Life is a gorgeous robe full of lice.

Movies with a score below 8.0 are always a little bit weaker, and the three leading actors rely on their faces to pull the movie to the passing line, which is far less exciting than the one-man show of "The Martian".

My favorite plot is this: the male protagonist's family buys the zoo with high morale, but they have to face the old and cramped facilities, aging animals, expensive feed, etc. problems that cannot be solved with a passion. As Eileen Chang said: Life is a gorgeous robe full of lice. However, the solutions taken by the male protagonist to face these problems in the film just poured out all the power of the film, leaving only the undead in the name of love lingering. Therefore, the movie was made nondescript: in the name of love, he fell in love with someone else; in the name of struggle, his fighting power was not as good as that of his six- or seven-year-old daughter.
