From the thriller film The Secret Visitor to the reconstruction of the home

The movie "Secret Visitor" originated from the novel "Sweet Home", and I liked a sentence in the trailer for the final edition of "Secret Visitor": "Every family has a secret, and our secret is the family." Behind the thriller movie is full of meaning, with a new view of home, encountering irreversible pain under force majeure, and some positive perspectives on the aspects of the living at home. (Plenty of spoilers below)

This is a special family, look at its composition:

1. Mr. Wang (Aaron Kwok): Gay, ex-boyfriend photographer Roy committed suicide after breaking up due to pressure from Wang's family; after helplessly marrying XiaoXue, Xiaoxue and her ex-husband had a daughter for Chu Hitomi; Wang coaxed Xiaoxue to artificially conceive, secretly replaced the sperm with roy's, gave birth to a gray-eyed boy, Xiaoxue collapsed and committed suicide; the gray-eyed boy stumbled, forcing classmate Chen Xiaoqi to take 100 yuan to let the driver tie his shoelaces, and after the whole car of children was hit by a car, only Chen Xiaoqi survived under the rescue; for the spiritual revenge of the driver, He hid him in the basement for several years and repeatedly persuaded him to "surrender" (the driver was not at fault in the legal level), and at the same time, he adopted the bullied boy Chen Xiaoqi and changed his name to Wang Chuqi, forming a seemingly perfect family with Mrs. Wang and Chu Hitomi. He was later stabbed by Chu Hitomi.

2. Mrs. Wang (Xu Weining): Once a rich man, Xiao San, lived on the sky-high maintenance fee of his daughter Lulu, Houlu Lu died in a school bus accident, helplessly losing his financial resources, so he agreed to Mr. Wang's request to play the role of a mother in the restructured family. Because Mr. Wang was married, the family was depressed, and he later became pregnant with his lover's child. After creating all kinds of incidents, he very much wanted to disband or escape from this deformed home. Finally choose to stay.

3. Wang Chuyi (Zhang Zifeng): Mr. Wang's ex-wife Xiaoxue and the daughter of her ex-husband, eager to get the attention and love of her stepfather, like to paint with the driver Yu Sleepy Tree, have ambiguity about the driver, create various incidents but never disband the family. After stabbing his adoptive father, Mr. Wang, he was admitted to the juvenile detention center.

4. Wang Chuqi (Rong Zishan): Mr. Wang's gray-eyed son's classmate, formerly known as Chen Xiaoqi, was bullied and left permanently disabled due to the school bus incident. His father remarried and did not want to continue to appeal, and mr. Wang adopted him and changed his name to Wang Chuqi. Single-mindedly maintaining the integrity of the family, especially hoping to get the care of his sister, he will not hesitate to seek perfection, and he is especially afraid that his sister and mother will leave this home. After stabbing Mr. Wang, he entered the juvenile detention center and reconciled with Chu Qi during a visit together.

6. Yu Sleepy Qiao (Duan Hongyi): Orphan. The former aristocratic school driver and art teacher, because of helping the bullied little boy tie his shoelaces and smoking, the school bus was hit by a sudden car off the cliff, comatose and amnesia for 1 year, after recovering his memory, he still pretended to be amnesiac, because he longed for a home. Accustomed to staying in Mr. Wang's basement, choosing to maintain the integrity of the family in one incident after another, and finally turning himself in to find himself innocent, giving up the right to prosecute Mr. Wang for illegal detention, and choosing to return to this home.

From the dialogue of Chu Qi when Chu Qi visited Chu Hitomi at the Juvenile Detention Center at the end of the movie, the younger brother played for his sister with his heart, looked at his sister with deep affection and determination, and the sister gradually smiled and smiled with tears, saying:

"Brother, I've been thinking a lot about what home is.

Home should be a place where we can be protected.

Now I've been through so much,

I think we can also be the ones who protect the family.

The mistakes of the previous generation should not affect us all the time,

If you can,

I want to continue to be family with you.

Let's start over,

We

Let's start over. ”

Thinking of the many dissatisfactions and even grievances encountered in family life sometimes, it is not necessarily necessary to disband it by means of rebellion, speech, pickiness, escape, etc., but also to create it with greater power.

Remembering once meeting a grandmother, her wife was paralyzed in bed, listening to her say that before her wife was a cadre, she regarded alcohol as her life, often drunk and beat her, she thought about divorce many times, but she gave up thinking of her three sons. After that, she came into contact with a certain belief (the regular kind) by chance, and she has been practicing, insisting on studying every day, calming her heart, having an optimistic attitude, learning to protect herself, and being full of hope for life. Suddenly one day the old man was diagnosed with uremia, began to stay in bed for many years and rely on dialysis to maintain his life, listening to her chanting every day to fall asleep, sometimes she led him to a walk, the grandmother was in good spirits, during the epidemic period volunteered to volunteer in the community, her wife was quietly watching from the side. Every time there is any activity in the community, the elderly rush to the front to register, saying that both of them are party members, and this should be the case. A few days ago, I heard that her wife had passed away, and the state of the grandmother was still the same, but when I saw her again, I was dancing or studying with more grandmothers, and I was still the grandmother who was full of infectious energy and positive energy.

Forming a family is a choice, leaving it is a choice, rebuilding it, is also a choice. Different choices lead to different stories. Sometimes, we can choose to live this story and not live that story. Sometimes, we think about the story, but by chance, we live the story and create more meaning. In fact, we have always had a choice...

Mr. Wang chose to form a family, the original intention is to avenge, money and power can not save the life of his late son, hatred at the same time, he also created a home, when difficulties and challenges come, he chose to maintain this family. The secret was made public, but the home was still there.

Replace a little more quiet with a little more anxiety, and the meaning will come naturally. For the sake of meaning to live, for the value of choice, do not fear the choice, believe that behind every choice, there will be a fragrance, we are all over the mountains.

Believe that you can take care of yourself and that home.
