    An accident, everyone chose a different way to avoid it. But the lawyer who broke in by accident wanted to find out these things again, to fulfill a wish that he didn't know whether it was public or private. What happened to the world, we don't know what our children, angel-like children are thinking, what to do next. Is it. So a lot of times, we just learn to hide more secrets....

    Excellent in every way. But the lie at the end of the script is not good for the female driver-the lie should be blamed on the accident-in the end, the female driver doesn't seem to be held accountable, which is somewhat...

    Egoyan is so talented, he can make the narrative methods that I hate less annoying, such as flashbacks, such as omniscient perspective... The interspersed "Pied Piper of Hamelin" is the key to understanding the film's clues , Nicole is the cripple who doesn't follow the piper in the fairy tale. Why lawyer Steven is so devoted to the case is explained by his relationship with his daughter. As for the reason for his failure of spiritual inspiration, there is room for...

    The story was originally very simple. It had to be filled with a MV-style style with a lot of beautiful airscapes and ecstatic soundtracks, much like the style of literary youth, but no matter how fancy parallel editing, it couldn’t be like the masters. In the same way, the really exciting spirit overexaggerated the emotions, but forgot to put the logic of the story in more detail. Why is a selfless and kind lawyer who goes to the side of the sword for someone else's daughter, but is cowardly...

    Igoyan's films always have mixed feelings, and when you want to sum up in one or two sentences, you can't find the right sentence. Maybe it's multiple protagonists, maybe it's because of multiple lines that interpret the theme. I think it was more that I was sucked so deeply into the world of this small town that the sadness and entanglement of those characters merged and your words disappeared. A good movie, I was not a fan of emotional movies like this, but this one made me experience the...

    Atom Egoyan, 1997. How long has it been since you watched a movie? This counts as one. A good story with a different meaning wrapped in...

    Definitely better than "The Eel" of the same year. It's about the self-healing, objectivity, and incomprehensibility of some kind of giant silent thing, and this muddy feeling of using a car accident and a lawyer to tell is undoubtedly a wonderful design. At the beginning, the lawyer was trapped in the washroom, and at the end, the girl looked at the light out of the window. Igo Young made a swamp-like movie, which is the secret and humor hidden under the heavy snow cover in the north of North...
