How can it be translated into sludge?

Seriously suspect that this is another story about how a man returns to himself and reconciles with his father after experiencing a woman without a core of self. The first one I'm referring to is 1972's "solaris".

Zizek's description of "solaris" in "The Perverted Film Guide" can be copied: "What makes "Solaris" so moving is that it, at least potentially, confronts us with the tragic subject position of women .His wife understands that she has no coherence, no complete existence of self,...she is only the fulfillment of his dream. Her expression of love for him is a desperate and constant attempt to obliterate her own existence, To make room, because she guessed that was what he wanted.... Here we see, the lowest myth, that women do not exist per se, that women are merely a man's fantasy, or even is a product of man's guilt. Women exist only because men's desires become impure; if men purify their desires and remove the filth, women/fantasies cease to exist. At the end of the film, there is A sacred exchange, not his reconciliation with his wife, but his reconciliation with his father."

The same is true for the end of Mud, with the reconciliation of two fathers and sons, and the enchanting view of the infinite expanse of the river.

Although I am calm and stable, I can completely draw a line from the heroine with borderline personality disorder, but I still advise you sons: Yes, please don't believe in love, don't believe in women.

PS, that baby-like chiffon white top makes Mud very denim-like~

    A very ingenious script, which examines love, morality, good and evil, and helplessness in the adult world from the perspective of a child, and eventually grows up. The characters are well-built, the emotional foreshadowing is subtle but turbulent, and the scenery is poetic and music-like, infecting the audience. The only regret is that the rhythm is too slow, and watching the film requires meditation. ★★★

    Both the emotional aspects of the story and the technical aspects of the script are superb.
