The gap between adults and children, the discussion on the issue of social responsibility is very deep and vivid

The plot of the whole film is very subtle, probably like this: the lawyer loves his daughter very much, but the daughter unknowingly grows into a slutty woman, leaves him, and hates her parents. The lawyer can’t understand why this happened. Change, and gradually he developed a radical idea that it was the consequence of a bad social environment. He was determined to retaliate against such a society and wanted to awaken the conscience of the society with a powerful cry. Finally, he found a black-hearted insurance company. The family that lost the child because of the operation—the school bus driver’s family colluded with the female driver to give a warning to the society. As for whether the accident was planned by them, it is not clear. It may be a plot, or it may be a real accident. But they must have colluded after the accident, and the story ultimately failed because of the betrayal of the child, the surviving girl. In the story, a poem describing the innocence and innocence of the paradise is the true hope and ideal. This movie is not the cry of the parents, but the cry of the children. The parents in the story think of only one thing after the accident. : Compensation and various material problems in life. Even if you don’t ask for compensation, the thought is extremely utilitarian. Almost every adult is like this, because this is the life of an adult. These are very disgusting and terrifying in the eyes of children, and it is suffocating. Yes, this is the root cause of children's rebellion and hatred of their parents. The society that lawyers want to correct is actually himself. Lawyers are like every adult of us: should I think about how far away from innocence my life is? Up? Is the love that I give to my children turned into a puddle of poop, or is it just poop?
