At the beginning of the film, the old man's ramble made me a little desperate. I thought that if the whole film ended in this old man's ramble, I would collapse.
The old man lived in the house of a war-wounded buddy by working as a garbage worker, bragging and drinking with his white buddy every day, flirting with his wife, and finding a girl outside to relax by the way. Maybe it's a respite from the heavy burden of life.
The old man is a typical Chinese father. He expresses a lot of friendship to his wife, but is indifferent to his children, who are responsibility to him. Therefore, the relationship with the two sons is not good, because they have never been recognized.
The old man cheated at the age of 52 and likes to be a father. When I came back and confessed to my wife, instead of admitting my mistake, I kept emphasizing my pain, and my wife slapped her face hard. Yes, who did not want to give up after 18 years of marriage, but the essence of marriage is to persevere.
The old man is very hostile, self-centered, complaining all day long, and looks at people with an old eye. All people's knowledge comes from their own past experiences. The old man felt that people of color have always been discriminated against, they have not been given good jobs, they have not been reused for playing, they are always extroverted, and they do not consider their own problems.
The old white guy said that the fence is to keep people from outside and people from inside out. But the deepest barrier was in the old man's heart.
I wrote it blindly, trying to sort it out, but it didn't work.
