is also about domestic violence, today I want to talk about a French family movie with thriller effect.
"Guardianship"
"Guardianship" at last year's 74th Venice Film Festival won the Silver Lion Award for best director and best debut , although the director Xavier Leger was in the film Rarely exaggerated scenes of violence, but it can make you truly feel the horror of domestic violence. The
film went straight to the start, and the couple went to court for the custody of their 11-year-old son Julian.
It can be known from Julian’s testimony that the two parents separated a year ago and Julian has been living with his mother Milan and sister Josephine. However, Julian, as the party concerned, did not attend the hearing. The reason for
is very clear: he doesn't want to see that person, every family member is afraid of that person, and "that person" refers to his father Anton.
Milan’s lawyer pointed out that due to personal safety considerations and concerns about family members, Julian strongly stated that he rejected his father, because Anton’s domestic violence would harm his family members .
At the same time, Milan’s testimony and Josephine’s medical records can also prove that was beaten by his father because his daughter skipped school to go on a date.
can still feel her lingering palpitations during the narration in Milan.
The defense lawyer gave a different argument. The lawyer believes that education is the responsibility of both parties and cannot deprive Anton of the cultivation of his children. Milan can't justify the father's abuse of his daughter with a certificate from the nurse.
Anton argued that his daughter was injured in the gym, and the lawyer also questioned the reliability of Julian's testimony. Lawyer
pointed out that Anton’s various compliments from colleagues and friends show that he is just a simple ordinary person and does not have the so-called violent tendency.
Anton applied to the court for joint custody, and even gave up his job, sold his real estate, and moved to his wife’s community. In order to meet Julian, he voluntarily slept in the car and waited at the door until dawn.
It seems that Anton is a good and warm father .
Anton claimed that the alienation of their children was the result of their brainwashing by Milan.
But is it the mother's secret manipulation or the father's violence and cruelty?
Both husband and wife hold their own opinions, and the lack of evidence makes it difficult for the judge to distinguish between true and false. Anton’s defense also touched the judge’s heart.
In the end, the judge ruled that the two parties jointly owned Julian's custody, and Julian was going to Antona the next week.
When Anton went to pick up Julian, it could be seen that Julian did not want to be close to his father, but Anton still hugged his son and kissed him affectionately.
Anton’s residence was renovated. He and Julian went to live with their parents.
When Julian offered to participate in the birthday party of his sister on the exchange weekend, as a father, he did not show the understanding that he should be, but Anton, who was accompanied by his son, chose to remain silent.
Anton thinks that Milan did not directly talk to him about the weekend change is disrespectful to him, making him very angry, and he put his anger on Julian.
Julian is a sensible child. In order to prevent his father from calling and harassing his mother, Julian deleted his mother's contact information .
is eatingDuring the meal, Anton’s mother accidentally mentioned to her neighbor that she had met Julian in the city last week.
They live in the suburbs, why do they appear in the city? Anton felt that he had been concealed, furious, and pulled Julian away amidst his father's reproach.

The weak Julian relies on his own way to protect his mother, revealing helplessness in Julian's eyes.
said "I beg you, don't beat mother" was sad. It hurts even more.
Finally Anton persuaded Julian to find his mother.
Anton’s eyes in the elevator were trembling, because no one knew what he would do when he was irritable.
Fortunately, Anton put away his irritability and became polite, leaving tears of repentance when facing the mother and son. Claiming to have changed for the better.
But things are not as good as expected.
at Josephine’s birthday party night. Anton wants to give his daughter a gift and also wants to take this opportunity to save the family, but Milan knows that Anton’s regret is only temporary, and she has no relentless heart. During the conversation, the appearance of the Milan boyfriend completely angered Anton. Anton's violent side was revealed again, and he wanted to hurt Milan again.
Fortunately, Milan’s sister arrived in time and rescued her.
The nightmare brought by Anton did not end there. After
mother and son went home, Anton came to harass again, Milan thought he would leave after shouting a few times.
But the furious Anton didn't give up and slammed the door severely.
Although the door was not kicked open, he came prepared, picked up the gun and scared the mother and son to escape to the bathroom and called the police.
At this time, Anton has lost his reason and turned into a terrifying beast. What's more terrifying is a beast that only hurts his family.
The poor mother and son can only lie in the bathtub waiting for rescue. This kind of helpless despair is really worrying.
Fortunately, the police arrived in time to avoid the disaster. The
film ends after the police overpowered Anton who broke the door with a shotgun, and ended with Anton’s shouts and Milan’s silence. The wonderful thing about
is that polishes the details and , especially when the father and son are alone. The director of
