It is no exaggeration to say that the director used a lot of exaggeration in the film. Suthya's life is simply perfect. She is beautiful, kind, brave and innocent. Although she is not very wealthy, she has a harmonious family and a harmonious family. At this time, she is in adolescence and is feeling the beauty of love in its bud; she also saved her life. Brother, her grandmother said that she would live a long life for this... This "exaggeration" foreshadowing is creating a strong contrast for the tragedy of her subsequent murder, not to mention that these are the "dead" Susia through narration Let me tell you, this has a more tear-jerking appeal. After entering the "third space", Jackson has another free play: Enya MTV-style blue sky, sea, forest and wheat fields (you can see her music works Watermark, and Caribbean blue, etc.), time and space in spring and autumn, Computer game-like animations and even a water kiosk from the movie Heroes. We were so dazzled that we followed Suthya on the long road to this paradise, and at the same time followed Suthya on the road of revenge.
There is also a wonderful exaggeration in the movie that is the description of the grandmother who came to help take care of it. The role of Susan Saradon is absolutely unexpected: this grandmother is not a "relative" of "Or Yubei" at all, but a "other person" of "Yiyige". ". She drank and smoked, had unkempt hair, messed with housework, and completely subverted the audience's inherent expectations with the image of a grandmother who looked like an "old prostitute". In a sense, Jackson is gradually healing the audience's perennial Hollywood stereotypes. This is just the beginning...
So there are many more clichéd questions: Why did my sister hesitate to get the evidence of the crime when she almost died, not wanting to spoil the joy of her parents' reunion, but also dodging before handing it over to her grandmother one time? Why did Suthya put herself in Ruth before she was about to enter heaven, instead of asking for the murderer to be brought to justice, but only to seek a heartfelt relationship with her first love? Why isn't the culprit brought to justice immediately, and he has the opportunity to continue to harm others... Of course, this time it won't be successful. There are many questions that entangle the hearts of the audience when watching the movie, especially the revenge full of revenge that has gone through a long road of revenge seems to disappear in the last half hour of the movie. Jackson is also testing the audience's patience, as Jim Jarmusch did in "The Limits of Control."
When you are watching this movie, you need a new investment, even if you have been dizzy by this gorgeous soul world, and you are still burned by the murderous heart like Suthiya's father, you need to Be patient and continue to appreciate the wonders of Jackson. Although the movie still has a "conventional" ending after more than two long hours: it is not hatred, but love that makes the soul rest in peace; the murderer will naturally have retribution, it is not that he does not repay, the time has not yet come; Such is the case.”
