Before watching it, I heard that some people compared this to "Inside the Ear", so I also placed high hopes. Although the plot is a little less fresh (like Kazama himself said it is like a cheap melodrama), but in general the story is very complete and touching. I like this simple style of painting, and I like the simplicity and persistence of the people of that era, as well as the subtlety and perseverance in the face of pain. In such an impetuous age, being able to read such a story seems to remove a little dust from the mind and make the heart more pure. The movie left us with a happy ending. Some people say that so many coincidences are too fake and hypocritical to put together, it is a story, why can't there be more coincidences and more beauty?
