If I can, I would rather believe that those childhoods are hallucinations.

In this society, regret cannot be redeemed.

This world is like this. Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimps. The weak are always playing the role of being bullied, like meat to be slaughtered on a chopping board.

Jack is always bullied by others at school, and he has no close friends. The heavy atmosphere at home and the indifference of his mother to him. He has always been cowardly, insignificant, and despised in the eyes of others. He has no one to talk to.
Like an abandoned child.

The reason why Philip is like this is because of the long-term sexual assault by his brother. This made a huge change in his personality.
His temper became violent, and his character gradually twisted.
Perhaps the most important thing is that he was once regarded as a weak person like Jack, and he was not cared for and friendship.
Need a place to lock himself up, which gave him the dark side of humanity.

The encounter of these two people made each other an object to talk to. Stealing things together and doing bad things together, as long as you can leave the home and leave the school that makes you sick, it is good.

Perhaps young and ignorant, they killed that girl. Whether this is a mess of ghosts or anger or anger accumulated all the time, the fact has already happened. They were sent to prison. This is destined to be a crime that cannot be eliminated in a lifetime. Have you seen the eyes of those people in the court? Perhaps the resentment of these people has been carved into their bones.

When he grows up, Jack wants to forget everything before and face the future life with a brand new life. He was finally able to make friends, go to work, and fall in love. However, the good times did not last long. The boss fired him, his friends did not trust him, and his girlfriend left him. The beautiful world he just started to create suddenly lost its color.

Crazy reporters blocked the house, and the streets were full of posters catching rewards.
The panic from his youth rushed to his heart again, and he began to step into the darkness again. He squatted in the corner hoping to stop the unbearable gossip.
However, the ears cannot be closed.

Being young is not a sin. He is no longer the kid who made a mistake at the time, but regrets no matter how much it does not help.
He stood there to experience the edge and loneliness of fragile life.

The director left some suspense at the end of the film.
Life, love, those who have had it, have already vanished. Instead, countless people's accusations and hatred.
There is no difference between survival and death at this time.
