The elephant is invisible

The night gave me black eyes, and I used them to find darkness. It has such a bright poster, but the content is the exact opposite. Like a pool of stagnant water falling in my heart, it echoes from the distant place. The movie has no plot, just follows the children around the campus, through light and shadows and deep corridors. A stalemate, uneasy, until the two boys planned the bloody case with great calmness. The beautiful boy and the beautiful girl survived the murder, is it because of a kiss? The handsome photographer smiled and pressed the shutter, then blood splattered on the spot. The boy with the gun could never figure out why he died at the hands of his taciturn companion.

The director stuffed all possible explanations into it: bullying, gaming, homosexuality... but none of them worked out in the end. No one can blame, and in the end, only a gloomy, can only blame the cruel youth.
