People who hurt you are often the people around you

I used an inappropriate sentence to sum up my feelings after watching this film.

I think the ending will be very unexpected for the audience, whether they are in the industry or not. At first, I was still thinking, when Erica's daughter asked her when we would meet again, and when Erica was killed, I was still thinking, when my daughter grows up, I should hate Rachel very much, I have been thinking about the future When I was doing it, I was told at the end that my daughter was the one who indirectly killed Erica, and the reason why the editorial department was working hard to protect it from beginning to end was suddenly clear.

And when the ending comes, if you push back a lot of details, you will find that the movie has been burying clues little by little, and you can't help thinking about it: from Timmy grabbing the little girl's braid, to making a snitch and changing seats, from Timmy to changing seats. Conversations with Rachel, from Rachel telling Erica her daughter is well-behaved, from Erica being separated from her daughter, from Erica being murdered, Rachel being firmer, and finally the most important editor asking who Rachel xxx is , Rachel replied that it was Erica's daughter, and she suddenly became enlightened.

And I and I will inevitably think, if it is not a little girl, not a child, then Rachel and the others will face the same problem again, will they still protect them for so many years? If it were replaced by a middle-aged man of the same age as the politician who ran out to admit it at the time, would the ending be different? Of course, I guess it will, but I can't tell.

From this drama, you can see the reality and the ideal. The reality is that the husband cheats, the son is far away, and he is repeatedly imprisoned. The ideal is that the two directors of the editorial agency have never given up on themselves, and have always supported and understood.

All in all, it's a film worth reflecting on.
