Bob Sweeney: This racist propaganda, this "Mein Kampf" psychobabble; he learned this nonsense, Murray, and he can unlearn it too. I will not give up on this child yet.

Character Evaluation
The careful selection of actors may be the crux of director John Selvidge's not "prolific", it is his "harshness" that formed his unique style of film art
. In the movie "Detachment", director John Selvidge innovatively used hand-held documentary shooting and flashback techniques to express the storyline, creating a textured picture and fragmented collages, leading the audience into the heart of the film characters and showing a Really repressed emotional world
. At the same time, he also showed a variety of fragmented lives and a desperate and indifferent social environment, reflecting director Kaye's thinking and feelings related to existentialism. The story of the film itself is not complicated, and the lens language used by the director Kaye is not obscure, but the film can give people a shock and depression that is difficult to relax .
