It is another literary and artistic film. I feel that although it is not as spectacular as a commercial film, it still brings a lot of fluctuations to my heart. The film certainly isn't primarily a criticism of the U.S. immigration system. But the U.S. immigration system is also an important clue for the film. The old professor's acquaintance and getting along with illegal immigrants are all because of the American immigration system. The title of the movie has already pointed out the final fate of these people, and we are just silently waiting for the last moment in the movie. The US immigration system is a system, and it does not consider human favors. The professor's own dreary life was changed by these illegal immigrants. And his last lonely drum sound is not beating this helpless and dull reality in loneliness?

    "Delicate, warm, tearful comedy without lack of appropriate sadness", "slowly devours the heart of the audience, bit by bit enticing people into the film's theme" - The New York Times. Everyone has an "American Dream" in their hearts, and the blurred American flag at the end is very pointy.

    Ronald Cole: I'm sorry, sir. That's all the information that I have. Now, please step away from the window. You can contact I.C.E. if you have any further questions. The number's on the wall. Sir? Step away from the window, please. Sir. For the last time, step away... from the window.

    Prof. Walter Vale: [Walks up to the phone number on the wall, walks back to the window] You can't just take people away like that. Do you hear me? He was a good man, a good person. It's not fair! We are not just helpless children! He had a life! Do you hear me? I mean, do YOU hear ME? What's the matter with you?
