After watching the interview, I suddenly realized what I had vaguely felt before. This film is not only in the story, temperament, style, but also in processing, shaping, and expression. It has a deep relationship with Malik, and to a certain extent inherits the horse-style naturalism and hometown sentiment. According to the director, this long-planned work tries to show a kind of horse-like truth and nostalgia, and this kind of truth and nostalgia cannot be successfully grasped without real emotional precipitation. Nichols, I know very well what this precipitation is. Therefore, even the most common expressions, or the most realistic interpretations of children, can contain the most subtle feelings. This is the emotional resonance of Malick. , and most impressive. Compared with the publicity and deliberateness presented in "The Beast of the Southern Kingdom", it reveals a more calm and free will. In addition, as two scripts completed at the same time, "Seeking Asylum" and "Sludge" present completely different temperaments and two completely different themes. According to the director, these are the manifestations of his two different mentalities. One represents thinking about the present, the other represents nostalgia for the past; and we might as well consider this as his tribute to two film themes, one is Hitchcock-like sensitivity and worry, the other It is the simplicity and uninhibitedness of Malik. Therefore, I have high expectations for what Nichols, who has succeeded in inheriting the master's character and skillfully expressing his emotions, can bring us next.

    7.5 points. This film should be translated into "Mudd", right? MUD is a person's name, right? In the world of adults, children will never understand, but children will always grow up. An adult fugitive and the life of a restless teenager are linked together in a dramatic way, one is attacked by love, and the other also tastes the pain of love, which makes people sigh at the power of love. On the downside, it's a bit boring overall, and the ending is a bit slow.

    The main line of "Walk With Me", mixed with the emigration of "Beasts of the South", plus a family ethics and crime film is this movie. The subject of growth education is the most comfortable to shoot like this. The smiles of the two men at the end looked really heartwarming. ps: That big G (it seems to be custom) is a bit inconsistent.
