Soothing Mississippi

I've been in love with indie productions over the years because they're easier to make. Sure enough, the performance of the film did not disappoint.

A good film, from the very beginning, can communicate with the viewers. The quiet and gentle Mississippi River, in the depths of the hazy mist, a story - a life - a feeling is waiting for us...

The emotional foreshadowing in the film is in place, the discord between Ellis' parents, and the There was a brief and ignorant relationship with the girl that was not even a dewy relationship, which made the innocent little boy put all his hopes for love on Mud and Mud's lover. , go to the end of the world together. However, the reality of life is harsh and cruel. After that, the test of life and death made Ellis's mind grow. At the end of the film, Ellis smiled faintly at the girl next door, proving that he has let go of the past. He believes that there will always be chapters in life that are not going well. However, a new chapter will eventually unfold...

The character Mud actually grew up with Ellis, and was even touched by Ellis. He sees Ellis putting his life on the line to fulfill other people's love, which makes Mud have to re-examine the emotional reality between him and the woman, and whether it's worth Ellis to do so much for them. He felt ashamed, and finally he gave up this bad love and let go.

The friendship between Mud and the two boys is overflowing with the sincerity and simplicity of the Mississippi. This emotion has become precious and touching because it transcends the constraints of institutions and morals.

The life raised by the Mississippi River will inevitably throb, but it will eventually merge into the long, gentle Mississippi River affection.

The film feels free from hypocrisy and contrived, and the texture of the film is as delicate and inclusive as the Mississippi River.
