The story of a father in a mountainous area of Chongqing who said goodbye to his children on his death, a humble movie - "Daddy's Dinner", what kind of Sichuan flavor of Wushan Yunyu is told? Taking stubbornness and willfulness as the theme of the movie is inconceivable to many people.
As the saying goes, one side feeds the other. Bashu, as a pot bottom structure located in the Sichuan Basin, is surrounded by mist, steaming in summer, and wet and cold in winter. The people who live here have endured the climate torment at the bottom of the pot in the basin and the hardships of hill climbing all year round, and there are more stubborn and willful people.
The Zhu family's father is a typical stubborn person in the Bashu Basin. His wife has died in his early years, his heart disease has been very serious, when he knows that his life is almost to the end, he put down his body, want to do a final goodbye with his four children who have been drifting outside for many years, drive his own dusty off-road vehicle for many years, and embark on the road of no return to Chongqing to say goodbye to their children, and the storyline unfolds.
Stubborn character, linked to persistence and paranoia. Its persistent side is manifested as too much intention and excellence, such a personality, often achieves a specialty or career, while the paranoid side is manifested as a kind of arrogance or loneliness.
The Zhu family's father is superb in cooking, and Sichuan cuisine is a must. It is easy to bring an ordinary restaurant to life than the third son of an executive chef in a large restaurant. However, he is also very tolerant of loneliness, and he has never even been to the home of several children for more than ten years, does not know his grandchildren and daughters-in-law, and does not understand their working and living conditions. The stubborn character also brings out a group of stubborn children, and the adult children do not usually move between each other and with their fathers.
The reason why the family is like this is because this father is not only stubborn, but also willful. Stubbornness has created him excellent craftsmanship and a rich life, while willfulness has made his wife and daughter separated. He drove his children at will according to his own wishes, cursed and grinned at any time, deprived them of their childish hearts, and even grabbed the paper windmill in the hands of his elementary school students, broke it and fell to the ground, and swept out the door. The eldest son divorced without learning to care, the second daughter married an old man about the same age as her father to seek security, the third son, although passing on his mantle, was also lonely and self-employed, but the child was exiled because of his underage life, and became a robber and was imprisoned.
Man will die, and his words will be good. In fact, in the story, the whole process of finding his children to say goodbye is the process of his atonement. He blamed himself and shed tears, he lowered his seemingly high head, and finally saw in the fog of Bashan that he was stepping on the real earth, not driving the fog. But it was too late, and he died on the way he had promised to see him, only a step away from the prison.
Papa Zhu died, and the children sent the ashes back to their hometown, except for the old dog who had been following him around, they had no tears, no touch, no regrets, and sending Dad back was only based on blood and the infamy they might bear.
Looking at thousands of years of history, the stubborn character promoted by the land of Bashu has never lacked top talents and heroic sons and daughters, but stubbornly imposing remoteness and building paranoia often goes to willfulness, bringing many people's sorrows and joys.
