There is no absolute justice, but there is immortality

Delicate, carefully crafted. Justice, politics, justice, revenge, love, friendship... all kinds of elements are mixed in the two-hour movie, the oil painting-like picture, the method of cross-narrative, and the amazing stroke of the suspense ending, it is very beautiful. The quality is in the top three of the Spanish movies I've seen.

There are many places where people sigh faintly in the film, but there are also moments of knowing smiles. Those who are accustomed to watching Hollywood-made packages may wish to change their appetites with this film. The rhythm is slightly slower, but it does not hinder the introduction of feelings.

But what touched me the most was the line: No sé si será la justicia, pero es una justicia. (The charm of different languages ​​can be seen here. In Spanish, you only need to replace the definite article with the indefinite article. The meaning of the expression needs to be explained in the translation. Similarly, our idioms are concise and meaningful, and they often lose their flavor when they are translated into foreign languages.) I know that absolute justice does not exist, at least in a class society, but I heard this The lines are still sighing, and it seems that it is inevitable to be a little angry from time to time~

The design of the missing A is really ingenious.

    Only movies can ask the question of whether life is empty or not. In reality, this little bit of sincerity is buried in the slightest, and no one remembers where it went. With a bright and beautiful life on the surface, who cares if it is empty? This drama is so heavy, love and hate have the same deadly power.

    The case was solved unexpectedly, the method of extracting a confession was bizarre, and the final outcome was bizarre! A very distinctive film.
