than the first one. The first part was entirely about Joe's personal experience, and in the second part she became a symbol, a point of view. The plot of the second part does not serve the characters, but rather the characters serve the point of view, and the point of view drives the plot. When it comes to mirrors, it is not Joe that is reflected in the mirror in the picture, but the camera. Is it Joe sitting in the room, or the director himself? Is Joe just a collection of the director's views rather than a real character? This makes the story of the second part unattractive, even a little far-fetched. Plus, the way the second film was shot even ran out of light like that room that was gradually devoid of interesting things to discuss. The ultimate expression of sight, hearing, touch, and smell in the first part no longer exists. I don't have much problem with the finale, but the part before the finale confuses me. Jerome has always been a scumbag, but what is his charm? P is obviously too smart to be a plaything for men, or even a tool for punishing Joe. 2020.05.22 Second brush

    Joe's Father: This is my tree.

    Joe - 10 Years: It's not an ash tree.

    Joe's Father: No, it's an oak tree.

    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's Father: The most common reason is that the top broke when it was very young.

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

    Joe's Father: [long pause] It seems that it can be rather revealing... to find your soul tree.

  • [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.
