The father is the focal point of the play, but never appears in the end. Only his daughter took his hands away. This film is more about the struggle of human nature, from the indifference of relatives to Lei at the beginning, the beating to the end to provide help. This principle of blood is thicker than water was on the verge of being overthrown several times, but finally succumbed to the brilliance of human nature.
There are 2 scenes in the film that left a deep impression on me. One is that Lei dreamed of a squirrel after taking painkillers and barely fell asleep. It was like an apocalypse that helped her solve the problem that her mother didn't want to help her choose. Another is that Lei pulled her father's body in the water and didn't dare to see her father's hands being sawed off by a chainsaw. After sawing one hand, there was still another hand. Although she was sawing a dead man's hand, it was her father's hand. , as if sawing his own pain.
There is no doubt that Lei is strong. But in the final look at the teardrops on her face, she could see that she didn't want to endure it either. In this world, these pains should always be borne by strong men, and for a woman who is not old enough to join the army, what she has experienced is not her choice. It's been cold this winter, and it's been cold this year. The days after Lei may be colder.
