    Character Evaluation

    The story of the movie "Winter's Bone" is confusing   and confusing . Director Debra Granik pays attention to the bleak and self-improving daily life of ordinary people in small towns   . Her realistic portrayal techniques have allowed many American audiences to see a strange and strange American society around them . 
    In the movie "Leave No Trace", director Debra Granik used his meticulous presentation of emotions to reflect the tolerance of kindness, the preciousness of independence, the preciousness and sadness of love   . The film has no obvious dramatic conflict and plot tension in the narrative, but the feelings outlined in the details of life are very delicate   . Moreover, in this film, she uses a slow-release method of dripping the paper surface, showing a trace of the separation of values ​​and worldviews between father and daughter .
