Beth's Fall in Love
Jeffrey 2022-04-21 09:02:34
How naive and cruel is Beth's love's demise. Like an angel going to hell. This movie is an elegy, sad on the surface, but inside it reveals the cruelty and ignorance of the human heart. How great is a man of faith. Each chapter of the movie has a theme and a song, which is very appropriate. She is innocent, she is sweet, she is sad, she misses, she struggles, she suffers, she is firm, she prays. All I can say is that this actress's acting is very good. The two big bells in the sky at the end of the movie rang for her for a long time.
