I think families find a dynamic that works for them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm endlessly fascinated with the ways families work and the ways they don't.
Families in real life don't tend to resolve things neatly.
The family has a social function and so it should be sustained.
Family is this very deep, complex thing that for most people becomes everything. It informs your entire life.
To me, families are puzzles that take a lifetime to work out - or not, as often is the case - and I like to explore how people within them try to connect, be it through love, duty, or circumstance.
Family dynamics are true over time, across generations and different cultures.
We live in a world of shifting values. The family is falling apart. Parents failing in what they ought to do.
Families, particularly, tend to be the ones that you take the most for granted. They seem to slip under the radar, all those important things - it almost becomes second nature to do so.
Every family is dysfunctional.
I think every family is dysfunctional, and some manage to control it better than others.
