Film Style: Flashbacks and Interludes.

Storyline: A young girl discovers that her uncle, who has been reunited for a long time, is a killer. When the uncle is about to kill her mother, the girl decisively shoots and kills her uncle. It's not so much a murder story, it's a wonderful inner drama.

Normally, when a girl finds out that her uncle has murdered, she panics. But the girl did not, but carefully observed her uncle's every move. Until the desire for revenge in his heart was completely stimulated, he finally shot and killed his uncle.

The desire to kill in the heart can be said to be ancestral. Originally, when my father taught the girl to hunt, he well vented the girl's violent genes. But when my father passed away, the violent gene in my heart had nowhere to vent, and it was just inspired by the neurotic uncle, and it turned into murder!

uncle in the movie

When you see your uncle, you will find that it is really a walking hormone.

So some people take it for granted as the story of uncle and loli. But the emotional line in the film is very hazy, and the director has no intention to spy on the girl's emotional line.

So it is better understood as a story about "violence, catharsis and restraint". After watching, deepen the understanding of human nature. Violence is a process from restraint to outburst.
