The director presents the whole film in a stage-style scene, which is very special. Everyone's actions are fully displayed on a flat space, and the door is opened and closed without physical performance.
The first half makes people feel warm. At first, the residents of Dogtown were vigilant because of Grace's arrival, and it was an invasion-like resistance from outsiders. But Grace's two weeks of kind help changed the residents. Those 15 bells were the pinnacle of the best harmony between the residents and Grace. If Grace left at that time, maybe Dogtown would be one of her fondest memories. , Dogtown is barren but everyone tries their best to live better. Simple Grace was moved by the simple town in her eyes.
The turning point is when the police put up a second wanted notice, and Dogtown's image of Grace has changed from a beautiful runaway being chased to a bank robber who might be able to exchange money. The lure of money and the high hat of self-righteousness made people start to pick on, test, and flirt with Grace. It seems that they are at ease, because this is the reward for their "protection" of Grace, and this is Grace "owes" them. of. The townspeople are indeed doing their best to live, and they are also seeking benefits. Human nature is inherently good, or human nature is inherently evil, and it has been discussed all the time, and I am biased towards the latter. Most of the good people are because of acquired education, environment and experience.
Grace's life began to fall into the abyss. Can no one save her? I don't think so, Tom. If Tom is brave enough, upright enough, enough, love Grace.
Tom's presence also made me think of a messenger of justice at first, and he was especially cute when he stuttered and admitted that he was in love with Grace, and here I am already thinking about what life will be like after they talk to each other.
However, the truth is that Tom doesn't love Grace as much as he says, he just loves a gentle, kind and beautiful admirer who can understand his own thoughts, support himself, and be rescued by himself. Grace told Tom several times about the strange behavior of the residents of Dogtown towards her, such as the old lady scolding her for crossing the jungle shortcut that the residents would cross, and the blind old man touching her knee. Tom did not feel that there was any problem. What's wrong, he said I chose you Grace, but the subconscious and the residents of Dogtown are in the same camp.
The piece of paper with the number written on it was never lost. It was also because of his revelations that Dogtown put a heavy chain on the so-called "money thief" Grace, so that more people came to rape and humiliate and could not resist and Grace is moving, but he still pretends to be love Generally, really disgusting, a downright hypocrite.
After being exposed by Grace, it was him who thought that he could use that number to exchange Grace for a huge reward and share it with the residents of Dogtown. What he has been doing is to get the recognition and worship of everyone in Dogtown. Grace is just his self-realization and expression. The tool man of ego is just a character who can be written into his novels. Tom organized several important dog town residents' meetings, and he has been driving the development of the plot.
Maybe after the gunshots, Grace crossed the mountain a little faster, and Tom would not find out what happened next.
At the end, I can't take my eyes off Nicole's prosperous beauty.
