混蛋科林，新年快乐

A new year's party was organised by the biggest son Colin Burstead in the name of family, calling back together the elder parents on the edge of bankruption, the couple of Sister Gini who invites secrety behind the big brother the little brother, excluded from the family because of his past misbehavior, and other extended family members.

What interest us as a posthuman bombarded by diversified value and alienated from the spirit of nucleus family, is the intention of the above mentioned family to attend the new year celebration. The elder parents, who now suffer from the economic problem, want to secure a loan from their son. That is to say, the father and the mother, who used to be the pillar and authority of the family, now is the empty position that unites the family and seeks the refillment. This is in stark contrast with the long past center-oriented family where the parents radiates the influence outwards toward the family member. When the expectation of the elder parent meets with the refusal of the big son, it breaks the nerves of the father, and he was irritated and confused by the son's execuse of helping by not helping. It seems to rebulid the authority of the father is a impossible task, impossible to fill this empty position.

The organizer, the big brother, hosts the party, but busies himself with the party chores without greeting the long-parted family member. He is very indifferent towards his mother's stmbling over the thresthold, and sees this as an ominous sign of the dysfunction of the celebration and even the family. He is nervous, extremely, reflected by three eruption of psychological troubles. At the beginning before the setoff, he is nervous because of the expectation to see the family, which remains cut off but always on his mind. That is, when the empty place, empty but essential, is going to be occupied by some guests. It cause his breakdown. The second breakdwon happens during the party after he confronted his little brother at the urge of the dad, shouted out the disastifation towards the little brother in front of all the family members and told him to leave. He needs some adjustment to return back to normal, to the normal without the appearnce of someone in the empty seat. The third moment is after the early leaving, and he need some gesture to exclude the family completely from the seat by shout out 'fuck them' at the sea.

The sister wants a sense of family and also feels fair for her mother and the littler brother to meet again after five years apart. She knew what would happen but just acted without any precaution or intervention. She just want to see what will happen.

The elder parents, the big brother, and the sister represents three ways to restore the family concentration and the lost oneness: This sister is a romantic escaper who wants to restore the family togetherness without anyone missing, while she does not know what went wrong and what she can do with it. What she has done is to take one in and push the other one out, blaming the big brothers after he confronted the mishaviored by saying that you are right does not mean your way of doing it is right.
