The protagonist is a pair of brothers, the elder brother is Marcus, the younger brother is Lucas, the mother is a director and the father is a producer. This is a private video recording of two brothers for eight years. The background is Norwegian scenery, an old house between Oslo and Smola Island. There is a river in front of the house and a whaling ship on the sea.

The river is always flowing forward, not anxious or slow, like the passage of time, all the moments are passing away, and there is no turning back, it will only stay in the camera forever.

This is a line from the film. What is childhood? I feel like I can fly as soon as I put on the sheets. It is also a strange thing for a puppy to tickle. Happiness and sadness always come and go violently. Perhaps, every audience's childhood memories, those about growth, troubles, happiness and companionship, are waking up little by little with this lens.

From the moment we were born, we began to explore the world. The world is completely strange and unknown to us, and it takes courage to try and explore every step.

From the beginning, this film was about courage. It looks like the first diving of two brothers. Brother and brother took off their T-shirts together, eager to try. My brother takes the lead and my brother hesitates. He watched my brother swimming in the water with envy and timidity. My brother went ashore to encourage him and told him that there would be no danger. He kept telling him to cheer, but he still chickened out. He put on a T-shirt and left. My brother shouted to him, "coward!" " , he also stayed.

When fear arises, you can only overcome yourself.

This family is related to water. My mother's ancestors were fishermen. They live at sea and hunt whales and fish. In the face of the unpredictable life at sea, they must be brave, strong and witty so as not to be swallowed up by the sea. Therefore, persistence and stubbornness seem to be imprinted in their bones.

Lucas' brother lay in the grass in a daze. After being alone with himself for a period of time, he finally made up his mind to dive under the constant call of his brother. He took a deep breath and counted one, two and three. His bare feet are shaking, and fear is still with him. But this time, he suppressed his fear, overcame it, and took the courage to take a step.

His face showed surprise and joy, as well as relief and relaxation, which seemed sudden. It's not terrible, but it seems happy. It turns out that diving is so cool.

He climbed ashore and said it was a little cold, so it shouldn't be cold the second time.

You see, once you take the first step, the rest will be easy.

I believe that everyone will experience such a moment when growing up. I remember a time when I was in physical education class in primary school, and I had to learn vault.

Run-up, support and jump. At that time, I always thought that I would fall badly as a sports idiot. However, when I really tried, it was not difficult to find out. You are much stronger than you think. You just need courage.

Now that we have grown up, we have to face many difficulties and fears. When we are timid, maybe we should remember how brave we were when we were young.

In Sophie's world, all philosophical problems begin with curiosity, and curiosity begins with thinking about the universe and life. Babies are the most curious. They fell into a brand-new world from the womb, and young souls began to observe and think about this world.

As an audience, when you watch the growth of two brothers all the time, you seem to become a child and see the way they look at the world.

This is Lucas' brother's view of the world. Even trivial things such as older children who like to walk with headphones are his attention. This is his observation of the world.

Lucas especially likes to say something full of philosophical meaning and think deeply like a philosopher.

They know nothing about thinking about the universe, God, the origin of the world and the emergence of the world. Without many experiences brought by those growth, this kind of thinking is more direct, pure and colorful.

My mother asked my brother, what do you think our movie is about? The elder brother said, "What good friends and brothers we are."

On the first day of his brother's school, Marcus took his brother to find a first-grade class, and the first-grade building was on the second floor. My brother said, "It will be difficult for Lucas to reach such a high level."

My brother lost a tooth, held it in his hand and observed it repeatedly, marveling at how big it was. When showing it to his brother, his attention was not on his teeth. He took a paper towel and wiped his brother's tooth in his mouth. Then he brought a glass of water and put his brother's teeth in it. He said, "put this by your bed. This is where it belongs."

