The British film "Obscure", released in 2020, is a very niche parent-child film, although the film has a rating of 7.8 on Douban, but because of the bland plot and the depiction of death, it is difficult to recommend the idea of this movie.
The film, like the other film "Silent Life" recommended by the previous sharing fungus, is the work of Italian director Uberto Pasolini, and both films have thoughts about death and family companionship, but "Silent Life" is considered after death, while "Silence" tells the story before death.
Just like the original english name of the film nowhere special (nothing special), this film tells a very ordinary true story, the window cleaner John has been raising his son Michael alone since his wife abandoned their father and son, life is not rich but also tasteful, especially the son is also very obedient and sensible, which makes John particularly worried, but John finds himself terminally ill, he has to find a perfect new family for his son.
But after visiting the family that wanted to adopt Michel several times, John has always been dissatisfied with those people, as the most important choice in life he must be strictly controlled, Michel hopes that his son can get everything he has lost in his life in the new family, avoid becoming a glass cleaner like himself, but at the same time he is very concerned about the adoption of the family's care for Michel, the result is that the adoption is delayed again and again, and John's health deteriorates faster and faster.
In the process of finding a new home for his son, there is another question that plagues John, that is, whether to let his son know the fact that he is going to die, he does not want his son to experience this at such a young age, but this is also the fact that his son will eventually face, so John quotes an old lady and tells his son that his soul will go away, but will always live in the air, and can always meet him in his heart.
In the end, John's choice of new family for his son was also very special, among so many families that had been seen, there were teacher couples, ordinary couples who had adopted children, families that adopted many children, and social elite couples who did not want to have children, but John chose a lowly educated single woman who had lost her fertility due to early love abortion, and later her husband could not accept non-biological children and divorced, her conditions should be the worst of all adopters, but John found the difference between them.
Although the teacher couple could not get pregnant, they and John discussed the learning plan after Mai can, and the ordinary couple who adopted the child was because they could not have children and wanted to adopt another child to get the attention of others, they were very honest, and they also claimed to be good to the child, but because they hated puppies and Michel liked dogs, so they were passed; not to mention families with many children, watching the children contradict a lot, certainly did not get more love, and the last couple with a better family, Wives don't want to have children and husbands want to give back to society by raising children, the idea is very strange, but the most important thing is that they actually want to return the little dolls they gave away when John and Michel leave, which is really selfish.
In contrast, the single woman with the nose ring is the worst, but she and John discuss what Wheat likes to do, how she was when she was a child, and Michelle's views on many things, and she even asked Wheat ke if she could ask him questions before asking Michel questions, so this woman is the person who really cares about the children the most of all the options, and also respects the children, and finally chooses her, although the economy is not good, but it can make Michel have the most beautiful care.
If you think about it, how many couples in society have really cared about their children's own ideas, and they care mostly about their own preferences and their own life plans. Some people want to hope for Jackie Chan, some people need companionship, some people want to give back to the society, but very few people wholeheartedly for the sake of children, although it is pessimistic, but it is true, most of the ratings of this film are four stars and do not reach the highest five stars, which must also be related to this part of the idea expressed.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > Conclusion:</h1>
It's an unconventional parent-child movie, and both adoption and death in the film are very esoteric and full of negative content for children, but the film portrays raising as: when your parents can't take care of you, there will be two wonderful new parents to take care of the children, and there will be a new home. Death, on the other hand, is portrayed as a different way of companionship, both of which are useful for families who have suffered from such situations in their lives, and who can use the film to explain death and adoption to their children, and families in general to educate and reflect on their own problems.
