Some personal thoughts

It really has the characteristics of Jingani (because I watched "Leeds and the Blue Bird" first and then this one, just because they are the original cast, there are some comparisons) Both of them are atmosphere-related, compared to the implicit one. Aesthetics, this one tries to point out the background of the story and the psychology of the characters through flashbacks, but maybe due to the deletion, you have to watch the barrage explanation to get a little understanding...

I've heard people say "the plot of this film is outrageous" before, but some plots do remind me of self-loathing and redemption, which are quite resonant. (In my opinion the final reunion is more like a reconciliation with the previous character) (although it is indeed a bit indescribable)

The style of Oxtail's soundtrack is too distinct. The minimalist technique + piano/electric steel/xylophone with crisp and percussive timbres match the subtle atmosphere.

But it seems that the split before and after this film is indeed a bit (not the character development, but the way of expression, which is also a point that I did not fully understand, giving me a feeling that the male and female protagonists will come out in the end, but they shouldn't be like this. ) Regarding the heroine, I personally feel that the initial stage is due to being too deformed and caused by the humility in front of the male protagonist. Later, shaking hands with the male protagonist to make peace and falling in love does not mean that I recognize this past. On the contrary, I think it is a kind of relationship with the past. of complete disintegration.

If I had to rate it, I would give it seven points, but since there are still a lot of bonus points for this film, I would give it four stars.
