Many comments before said it was dull, gloomy, etc. After watching it, I didn't feel that way at all. Isn't this more like a performance art film? It depicts the process of a person's inner numbness, shattering, and rebuilding, and came up with the book "Reconstruction of Life". Most of the male protagonists in this film have no expressions. Even if the wife dies, it seems that there is no way to cry out, and the emotions are all inward. Laughing is better than crying, crying is better than being numb, and having emotions will release people more humanely. The male protagonist also started to focus on "events" and gradually turned to "people", which is more worthy of our consideration in today's mobile Internet era.
