Maybe I'm a little extreme

My first impression of the opening remarks was: "Absolutely a wonderful movie." The first half is also true. It puts me in the midst of all the warmth and enjoys it; but when it comes to the middle and latter stages, in terms of the emotional development between the protagonist and the heroine, everything is very reasonable and a matter of course. Contrary to the ethics in my thoughts, it gave me a sense of guilt, especially the confounding smile of the male protagonist, which seemed to be a kind of contempt for feelings, until the incest plot appeared. At the time, I really couldn't sit still, and it also made me greatly discount this piece.

Dr. Wilbur Larch: Mm-hmm. She's dead now too. She was a nanny.

Dr. Wilbur Larch: She looks after other people's children.
