1. The human brain has a potential sense of self-protection. It regards some bad memories as good ones and selectively forgets some painful ones! Fuzzy things, when you pick them up, are like building muscles to remove rot, scraping bones to cure poison, and after anesthesia, they are like dreams, but they are so real, it really happened! 2. Families with many children should pay attention to the psychological growth of each child, and don't let your career bury your family! Home is a safe haven. When there is no warmth and no beacon lights, the boat will naturally not return! It can only float in the ocean of society! When the rickety boat is covered with devastated detours, please open your arms! Please be honest! Don't deceive yourself, don't be arrogant, don't say that the port is there, you don't choose to dock, you choose to float! The truth is that you banish the boat, and a ship without a compass can only get lost! 3. Even if the next generation brings a child, even if a thousand good, ten thousand hard work is not worth a single finger-pointing, otherwise the uncle will not remember all the kindness, hard work, and no appreciation, but may also hold grudges for the rest of his life, making the old man regret for the rest of his life ! 4. A fly does not bite a seamless egg, and there is no cat in the world that does not stick to the fishy smell; the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change; with virtue, respect for virtue, and violence against violence!

    Even without the burden of the director's own experience, this will still be an emotional film, and the characters in it are delicate and sensitive. The film uses letters to connect the past and the present in time and space, uncovering the traumatic memories of the victims layer by layer. In this process, the director reveals mature drama and narrative skills. What is slightly lacking is that the motives of the event are unclear. Whether it is shooting characters or talking about social hotspots, it fails to ideally see tension. ★★★

    Childhood shadows can be a lifetime nightmare. In this film, I applaud the director's courage to adapt the story with his own experience. Child sexual abuse obviously exists, but it is beautified by the perpetrator with the bright concept of love. The truth buried in memory is getting closer to reality layer by layer, which is really distressing.

    Mrs. G: No one saved me.

  • Nettie: Honestly, sometimes I find it hard to believe you are my own child.
