For most viewers, this is a good and not bad story. It has the fun of a children’s adventure film, the fear of a thriller and a suspense film, and it has a gradual revealing of deep love pulses, allowing the audience to spontaneously substitute the hero of the film, the 14-year-old boy Ellis, with a smooth and smooth narrative. From the perspective, he, who is ignorant, sees love, believes in love, and is disappointed in love. "People need to learn how to love slowly. In my life, love mentors always appear at some lucky moments. These people are not just passing by in my life track, but intentionally or unconsciously, generously giving me The valuable advice needed. Of course, not all advice is correct, but among them, the most precious experience often comes from the failure experience of the person concerned." It is this careful search for precious failure experience that makes Jeff Nichols made this "Mud" filled with the mist of the Mississippi River.
The theme of this film is love, love that does not ask for anything in return, but it is more about how we should bear the inseparable love and get out of this love unharmed. If we look at love through the eyes of a teenager, maybe It will be more interesting.
