For those of you who can experience the taste

I didn't want to write a review, it was a waste of time. I'm not a film major, and I don't have the patience to pull films frame by frame, so I'm naturally unprofessional compared to other film critics.

It's just that someone like me who just sees it and forgets it has to find this way to remember this movie. I just saw that so many people in the short comment area gave two stars with their arms crossed and said, "I really don't understand, bad movie!" I felt so angry.

People who didn't grow up in such a negative energy home don't know the taste. The film begins with the old gentleman's monologue, "live is so long". When the scene turns, it is an Indonesian woman. She just came to the house to be a nanny. Violet's voice came. The picture appeared, she had short hair, an unorganized face, and she spoke in a spirited manner, looking like she had taken medicine. She used all her words to be mean to the Aboriginal woman. People who don't know it think that this is her character, bitter and mean.

I described the first scene so carefully because I was still thinking about this beginning after watching the entire film.
"live is so long" and her mean scenes. Violet said she was just standing on the moral high ground. She didn't say he didn't say it. They never discuss. But Violet sneered at him in every similar scene like this. Looking back, it is clear at a glance that that incident did not stop for a second. It was like a fish bone that could not be melted, exuding rotten gas, in the throat, and never dissipated. So that every time violet speaks, he can breathe out the breath that cannot digest the past.

The children came back one by one. Barbara's temperament is hard as soon as it appears, without all the softness of women. The mother hugged her, the mother said, you are your father's favorite person, but you left, you let him down. Ivy was standing in the kitchen, expressionless. After they finished speaking, the two came in and met each other, but neither of them said anything. Presumably these preferences have worn away Ivy's pride in the past, and she just silently admitted, accepted, and couldn't escape. Bearing the responsibilities given by everyone, but not getting everyone's attention and favor.

The mother takes medicine, and Barbara appears to stop it. It's not that violet has never seen such a scene. She knows everyone's itches and secrets. She knew where the keys were, and she knew where the locks were. She said that I had oral cancer and you didn't come back. You came back as soon as your father left. She said I took medicine and my mouth hurt. She looked hurt. She knew that she couldn't win a fight with barbara, so it would be different if she changed her stance. She knows how to deal with everyone. It's just that she doesn't want to, and she doesn't want to see Hele. This is not what life entrusted to her, and she also wants to retaliate against the world with the same attitude. When she doesn't want to please, she just says, "who is supposed to smoke."
