Washington, come out and tell me exactly what you mean

People will find reasons for themselves in the face of choice, is the sense of responsibility completely enough? It is irresponsible to make a decision in the first place with the hope of being responsible. Troy's three views are not correct, or to be more precise, the three views in his mind and mouth are okay, which may be educated or learned by himself, but the set of rules in his heart is slightly different, So he always feels that he is giving, but he forgets what other people are giving and takes what he gets for granted, so he always takes advantage of somebody else. He always says You got to take the crookeds with the straights. Unfortunately, the opposite is true .

The end seems to be a little tribute to Troy, and Cory seems to be somewhat relieved after listening to Rose's total acceptance theory? If this is really what the whole film agrees to support, I can only say, well, maybe my three views need to be fine-tuned.

After watching it, I was also thinking about what place should I give this movie. As far as itself, it is complex enough to cause thinking. Of course, every viewer can find out the values ​​they agree with according to their own experience and understanding, but Do the ideas that the film promotes or seems to promote affect the evaluation of the film? In the end I think: yes. Of course, some people can also say that the beam of sunshine is a satire for everyone. I can't say for sure, because it seems that praising such a value orientation is not in line with the consistent judgment of modern Europeans and Americans, but in turn, it describes the complexity of life. There seems to be nothing wrong with the helplessness of choice, and the back and forth are endless. :)

Without the constraints of beliefs and laws, will people be vulnerable in the face of desire? I feel that on the contrary, the inner view of good and evil and the pursuit of fairness are the ones who are accountable to themselves and do not harm others. Otherwise, it will become a two-faced person who feels that he has paid countless and self-pity.

    The adaptation of a stage play has too many traces, and with the addition of chatty lines, it is basically a bit overwhelming after an hour, and adapting it as a film-style method is still difficult and thankless, but the actors' deep and introverted interpretation techniques, but Let the emotions of the story be unreservedly set off, the characters can be sublimated three-dimensionally, the breath of life is strong, and all the beauty and helplessness of life can be soaked in it. I admire the hero and heroine's line skills, which are extremely smooth and natural.

    One star for Olvera's performance, one star for the original's lines, and one star for the ending. If I could cut out the rambling dialogue in the first half and add some framing, photography, soundtrack, and even psychological excess, I would give it five stars. It's a pity that only the ingenuity and sharpness of those dialogues, as well as a large section of performances, were filmed.
