Ordinary mind and extraordinary growth

I found this movie on station b through a few screenshots. Although it seems that I had found the wrong 2333, the rich emotions contained in the plain story made me feel late.

I haven't read the introduction, but I really enjoy the process of getting to know Con and his family gradually. Many of the dialogue details in the film are not deliberate, but highlight a sense of exquisite coincidence. It seems that fate is giving the male protagonist the opportunity to choose again and again, and it seems that the world repeatedly interrogates human beings, and the subtle differences during the period are also peaceful. And faithfully showing the changes in the character’s mental journey, in short, it suits me very well hhh

Through the psychological analysis of adolescents, many complicated themes such as family conflicts, personal growth and self-identification are revealed, and it is also an answer to the creator's family, love and even human nature.

I really like the male protagonist Con, not perfect but very real. Some of the seemingly awkward shortcomings are actually the reflection of his love and kindness. He also likes his gentle father Cal. His selfless love and dedication to his family have truly warmed the children and is also a solid backing for him to regain his confidence and start his life. I feel that there is not much attention to the role of mother, but it perfectly shows the different annotations of her father and second son's love for her, and can also feel the sense of separation between her true nature and her barriers. I feel that this may also be an expression of her failure to realize her true pursuit. Does the love for her brother, the pursuit of perfection, and the obsession with popularity make her forget the truth she wants? Does the surprise at the moment of being embraced give her a moment of thinking? In fact, the death of the elder brother only made the existing contradictions in the family more acute, but people always want to deny sadness and failure, even if they are soaked in the illusion of happiness, this is a common story. After a sharp self-denial, mutual understanding is gained, and it becomes a more stable and rational state of happiness. This may also be an ideal of the author.

The psychologist in the film is also a charismatic character. It is worth mentioning that he was always asking and listening at the beginning. He is very good at discovering the feelings of others hidden under the illusion and gaining their trust. . At first, the protagonist said that it was uncomfortable to be with him, but now it seems to be uncomfortable tension. But when their dialogue gradually became in harmony and became like friends, it also showed the male protagonist's acceptance of his true self. But when Con learned of his sister's death and asked him for help, they gained a real understanding. For the first time, he showed empathy and showed the support of friendship. This kind of shared mindset and mutual support between people really shocked me. To be honest, as a rotten man, I have never seen two men hugging each other and didn't want to crooked ´д`; this is a rare baptism.

Another aspect of the movie I like very much is the sound effects (?). The beginning and the end are also Canon, but because of the progress of the plot, it has a completely different color. If the Kannon sung by the rap choir is a cold color that seems quiet but confused in reality, the communication between the male protagonist and his father after he grows up makes the song full of warmth, which is a feeling that can achieve the beauty of human nature. There are still many places where there is no soundtrack, only the sound of words and clothes rubbing, a kind of empty silence makes me feel the state of Con, and feel the immersion of the story, even the confusion, anxiety, tension and disappointment at different stages. , Worry and sunny, it is a different kind of enjoyment.

After blowing a wave, I still want to say thank you for this movie. I haven't seen a movie so happily for a long time. I really enjoyed the process of talking with the director, actors and myself. I am eager to gain understanding and happiness, as if I miss these 26 and 7 years old and I will miss everything, but today I suddenly felt that there is no need to cling to the happiness of love between men and women, and life is not without happiness.

Record one hundred times of human happiness here, maybe I can get happiness too? I feel it will be a wonderful practice

    Before hearing this sentence, I had always disliked that mother, and I was more attached to the tenderness of the father, who felt sad for the boy, and the son asked himself: "Who should forgive who?" I was thinking or thinking about the child's psychological In the process of growing up, who is the main body? Dad went to the psychiatrist and said: I understand why I came to you, just want to talk about myself. At that time, I immediately thought of me: I want to find someone to be myself every day! In the end, I still don't understand the mother.
