The story is simple, plain and very rigorous - Xiali's casual sentence "You had a heart attack last year", which also makes the ending resentful but logical, and because of this, the film has achieved the ultimate in emotional appeal: fast cut The contrasting application of cut and slow motion, the alternation of cool and warm tones, the classical soundtrack, the accumulation of details, and the excellent performance, these elements exist beyond the story itself.

"There are few moments in my life that are so absolutely clear. In these few seconds, the silence is silent." This kind of ending is also good.

George: Let's leave the Jews out of this just for a moment. Let's think of another minority. One that... One that can go unnoticed if it needs to. There are all sorts of minorities, blondes for example... Or people with freckles. But a minority is only thought of as one when it constitutes some kind of threat to the majority. A real threat or an imagined one. And therein lies the fear. If the minority is somehow invisible, then the fear is much greater. That fear is why the minority is persecuted. So, you see there always is a cause. The cause is fear. Minorities are just people. People like us.
