How to evaluate the movie Guardianship? Is the father in the movie really pitiful?

The father in the movie Guarding Storm is not pitiful, because domestic violence itself is something that should not be forgiven.

Children are always the ones who suffer the most in domestic violence. Guarding Storm focuses on domestic violence with a divorced parent as the guide. While trying to get into the children's psychology, it also tries to deconstruct the real horror of domestic violence, so that the audience can see from the perspective of a third person that domestic violence has brought unhealed wounds to the whole family. Finally, the director Xavier Legrand's thrilling and suspenseful ending not only pushed the film to a climax, but also fully mobilized the audience's emotions.

The beginning of Guardianship is a court divorce drama. The focus of the battle between husband and wife is the custody of children. It seems that the straightforward dialogue between husband and wife is restrained, but it is narrated that the family is on the verge of breaking up, facing the hidden pain of the court. The wife accuses her husband of using violence against the children, while the husband accuses her of brainwashing the children. He is a gentle and good father, and both sides hold their own words, which makes the judge unable to distinguish between true and false.

As the story unfolds, the film reveals the truth step by step. The young child is reluctant to get along with his father. The father keeps asking his son Julian for his new home address, which can be seen in the details, making the image of the abuser in the film more stereoscopic, unable to control his emotions, and still having a morbid desire to control his divorced wife. After showing his rage and violence, he will cry in the hope of getting forgiveness from his wife and children.

A rather ingenious point in Guarding Storm is that the film does not make the abusive husband a heinous thug at the beginning. On the contrary, he is good at winning the sympathy of others, still trying to win the custody of the children in the face of the broken marriage, and even trying to change it. However, it is such a seemingly atypical person who is the most real one. He has caused unspeakable pressure on the children and played Julian.

In family relations, there are two things that should never be forgiven. One is deception, and the other is violence. The former is about character, and the latter is about nature. When a person can't control his emotions and can use violence against the people closest to him, the continuation of such a relationship will only lead to a chilling tragedy like the last movie, because every abuser is extremely selfish in nature, and he can't really realize his blind spot. This means that the husband in Liri movies knows what his atrocities will bring, but he still does it. For the victims, compromise and tolerance will only lead to more violence.

In the face of domestic violence, anyone should bravely say no! This is not only for myself, but also for the children. After all, a broken single-parent family has at least family support, but a violent family of origin will only destroy everyone. Poems and books in literature/dreams
