of the conflict between children, parents, and men:
some people say that the son is the enemy of the father, which can be seen from Christian's attitude towards the death of his mother. The plot reflects this very well. When Christian is older, he will definitely have a hand with his father. And he can't understand some of his father's behavior at his age, but the hostility between males is obvious.
Influence of parents on children:
Both children come from families that are not complete and happy. However, this incomplete combination is very typical in Denmark and Northern Europe. Seeing that the Nordics did not seem to give a perfect solution - the children of both families were affected by family discord to varying degrees. A little different: Elias's mother obviously passed on this dissatisfaction to Elias because of her dissatisfaction with her father's long-term absence - which can be seen from the child's fear of his mother. And the poem that Christian recites is also a portrayal of Christian's inner wound. Although the father praised the son, the son's eyes are that you don't understand me.
The contrast between peace and violence:
Although it is not the director's focus, when I see the dusty African children, the drinking water conditions are difficult, and the comparison between the glass house by the sea and the idyllic life in the garden in Denmark, I can't help but think, Why is there such a big difference? On one side is ignorance, blood and violence; on the other side is civilization, development and modernity. What's interesting is that, going out of material conditions, the life of Africans does not make people feel unhappy, and a football can make so many children happy for so long. And the lens of civilized society is quiet to a little dull. Changes in material and hardware have not obviously brought much enrichment to the spiritual world. Still have trouble.
Professional Mission and Ethics:
I approve of Christian's father's actions. As a doctor, you should save lives, no matter who you are. Because you are not a judiciary or a judge, you should not be involved in matters outside of these responsibilities. In the end, he fulfilled his responsibilities, the boss's leg was cured, and the doctor's bottom line was pierced by the boss's malicious provocative words, so he was thrown out-even though he knew what the consequences would be, it was all the boss's retribution . Physicians are conscientious and have strong moral judgments of their own.
Impulsivity and reason, violence and non-violence:
The doctor was slapped by the mechanic, and as a man of experience, he knew the limited use of violence against violence, so he didn't fight back. Africa is rich in resources, years of wars and violent conflicts, one government has fallen and another has come to power through violence. Poverty is still the same - the economy and modern civilization cannot come because there is no strategy - doctors and obviously know this. But the kids don't understand. So they went to the mechanic together - telling the kids it wasn't because of fear that they didn't fight back. I admired the sentence he said: "You fool, I was beaten by you, I brought the children here, and you should apologize to me in front of the children." It's just that the other party obviously didn't understand this sentence, so he beat him for the second time. . This idealized sound appears thin in reality. Reminds me of Gandhi. The idea of non-violence drove the British away but today the Indian army is getting nuclear weapons. Violence and non-violence will continue to entangle.
