There is no need for people to blend with each other except their own heart.

#leave no trace#★★★★, a story about accepting and being accepted by the society, choosing a life, plain and simple. The father and daughter, whose blood is thicker than water, depend on each other in a peaceful forest, trying to stay away from human society and unable to escape such an invisible net. People who don't read it will think that their father has social phobia, but as long as they grasp the details in the film and explain You will know that he is a veteran who is difficult to integrate into the modern crowd after the war and has psychological trauma. The father and daughter have chosen the future path. There is the pain of giving up, and the steadfastness of doing what they want. The director uses a box of bees to interpret "acceptance". "The theme is a brilliant but not high-profile climax scene, and the psychological transformation is so natural and plain, "leaving no traces". At the same time, the American pastoral guitar song that plays in the second half of the movie is also like a song of persuasion to God, warm and peaceful. The heroine in the film is a young girl with full of aura and natural acting skills, with a bright future. The male protagonist Ben Foster changed the image of the boy in "The Mechanic" and "The Dante Code", and showed the father's inner entanglement and love for his daughter incisively and vividly in the film. The biggest impression is that a good movie doesn't have to be vigorous, and the mediocre plot will give birth to major life choices. With the background of the green forest, any choice will become a peace of mind, except for one's own heart. What needs to be blended with each other. ——Nine Rings Film Review

    I’m not used to watching this kind of independent movies. Although I can imagine the reason why my father prefers to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, I can understand my daughter’s adaptation and yearning for living in a group, and I can feel the distance between father and daughter, but I still can’t adapt to the end. At that time, the feeling of "how come this movie is over", "why does it seem like I haven't watched it", and "it's over without any dramatic conflict". Well, it should be my cultivation base is not enough.

    Ten minutes of trial, quite satisfied.
