The story in this film tells a story that happened in God's Pocket, a dilapidated industrial town in the United States. It tells the story of the couple's children in the small town after their children died violently. People and things.
The whole film begins with the funeral ceremony. The camera shows the main characters in the small town who attended the ceremony in the church, and then flashbacks the storyline to let the audience understand the cause of the child’s death, the reason...

This film reflects the life of the middle and lower classes in the United States. The 60-year-old Jiang Lang is just an old reporter. The attitude towards this small town has long been formed. He believes that the people in this small town are dirty and barbaric, full of contempt, but he is better than anyone else. Dirty, sex with young women, sex with married women, neither like work nor compassionate, but the lower-class people he looks down on, but the soul is holy, donated more than $1,000...

Both the reporter and the son’s cause of death can be cut off. The former is too prose, while the latter puts at the beginning to wipe out the audience’s emotions. Whether the cause of death is explained or not is not necessarily related to the subsequent plot, as long as Just confess that your son is dead. The director's effort should be on how to slowly unravel the theme of the title with suspense. Because watching movies in this way is more natural and more suitable for the play of movie...

[first lines]
Richard Shellburn: [narrating] The working men of God's Pocket are simple men. They work. They follow their teams. They marry and have children who rarely leave the Pocket. Everyone here has stolen something from somebody else... Or when they were kids, they set someone's house on fire... Or they ran away when they should have stayed and fought. They know who cheats at cards and who slaps their kids around. And no matter what anybody does, they're still here. And whatever they are is what they are. The only thing they can't forgive is not being from God's Pocket.

Richard Shellburn: [writing] Until recently, you only had to die once in this city... even if you came from God's Pocket. There was a time when a 23-year-old working man could die once, have the event noticed in his local newspaper, and then move on to his reward without the complications of an additional death. Leon Hubbard's death was reported incorrectly by this newspaper last week. But, then, Leon Hubbard wasn't important.
Richard Shellburn: Leon Hubbard was like the other working people of God's Pocket: dirty-faced, uneducated, neat as a pin inside. They work, marry, and have children who inhabit the Pocket, often in the homes of their mothers and fathers. They drink at The Hollywood, or the Uptown Bar, little places deep in the city. And they argue there about things they don't understand... politics, race, religion. And in the end, they die like everyone else; leaving their families and their houses and their legends. And there is a dignity in that. We owe Leon Hubbard an apology, and all the people who knew him and loved him and worked with him. If we stop listening to Leon Hubbard's story and all the neighborhood stories like it, eventually the neighborhoods will stop listening to ours.