The two brothers do push-ups together, and strength seems to be the pursuit of boys since childhood. Brother is obviously stronger than brother. My brother bent his arm to show his bulging biceps, and my brother followed suit. His muscles were obviously less developed than his brother's. My brother boasted that he got up earlier than him every day, did more than 20 push-ups and drank a spoonful of cod liver oil. Unwilling brother also began to secretly train alone.

Winter in northern Europe is a world of snow and goose feathers. In the snow, two boys are making a snowman. They rolled out a huge snowball and there was only one last step left. They must lift the snowball together. While suspecting that the other party didn't exert his strength, he also cooperated with Qi Xin to move the huge snow ball into the snowdrift and make the snowman's head.

However, brotherhood is not always happy. When it's good, it's like adding honey. When it's noisy, it hates each other.

The scene of the refrigerator is the most impressive.

The younger brother gave the yogurt to his younger brother, took out a box of chocolate beans and stuffed them into his mouth one by one. My brother began to get nervous, staring at the box of chocolate beans with one eye, and kept asking, "Why have you been eating?" Do you want to eat it all? "

My brother said discontentedly, "I gave you all the yogurt." While pouring the remaining half box of chocolate beans into my brother's yogurt.

After eating yogurt, my brother climbed into the cupboard to get cookies. My brother became a control freak and stopped him. My brother is very dissatisfied. "You are not responsible here!" "Facing his grumpy brother, he said earnestly," You can't eat sweets any more. "But, my brother angrily pushed down the dirty bucket and spilled it on the floor. At this time, my brother is really like a helpless parent, asking him to wipe it with a rag.

We will quarrel, we will hate each other, our younger brother hates his brother's desire for control, and his younger brother will have a headache. My brother is a naughty boy, disobedient and with a big temper.

However, when they really accidentally hurt each other, they regretted it very much.

In the snow, two people compete for football. My brother gave my brother a push and he fell heavily on the ice. This scared my brother, which he didn't expect. He apologized to his brother guiltily, and his brother called him an asshole angrily. He said stay away from Marcus. He has a bad brother. My brother retorted, "It's not bad for you to listen to me. I want to be your friend. "

In this case, my brother sighed: "It is not easy to be a brother. I mean, being strong is easy, but when fighting, I am stronger than him, which is unfair to him. "

In the craft class, my brother made Lucas a Christmas present. This is a wooden sign of Santa Claus, which is very rough and abstract. However, this little gift made Lucas very happy.

When the movie is named Brothers, companionship is an indispensable theme, which exists in every day, every minute and every second. How lucky it is to have another person with you on the road of growth, and two souls collide, support each other and fall in love.

We have unhappy times and many happy times. I have witnessed every change and every step of your growth. I am my brother, like a tour guide, and my brother is like his little tail. I will follow his example. We love and hate. We have many recreational activities and do many things together. There is no closer relationship than this.

Those small details in the film are always easily moved, and people with brothers and sisters will have a strong voice; No one will envy such a company.

My brother's dream is to become a football star. He knows that it needs hard work, which may be influenced by his father, who is his football coach. After losing a friendly match, my brother looked very depressed. Maybe it was football that made him realize the gain and loss of life. After losing for a while, he concluded, "Football is for fun, which is the key, and victory is not the whole."

My younger brother was impressed. My little brain loves to wear underwear with football patterns, so I will win tomorrow. For playing football, he thinks the key is to run fast, faster than a police car.

The diving scene seems to have happened again. Near the football field, the young brother suddenly got cold feet and didn't want to go to his team because he hated running. It was difficult to compromise with running, but he met unfriendly friends. Football made a bad first impression on him.

Looking at his father and brother on the football field, he raised his middle finger at a distance, and the young love and hate came to such extremes.

At this time, my mother asked, "Lucas, what is your biggest dream?" He said: "My biggest dream is revenge. This is my dream. I only care about myself and don't care about others. "

It seems that he extended his dissatisfaction with football to the whole world, instantly blacked it out and swore his dissatisfaction with football.

