A brief introduction of my father romulus.

1. Father romulus is a Romanian immigrant and was named Jack after moving to Australia.

"Dad, why do they call you Jack?"

"Oh, my name is Jack here, so that others can remember it easily."

My father is strong and gentle, working silently in the fields at home. He lives with his son Ramonk. In this family, his mother is absent.

They live in the countryside of Victoria, Australia. In the Australian countryside in the 1950s, there were magnificent natural scenery or beautiful rural scenery before going to the movies. But no. The earth is far away and empty, it is yellow; The rocky rocks scattered everywhere are pale yellow; The wheat field at harvest can be photographed as "golden wheat waves", but the rolling wheat waves under the lens are not golden and dazzling, and some are pale yellow. A vast, dignified, barren yellow, rock-like dumb yellow, constitutes the keynote of this film. The director is right. He doesn't want "pastoral scenery" to cover up people's inner scenery.

The movie started on a winter night. In the farmhouse, my father holds dozens of bees in one hand and shakes them with a light bulb in the other-the bees will freeze to death if the weather is too cold. At this time, as long as they are provided with heat to warm them up, they can recover. The son watched intently.

4. The bees rescued in the morning are released outdoors. Father and son are sitting at the humble dining table of the farmhouse and having breakfast. The father took a sip of milk and then looked at his thin son with encouraging eyes; The son followed his father's example and took a swig of milk. Father and son competed to drink every drop of milk. This scene is warm and pleasant. I thought there would be such a warm shot at any time. However, the rest of the family's life is like running downhill, and the brakes can't stop. This scene at the beginning of the film became the warmest moment in the whole film.

My father's friend appeared, and Hora should also be a Romanian immigrant. Another silent and patient person. He and his brother Mickey are friends of this family, but Ramonk's mother lives with Mickey in Melbourne now. Hora came to tell his father that there was definite news from Melbourne that his wife lived with her brother. He's sorry. That happens to be his brother.

6. Mom finally came home. She is a beautiful woman, dignified and gorgeous. She likes to wear beautiful clothes and sing and dance anytime and anywhere. Father came back from the field and met his mother pulling Lamonk to dance under the eaves. He looked at his son and wife and applauded at the end of the dance.

7. The topic my mother would like to talk about is how her father was infatuated with her at the beginning, and in order to pursue her, he no longer cares about her life. She is a butterfly-like woman who wants beauty, love and the nectar of life. The monotonous country life held her back and made her unbearable. My father blamed my mother for turning her home into a hotel, coming whenever she wanted and leaving whenever she wanted. Although there were accusations and excuses, their love for each other still existed at that time. After the initial embarrassment, they slept in the same bed.

8. Mother left soon. Soon, I wrote to tell her that she would come back to this home with Mickey. Hora thinks this woman is crazy, and advises romulus to divorce and find another woman. Romulus refused, saying that it was the mother of the child anyway, and it was all a family anyway.

9. Mother and her lover live at home. This is the beginning of a series of events that Lamonk began to face.

10, mother and lover moved away from home and moved to the town; The mother was pregnant and gave birth to her daughter Minnie. Father sent Ramonk to town, and Ramonk stayed to help take care of his sister. Father left a letter for Ramonk to pass on, opened the envelope and slid down a pile of money.

1 1, Mi Qiu doesn't bother. He is friendly to Ramonk and dotes on his new daughter.

12, the mother has no interest in her daughter. She is not interested in being a mother. Minnie cried and cried, as if she didn't hear. Two people (Mickey and Ramonk) are waiting for the baby. Minnie cries whenever her mother feeds her, and her mother's eyes are blank, as if she can't figure out what the child has to do with herself. She ignored it and made Minnie cry. The scene is terrible. At this time, I think this woman is unforgivable.

13, Ramonk, 1 1 year-old thin boy, is a boy who loves movies. At this time, he is a sad little babysitter, pushing a stroller and taking his sister with him all day. He witnessed his mother and a man enter an abandoned house. His mother was having an affair, but she looked unhappy. He witnessed Miqiu knocking his mother to the ground, perhaps because her mother bought expensive clothes with Miqiu's meager salary again and again, or perhaps because Miqiu found herself cheating.

14, the beaten mother returned to the countryside. She cooked a meal for Ramonk's birthday. All the dishes are burnt, and Ramonk can't swallow them. Suddenly, he raised his little face and said with a smile, "It's delicious, Mom."

The next day, my mother committed suicide by taking sleeping pills. My dad called a car like crazy and took my mom to the hospital. Ramonk climbed onto the roof and stared at the unknown and unpredictable distance. Mom saved it this time.

15, and later Miqiu committed suicide. He climbed to the tallest tower in town and jumped. Before climbing to the tower, he dug a hole in the corresponding ground and inserted a sharp knife in the hole. He wanted to make sure that there was no accident in his suicide. "In order to avoid any accidents," my father told Ramonk about Mickey's death and repeated this sentence.

16. My mother gave Minnie up for adoption.

17, my father took out all his savings and sent Ramonk to the best boarding school in the area. There, Lamonk showed his intelligence and curiosity. Many years later, the child became a playwright and writer. This film is based on his collection of essays.

18. Mom came to visit Lamonk at school and took him to a restaurant for dinner. Mother put a coin in the record player and wanted Lalemonk to dance in the cafe. Ramonk refused. Children who begin to grow up know that everything is not so easy to be left behind by music and dance steps, and those tragedies that happened are not so easy to forget. After returning to school, he said to the headmaster, "If my mother comes to see me again, please tell her that I don't want to see her."

19, it wasn't long before my mother took sleeping pills for the second time. She really died this time. Before she died, the picture in her mind was that she was walking along the country road with Romulus and her young Lamonk. Once she was very happy, but she despised such happiness.

20. Father and son attended their mother's funeral. Such a sad, absent and lonely father and son will once again feel that their mother's death is unforgivable.

2 1. My father wanted to start a new life, but he was cheated by a woman. He was insane and sent to a mental hospital. Ramonk went to the hospital to visit his father. Under the sedative, his father became dull and bloated, and he no longer knew his son. Raymond ran out of the hospital in fright. He's really lonely, lonely.

22. Later, my father came home from a mental hospital. In the middle of the night, my father woke Ramonk. He said, "We have to get out of here. Come on. You must leave this land to live a good life. " In the cold and chaos, Ramonk drove his father's car on the road.

When he woke up the next morning, he found his father gone. There are cliffs not far away. There have been too many deaths, Lamonk looked down the cliff. Is this his father's home? At this time, my heart also lifted. It would be cruel if my father really jumped down and died.

24. I heard my father calling Ramonk's voice. Father is kneeling on the ground, picking up the frozen bees in the field. Father said, quick, start the engine. They use the heat of the engine to keep the bees warm. They wake up gradually, writhing in their palms, then flapping their wings and flying into the blue sky.

Almost every character in this film is impressive, but the most memorable one is not the father romulus in the title, but the son Lamonk, who is 1 1. How many things a child needs to see in this world! That shouldn't be seen by a child. It's all in sight, there's no choice, no choice, no escape. Life grows in trauma. Fortunately, like a frozen bee, he is still warm as spring in his later life.
