This movie has a very good look and feel. Whether it is the screen splitting, or the music, the storytelling is very good. Each chapter uses an item from the Seligman family as an entry point, and then gives it a new meaning. If the first part is the growth history of the heroine, then the second part is the heroine's self-searching history. Unfortunately, I finally found it. When he realized himself, he was hit hard by reality. A few words in the story are particularly memorable: ①Every time a word is banned, it is shaking the cornerstone of democracy. In the face of difficult problems, using the method of banning is a manifestation of social incompetence. What society should promote is to pay attention to minority groups. . I think the society is as weak as the people, and the people are too stupid to have democracy. The essence of human beings is hypocrisy. ②In winter, we can see the soul of a tree. Similarly, in difficult situations, we can see a person's soul. ③Many pedophiles may not know their own sexual hobbies. Most pedophiles successfully suppress their desires and do not yield to their own desires. pain. Perverts hate the ones who actually hurt the kids. ④If you are a man, then all this becomes boring.

Seligman, who has never had sex, raped her under the knowledge of Joe's determination, always thinking that Seligman Mann is a gentleman who turns out to be nothing more than a beast and a sexist.

    Joe - 10 Years: It has two trunks.

    Joe's Father: Yeah, isn't it great? It shows itself to both sides, the lake and the forest.

    Joe - 10 Years: But, dad, how does a tree get two trunks?

    Joe - 10 Years: That means that you've been broken once. Have you, dad?

  • [opening narration for "The Gun"]

    Joe: Whether I left society or it left me, I cannot say. I suppose you can make an argument for both sides. I was on my way to the shady side of the debt collecting business, which, among other things, involved stuff like burning people's cars.
