Tumblr's limit of 12 options means it's hard to include options for complicated relationships with one's family, so vote for whatever most closely approximates your situation.
Anon noticed specific patterns regarding opinions on seasons together with familial relationships, so they have taken this to tumblr for that. Thank you for your participation!

thinking about seasonal writing cycles—how human the experience to be stunned by a realization you’ve made each year, feeling as though it’s the first.

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring (2003)
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring is a tranquil, meditative, zen movie. Some of the segments in this anthology are a little hard to grok if you’re unfamiliar with Buddhism, but for the most part, it’s accessible and, in its own way, thought-provoking.
The story is split into 5 segments and chronicles the life and changes within a young Buddhist monk (played alternatively by Kim Jong-ho, Seo Jae-kyeong, Kim Young-min, and Kim Ki-duk) living on a small floating monastery with his master (played by Young-soo Oh). Each segment takes place during a crucial point in the young monk’s life and during the respective season each segment is named after.
This picture offers an insightful look into Buddhism without spelling it out for you. The events we see can be funny, sad, erotic, or tense, but it’s all about the journey, the way you can trace the changes within this one person step-by-step. It’s about the way the young monk’s actions have or don’t have consequences. The film speaks (without saying it out loud) about the meaning of life and the part we all play in the world, but never feels like a lesson. Each segment simply asks you to make what you wish out of it. The way they all fit as sequels to each other, and then the way it ties itself up is terrific. It's an original and fascinating approach to the subject.
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring is not the kind of film that necessitates big discussions with your group of friends. There's no need to dissect the meaning of that item in the first segment or that one line that makes someone do a double-take in another. Everything is made quite clear. At the same time, it’s not an obvious movie. I suppose the best way to describe it is as zen teaching. If you haven’t heard it before, it seems completely out of reach. Once you’ve been exposed, it makes so much sense that “obvious” doesn’t feel like the right word. It’s just so true that you want to say “of course!” With that said, it may be a good idea to watch it with a group in case some of the customs shown are foreign to you. It’s not symbolism that’s impenetrable to all but the most researched of scholars, it’s that you’ll get more out of it if you understand what is happening. Instead of wondering why a character did that or why this thing is done in that way, you'll be able to focus on the atmosphere conjured by the story.
I can’t easily think of another film like Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring. I didn’t love it immediately after, but thinking about it now, it feels like a spiritual journey. It's nice to have the option of a "lifetime" of enlightenment all nicely packaged in a 103-minute film with subtitles. (Original Korean with English subtitles, April 14, 2017)
