BEAUTY & UGLY

Do we aspire to beauty because it will be seen, appreciated, or because beauty makes us happy?

If it is the latter, is kindness towards oneself, others, and the world as precious as beauty, worthy of people’s yearning and rushing?

This is a philosophical question about "where from".

Sunshine, sandstorms and fancy clothes, absurdity, irony, and drama grow naturally.

The plot of the movie is not complicated.

The protagonist of the movie is a tailor, but it can be said to be a group portrait, with many supporting roles, not much ink but very expressive. The hero who died strangely, the "better you not me" daughter of the "Cinderella" grocery store, the handsome boy Charlie, the kind-hearted women's policeman, the egoist Ivan, the precise lore of cleanliness, the ruthless female teacher... and The heroine's strong and fragile mother.

The setting of almost all the villains makes the ending fire without regrets, and even a little unfinished.

My favorite set of shots is when my mother meets everyone at the grocery store, Beauty & Ugly.
