This movie is a rather slow movie that contains a lot of, what seems like, never-ending silences. It starts off in the pool and the entire movie, and the decisions made by the characters really revolve around a pool. The father loves working at the pool and claims it is his life. But at one point his son ends up replacing him as the life guard and he is moved to the gate guard. This triggers his silence and eventually, the son is taken by the army and is drafted and the father does nothing to try and stop it. I believe this was out of greed and selfishness. The father let his son be taken so that he would get his life guard job back and to me that is ridiculous. I think this because later in the movie he regrets his decision and claims that he was wrong. He goes to save his son but he is greatly injured and on the ride back he dies. I didn't like this movie very much but the messages that are given are strong ones.
