This barrier makes the male protagonist isolated from the world, more self-contained, and does not accept changes in society and people. (Rose says people have changed, he doesn't accept it, and always refers to the past.)
This barrier isolates the male protagonist from his wife, making him more of a male ego. He believes that he has taken responsibility, fulfilled his obligations, and tried his best to be a man. He ignored his wife's persistence and the position of his wife in the family, and did not respect her feelings. (There are all his shadows at home, Rose said he is so big, no one else)
This barrier separates the male protagonist from the children, his rationality far exceeds his sensibility, and he cannot express his love. I want my child to be a better version of myself, but I refuse to be outside the barriers of others. I always tell my child that what you use is mine. . . . . .
This fence separates the male protagonist from his cheating girlfriend, as if he made a choice in his heart. After confessing to his wife that he cheated, he accelerated the construction of the fence. Every time he slammed the stake into the ground, he seemed to be fighting with his heart. The fence was built and his girlfriend died in childbirth, which gave him the best solution to return to the family and exit the endgame, and the scope of the family was consolidated. How can there be such a simple ending in the real world? ! His girlfriend died, leaving a child, and she was fortunate enough to be adopted as her own, giving her the best. How can there be so many Virgin Roses in the world? How many other three children will give up? The two women are very miserable. One accepts the reality and the other dies. When they meet the male protagonist, they owe him in their previous life.
This barrier isolates the male protagonist from death and poverty, hoping to have his own space, dreams, and heaven and earth. He yelled "I'm not reconciled" several times.
This fence isolates the male lead from his past, wishing he was free from the shadows of his childhood pain, and that his heart was not condemned (his mad brother often ran out of the yard).
This barrier makes the heroine hope to be able to encircle her home and keep her love, but in fact she imprisons herself from the bottom of her heart and loses herself. This fence is also like the belonging that marriage gave her, and since then she has a roof and sings below.
This barrier enabled the eldest son to inherit the teachings of his father, learn to be self-reliant (have a job and pay back money every time he comes back) and insist on his dreams, which symbolizes the power of family education and family rules.
This barrier made the younger son grow up when he bumped into it. Fences are like the oppressive, absolutely ruling patriarchy. It's like the original family that is trapped in the circle, always wanting to let people go out, but telling people that no matter how far they go, their home is there, their parents are there, and they have to go home. Good and bad must accept him.
This barrier gives the youngest daughter a place to belong in life, which is the world she grew up in.
This fence makes the male protagonist's friend the confidant of the three fences, one hero and three gangs. Knowing you when you're in trouble, reminding you when you're lost, and you've got your fence, I've always had my wife, home, poker game.
This barrier made the male protagonist's younger brother keep coming into the world, symbolizing the switch back and forth between love and hate. It was normal to go home for a while, and then he was madly stimulated, saying that he was going to drive the hellhounds (that is he elder brother).
The material of the fence is hard pine, which is actually not needed at all, which is also mentioned in the film. From here, it can also reflect how serious the inner confinement is and how eager he is to protect the family.
There is also the fact that the male protagonist asks the younger son to repair the fence with him. On the surface, he is a student, living at home, and still has time and energy to do this with him. In fact, the younger son plays baseball, and he inherits his father's business. When Dad built the fence, he was actually inheriting his father's business. He asked him to do it with him several times, and several times to let him stop doing the things he ordered. It's all a reflection of his love for his children.
