The dead branches and the setting sun, the houses on the ruins, the barking wild dogs, the cold, basically colorless pictures, the whole movie feels cold.

Young siblings, deranged mothers, relatives who have blood but no affection, the heroine is helpless, and she is facing poverty, can't get enough to eat, her house is about to be repossessed, and there is no roof to cover her head. . . . She is only seventeen years old and underage. Even if she joins the army, she can get a reward of 10,000 yuan, and she must be signed by her guardian. She has no one to sign, and she can't worry about her 12- and 6-year-old younger siblings. . .

There is no other way, for the sake of her younger siblings and mother, she must find her father and go door to door to seek so-called relatives. In the end, she can only pull the arm of her father's corpse in the cold lake water in winter, and watch him not see it. Hands down, in exchange for the right of residence for yourself and your family. . .

What we see is strength, forbearance, ruthlessness, meaningless life and death, but in fact she is also fragile and desperate. Facing the almost demented mother, her eyes are full of tears and she asks: Mom, what should I do? Facing her friends, she had the idea of ​​giving up, and wanted to give her younger siblings to those who would adopt them. . .

I don't admire the heroine, I just feel that I often encounter problems, and even if there are many people around, they may not be able to help me. In most cases in this world, you live alone as an individual, facing endless accidents, shocks, thinking hard about countermeasures, making the worst plan in tears, no matter how afraid of the ending, as long as you still think To live, you have to face it. I don't think this is a manifestation of inner strength, but life is too helpless and necessary for survival.

    Ree: Why not?

    Gail: He never says why not to me, Ree, he just says no.

    Ree: Man, it's so sad to hear you say he won't let you do somethin' and then you *don't* do it.
