The mother, in order to punish her son, threw him into a large forest with lions. In less than 2 minutes, the son disappeared without a trace. The couple searched for more than 20 minutes, but they couldn't find the child. When the police came to question, the mother lied, saying that her son wanted to get out of the car to urinate. ......I watched a low-budget movie "Punishment" over the weekend. Although the story takes place in Chile, it also pierces the hearts of thousands of Chinese women on the other side of the Pacific.
Anna and her husband are driving on a road in the forest with their 7-year-old son. The family drove to visit their grandmother. From north to south, the road is long. The husband and wife took turns driving, and the fatigue could not be concealed. My 7-year-old son was bored in the back seat, and when he passed by the dense forest, his interest was ignited, and he shouted to get out of the car and take pictures. But the departure itself was an hour late, and if it was delayed, it would not be enough to catch the dinner, so Anna and her husband refused. The irritable child starts to lose his temper and goes crazy in the back seat. Yelling and kicking the seats in front of you. The couple warned their son to calm down and punish him if he made any more trouble. The son not only did not stop, but made more trouble. Directly broke free from the seat belt, and the whole person pounced on Anna who was driving. The view was completely blocked, and Anna instinctively stepped on the brakes.
The thrilling moment completely angered Anna.
She opened the car door and got out of the car, pulled her son out, pointed to the big forest and said, "You want to take pictures, right?" Take your own time and shoot enough. Then he turned back to the driver's seat, closed the door, and drove away. After 2 minutes of driving, Anna regretted it.
Her husband also kept persuading her to go back: "It's almost enough, go back and get your son back." Anna braked hard and quickly turned the steering wheel. But when he returned to his destination, the child disappeared and was nowhere to be seen. The couple panicked completely. Hurried into the depths of the forest to look for it. They try to guide the child to respond in a variety of ways. But the empty forest has nothing but echoes. Finally, the two find a hat under a tree. It's getting dark soon, and it's said that there will be lions in this forest.
The couple had no choice but to call the police.
When the police arrived, Anna, worried about getting into trouble, lied that her son had gotten out of the car because he wanted to urinate.
But because her expression was too calm. The police were not convinced, and later found two more signs of emergency braking. It was concluded that Anna had lied.
The child has not been able to find it.
Anna lied again and again, the husband was angry, he felt that his wife did not care enough about his son, and the two broke out into an argument.
Anna was emotionally broken, and had to go into the forest alone to look for the child, and if she didn't find death, she wouldn't come out. She knew that only when she found her son would her husband be angry and the world would cease. The policewoman was worried that something had happened to her and quickly followed.
Anna couldn't help but cry her heart. She lied and concealed it because she was afraid that she would be blamed for making a big fuss. She is afraid that if she does something wrong, she will be called a bad mother. She has taken care of her husband and son for so many years, and she doesn't want to bear a lifelong infamy because of her negligence. The policewoman, who is also a mother, was speechless. She stopped Anna and let her go into the forest. Anna apologizes to her son while crying, begging him to forgive his mother. Roars echoed through the forest. Looking at his wife who was out of control, her husband ran over and grabbed her.
Facing her husband, the exhausted Anna spoke her heart:"There was a part of me that I didn't want to see him again. ”"I've never been happy since Lucas was born. "My whole life revolves around him, and I wake up and sleep thinking about him. "All his things are my taking care of, going to school, attending activities, seeing doctors, ......The husband was busy explaining that he had also taken his son to the doctor.
Anna retorted: "Yes, you took him to the doctor, seven years, twice. "One time she almost lost her job, and another time she broke her leg and had to ask her husband to take her to the doctor.
The husband said that he had never denied that Anna was a good mother. Anna asked rhetorically, "Do you know why I quit?" Any idea why I would want to give up a job that I love so much? The husband thinks that Anna loves his son very much and wants to spend more time with him. Anna shook her head:"The reason is that I can't stand working eight hours a day and then taking care of my son. ”Anna talked to all the mothers around her, and everyone said: despite the overload of effort, despite giving up the career she loves, being a mom is worth it. Watching the child sleep peacefully, happily throwing herself into her arms, and calling her mother sweetly, you can enjoy the joy of being a mother. But Anna had never felt this way of joy.
