The story is good, but overall it's boring. I don't think the pacing of the film is very good, and it doesn't make a special impression. Du Du likes the things that are not revealed to themselves. The old man murdered the little girl. After he missed it, he was blocked in a corner where there was no way to escape. He poured corrosive liquid on his face, and finally pulled out the oxygen tube with a face full of holes. Let the girl drain the blood and fall downstairs. From beginning to end, they didn't explain their relationship in a single word, but the girl's gentle stroking of the old man's face was enough to explain everything. So at the end of the movie, when Oscar sits in the sun-warmed car, talking to Ellie in the suitcase via Moscow code, I feel very, very sad. This is the same great reincarnation between different people, Oscar will also become the old man from before, no longer talk to other people, kill people and let blood, and finally die tragically.
All these complex tragedies point to the theme of love. Here, lonely and helpless souls find support, they get the greatest satisfaction from each other, they use each other, and they gradually become inseparable like lips and teeth. Then close yourself, numb yourself, comfort yourself, and make yourself feel happy no matter how horrible and deformed it is. The personality that has been distorted and distorted requires a different sense of security and a steady stream of hallucinations to soothe.
Love is always so simple and so thorough.
