The slower the pain response, the more uncomfortable it is

I watched the Tencent video, and the narrative technique at the beginning won my heart.

As the plot deepened, I thought of "The Life of the Disgusted Matsuko" and "Revolutionary Road". A childhood full of homosexuality, middle-aged women who are "addicts", and aristocratic parents who have lost their daughters. And of course the protagonist, Jack, vaguely remembers the young face in "Death Illusion."

When the pain of widowhood, like the echoes rebounding from the abyss, tore Jack's heart more and more violently layer by layer, Jack's slow love slowly came. Beside his wife's tombstone, he mistakenly believed that the driver who caused the accident was the forgiveness of the child's father, and got a love note in the car. Jack finally felt pain and deep love after so long.

At 7:30, Jack woke up, got on the Porsche, and got on the merry-go-round. His wife became a scar. What he thought he didn't love turned out to be so deep.

    Davis: You say fuck a lot.

    Chris: So?

    Davis: So you're just not using it properly.

    Chris: The fuck does that mean?

    Davis: That's what I mean. Fuck is a great word, but if you use it too much then it just loses its value and you sound stupid.

    Chris: Fuck you.

    Davis: Exactly. I feel nothing and you sound like an idiot. Have a good one.
