movie " Palos Verdes' Tribe " is a particularly depressing movie that tells how much influence the family of origin has on children. After watching it, my face is really covered in tears. Maybe only people who really understand the pain of the original family can empathize with this or feel the original sin of this kind of original family.
This is a more depressing and uncomfortable movie than "The Betrayal". The film tells that the mother has some mental illness, and it may be the father's repeated derailment that caused the mother's disease. Therefore, in order to change the status quo, my father asked the family to move away from the original place and go to an island, where he planned to live a new life.
However, during the house inspection, my father met the female manager of the sales house. In addition, the wife is always very negative and suppresses herself. Father felt that he could not survive, so he filed for divorce. After his father and mother divorced, he bought a villa for his mistress. But I can't bear to spend a penny at home. It's the ultimate irony.
After the father left, the mother kept pestering the heroine's brother, her son Jim, in order to make herself comfortable. Jim has always loved this family, and he can clearly see that the reason why his mother's condition has not improved is because of his father's derailment.
So Jim leaned on his mother's side, and had been enduring his own enormous pressure to accompany his mother. But the mother is the kind of temperament that can suffocate people, so Jim couldn't bear the pressure, started to take drugs, committed crimes, and became irritable and irritable. Although the previous mother had always turned a blind eye to the existence of the heroine, and did not even care about the child. But the heroine is still very independent and strong.
Since the heroine and her brother are twins, when the heroine sees Jim starting to collapse, she is always by his side. In the end, Jim chose to die. Before that, the hostess asked Jim to leave with her and escape the family, but in the end Jim still messed up the matter. I think he has collapsed to the extreme at this time! So in the end he chose to leave this world.
After the son's departure, the mother came to her senses, and the heroine left the family and went to the place of their dreams with Jim and her dreams. This is the shattering of a once happy family. In the midst of this family fragmentation, we can see a family that really needs space for communication, understanding, self-love and independence.
Maybe his mother put all his life on his father, so after he cheated, he would become more and more broken down. This directly shows that the mother is not a self-loving and independent individual. If her spirit is independent enough, she will not be easily hit later. Even when she fell, she was able to stand up.
and his father is an extremely selfish person, and he is also irresponsible. After all, he caused his wife's serious illness, but when his wife was seriously ill, he resolutely chose to leave for his own comfort. The one who once promised People who live and die together.
And in the face of this unselfish mother and irresponsible father, those who are most hurt are those who love them and love them the most, that is, the crystallization of their once self-righteous love.
Although this is a depressing film, why can't the theme be reversed? For example, this is a depressing movie, and the end of depression is death, so people should learn to save themselves. Whether it was the mother who gave everything to the family and her husband, or the father's infidelity forced the mother in the end. In the end, it was because they didn't have the heart to see through and save themselves, which led to the final breakdown of the family. Although it is very sage to say such words, people are independent individuals, so if you can’t pass your own test, it’s useless for anyone to be there.
As for visibility, the composition and tone on the screen are still very beautiful, and the atmosphere of repression is also well grasped. Especially the repression of the mother, and the constantThe suffocation of pestering his son and treating his son as emotional sustenance is still quite strong. The plot is also complete. It's just that the mother is a little less so because of her father's infidelity, not that she is a paranoid person herself. So if you are interested, you can take a look.