My son was diagnosed with ADHD. Anna felt that the child should understand that the rules were within ** and should be punished accordingly, but her husband disagreed, he thought that the child was still young and could not be too strict. Different perceptions make Anna a strict mom and her husband a tolerant dad. Over time, the child's resentment towards his mother became heavier and heavier, which made Anna, who was already responsible for most of the parenting tasks, very devastated.
It is true that the husband also has the company for the children, but his task is light. Telling stories, watching movies, catering to your child's needs, and not generating any negative emotions. And she obviously gave so much, but she was still disgusted and disgusted by her son, she couldn't stand it. Finally, Anna said tiredlyIf I could go back in time, I wouldn't choose to get pregnant, even if it meant losing you and my baby. The name of the movie is Punishment. But it is not the child who is really punished, but the mother. The core points to:Motherhood punishment. In a family, whoever takes on the responsibility of caring for the children will have to give up economic opportunities due to time and energy constraints, and will be punished by "Darwinism" society.
Most of the time, it is the mother who is "punished by motherhood". Anna said she didn't want to have a baby because her husband wanted to have a baby, so she did.
Now she regrets it. The child only reminds her that she has lost her job as a magazine editor for her favorite magazine, and that she has lost herself.
She also struggled to balance work and family. But it was too difficult, she couldn't do it, she had to give up and choose the path of being a good mother. Choosing a path she doesn't like makes her increasingly neurotic.
Anna's roar is not the voice of most mothers, and the standards for judging mothers in this society are harsh, distorted and unreasonable. After giving birth, you can't get out of shape, and it's best to have a vest line right away. While being able to take care of a good baby, it is best to have a successful career, and at the same time keep up with your husband's footsteps to achieve self-improvement. Decathlon is a good mother. Once you take a wrong step, you will be pointed at and scolded for the rest of your life. On the contrary, the husband always has an easy reputation. You only need to participate in a part, and you can say confidently, I worked hard to earn money, and I also took a baby, I don't blame you for doing something wrong, why are you still not satisfied, why do you still lose your temper? This is also true in real life. A father who is willing to buy vegetables, cook and take care of the baby, will definitely become an Internet celebrity father if he shouts on the Internet. Even if Dad does it, it's just the daily life of countless ordinary mothers.
I think of David Beckham and Victoria.
There was once a documentary about Victoria who conducted a 24-hour personal follow-up and witnessed the daily life of the star's wife and the star's baby. Victoria's schedule is like this: 6:30, get up, shower, and reply to emails.
Wake up the three children at 7 o'clock and feed the children.
At 7:50, the children were sent to school, three babies and three schools, she sent two, and her husband sent one.
From 9 p.m. to 4 p.m., she was engrossed in her work.
After 4 o'clock, pick up the children, go to the interest class for those who should go to the interest class, and play with the one who should play.
When I got home, I ate, drank, and served Lazar. After 9 o'clock, the three babies were finally put to sleep, and Victoria finally had time for herself.
It is clear that the task of taking care of the children is all on Victoria.
But the overwhelming reports are praising the good father Beckham. In the documentary, Victoria also mentioned that in front of the family, her work must give way.
And the husband only needs to say, sorry, I can't go, I still have a job, and he can easily shake off his hand.
Families like theirs, with drivers, nannies, and tutors to help, still make Victoria overwhelmed. For women from ordinary families, it is even more difficult. There is a scene in the movie where the husband breaks down and asks: He is your child, don't you love him?! Anna saidNo, I love him, I just don't want to be his mother. Anna hates the identity of "mother" because everyone has a "code of competence" for "mother". Mothers can never make mistakes and always prioritize service and devotion to their children. In the event of any problem, the mother is always the first person responsible. In the identity of mother, women must take the initiative to sacrifice themselves and be free step by step. If you can't, then you're in trouble. At the end of the movie, the son also appears safely as Anna expected. The ending is frozen in the mother's gaze.
This is a point in the question, calling for more peopleAttention is paid to the "punishment" that the family has imposed on this poor mother. The punishment of motherhood is only gendered, and there are no national borders. Therefore, this film can resonate a lot in China. Motherhood punishment has a victim and a beneficiary. It is hoped that the beneficiaries can also empathize with their mothers' hearts, give something, and give more fairness and respect to those who sacrifice themselves.
