The Return (of children possibly scarred for life) from a Wonderful Fishing Trip!

Great. Now I'd like to call my parents and tell them I appreciate them.
When I think of this movie, I think of blue and lots of it. There's blue hue that overs the whole screen for the entire film. Either a blue filter or it's just done digitally. I don't think St. Petersburg isn't that blue in real life. After all, it can be Sepia sometimes. Hahaha, it changes along to the mood. It's a magic town. But not really.
It could be possible that without the blue hue over it, I could still think blue because of the immense amount of water. Water, blue sky, rain, dark clouds, and storms. This movie is so nautical!
First off, I just need to get one thing out of the way. The Father is Jesus. Well, at least, he resemble an exact painting of Jesus Christ(at least I'm sure it's Jesus) I've seen. It's a painting where he's like lying on a bed in sheets. It's unique because of the perspective, which shows his feet in front and they look big because of the realistic perspective. That's just how the father looked when we first see him. THEN when he's lying in the boat, he looks just like it again! YOU CAN'T FOOL ME ZVYAGINTSEV.
This father is far from Jesus. So, so far. Arguing with the fathers intentions is....pointless. You see, to me, I see him being nice...and then...not, for obvious reasons. Sometimes I see the Father simply teaching the boys to be men, and grow. Examples of this include the caught thief, the rowing of the boat, and the stuck car. With this, he teaches the boys to capture the ones who have wronged them, using their muscles despite how weak they are, and how to get out of mud when stuck. Their failed attempts frustrate him as Ivan and Andrei are not what he expects and maybe...could blame himself for their weakness. He has been absent, so they have no male role model. Just themselves.
But the father is TOO frustrated, and is highly abusive and he's not getting the award for the father of the year. While Ivan is also at fault due to his complaining. Now I'm not saying that he deserves to get stranded in the rain, but it's not as if they haven't done anything. The Father is much, much too extreme.
With this film, I got much less excited when I heard of the Father. I feel like we've watched a lot of films with a terrible, parent or husband. Guardians who have left the main characters at times in their life or they are just awful and cause conflict or argument. Examples: Little Vera- Drunken, stabbing father, Moscow does not believe in Tears - Rudolph, Mirror - The Father, Brother - the husband to the older woman. And if that's true in Russian life, then I'll shut up.
The father on the trip is doing something that we are totally unsure of. For some reason, the object he took out of the chest looked like a battery, for like...the motor. I thought that was a really smart idea! But no, a battery like that wouldn't go into a motor.
The result of their Father's death makes them stronger. As they carry him into the boat. Few lines that they say are repeat from their fathers such as "little hands." It seems to me this words really stuck.
Also, I really liked those photographs at the end.
