The Return Response
This movie was very different. I thought at the begining of the movie that the boy would get killed after jumping off the large platform. Andrey seemed like a bully to me like he was part of the "bad" group. I was very, very suprised at the end when Ivan killed his father. It seemed as if they didn't even care that their father was killed, although he was a little psycho when he got mad. Ivan reminded me of a rebel little boy in a movie that would easily break down while at rough times. I did not understand why they dragged their father throughout the end of the movie.. to show their mother? In all this movie was a little confusing and a little creepy but I enjoyed it.

Do you think it's really accurate to say that Ivan (or anybody) killed the father? Wasn't his falling off that tower an accident? Which isn't to say that his refusal to accept his father might have had something to do with what happened--but one could as easily, I think, blame the father for all of this happening.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure the boys themselves understand why they are taking their father back--but it seems nonetheless like something they know they must and simply cannot help doing.
I disagree- i felt as though after the death of their father Ivan finally started to feel closer to him. The entire trip he refused to call him dad but after he died he constantly referred to him as dad which made me think he finally realized he was family.
ReplyDeleteI still argue the point on the father's death being Ivan's fault. Because as a father/parent it is your duty and responsibility to keep your children safe and I think Ivan left his father no choice but to find a different route after Ivan had closed the little door in the light house (or whatever that was).. but I guess there are two sides that I could agree on in this situation.
