sacrifice to the law of excess

There seems to be a rule that something that has been looked forward to for a long time, once truly enjoyed, is mostly disappointing. For example, this one is a casual little film that provides more surprises.
As a blockbuster that has won a bunch of Oscars, it also confirms the tendency of Oscar's excessive marketization. All I can say is, it's average. The problem is not the acting, they are all very good, the old doctor, Homer, a dry child, and even the vase Theron are all very good, but the plot involves too much span, and the little doctor runs away and falls in love with a friend, wife, boyfriend, paralyzed by war, and then broke up like this Whether the plot is too formatted, and whether the addition of the plot of the incestuous daughter of the old black comrade is too bizarre, in short, most of the time, it is a flat and warm film, but in terms of director ambition, the performance is not pure. It should be said.