However, when he was a little older, while practicing with his brother, he suddenly declared, "I love football. I like Rooney, Manchester United and Rosenberg. "

It seems that in a short childhood, love and hate are nothing. Some people say that the sky in June is like a child's face. It changes when it changes. They are extreme, but they are also direct.

Brother's rebellion and casualness seem to be innate. On the first day of school, while walking, I was humming a casual song.

After the novelty at first, he began to be tired of learning. When the teacher stops him from painting, he will be upset because of being interrupted and say that the teacher is shameless; He hates math, but he can't choose, so he feels "hate school, which is the worst thing in the world."

When all kinds of boredom accumulated, he angrily wanted to go home. He wanted to escape from this place and kept announcing how tired he was of it. He complained, "Who invented the school cluster and so on?"

Mother's camera began to shake and scribble on the floor or wall. At this time, the identity of the mother and the identity of the director clashed. She had to stop filming and chase after his children to persuade him, "You can't run away every time you encounter difficulties."

He responded strongly: "Of course! I can! I can drop out of school directly! "

The suggestion didn't go well, so my mother decided to move out: "My mother will blame you if you don't go back."

However, my younger brother is like a little devil in MengMeng. He said that if they blamed their mother, he would kick them and call them "fuck you".

My brother is also tired of learning, but not so extreme. He is just fascinated by arithmetic homework, and he can feel the impulse to lift the table every minute across the table.

My mother's suggestion is no longer so smooth, and they have their own rebuttal. At that age, school seemed to be the biggest burden and trouble. After writing an article in just one week, my brother felt that his future life would not be too smooth.

Once upon a time, we were also like this, worrying about exercises, boring classes and annoying teachers. It seems that we can't see the camera in our academic career, but everything passed quickly. At that time, no matter how big the troubles were, looking back, they were all so insignificant.

Growth seems to be quiet, but it is so clear.

The round childish face began to have edges and corners, and my brother began to care about his image. At the first meeting of the class, he always looked at the mirror to take care of his hair, but he always seemed dissatisfied. The irritability caused by this tension has shifted to filming.

Growth brings adolescence, and adolescence gives a boy the concept of gender. He began to feel strange to the girl and began to remember his first kiss.

When he was a teenager, Marcus was addicted to rock and roll. Besides football, he joined a band. He said he would give up everything for the band and football.

But Lucas, the philosopher's brother, said that you must choose between football and band.

Marcus likes Green Day because they are cool. He wants to dye his black hair and wear earrings, but he is worried that his father won't like it. This was the trouble of his time. I told my father my thoughts carefully, hoping to get his approval. My father really held a negative attitude, but this did not dispel my brother's idea.

The young man's heart opened a new world, and he wanted to try something new. This little throb will only get worse. He did it anyway, dyed his hair and wore earrings. After all this, he was happy and excited, and couldn't help laughing, but at the same time he was a little uneasy.

I don't want to meet the object of anxiety on my way back, that is, his father. He suddenly became shy and timid and didn't know how to face his father.

This is the first time to try to be free with sex. Young souls long for individuality and publicity, which is not the embodiment of vitality and freedom. Maybe you will encounter obstacles, maybe you will face choices, but how can you be called youth without publicity once?

Mother's ancestors were whalers, and this family seems to be inextricably linked with water. In the influence of whaling photographed by relatives, my mother captured her ten-year-old self for a few seconds. These short and precious seconds may be her only video recording about her childhood. Perhaps because of this, she wants to record the growth of children completely with images and capture their beauty like a whaler.

This seems to be another form of fetters and inheritance.

At the documentary screening ceremony, I was lucky enough to see this happy family of four. My parents are both film and television practitioners, and they have been filming for ten years, which makes this film not like a simple DV recording, but more artistic techniques and perspectives, and more poetic expression and description.

This is the truest childhood. There is no rehearsal, no actors, no script, only the recording of the camera.

My brother's graduation exam also put an end to the documentary. However, life has just begun, growth is still going on, time is still advancing, and only those interesting, stupid and beautiful young days have passed.
