Violence without violence

This is a sad and open ending. No one knows if there is anything wrong with him.

Seeing his wounded expression when he stood up, he must have heard the words of those two people. This sentence may be what the boy who deceived him wanted to say, maybe it was what the father who didn’t want him wanted to say, it was what the selfish father and son who would not forgive others would say. Dry. So he left and returned to the only one who could forgive him and love her.

The violence in the film is just to make people sad. The appearance of the child standing up is more touching to me than Antoine looking out through the railing. A child who doesn’t know how to protect himself is hurt, which is comparable to a child in KES. The scene of the dead Kitty.

When adults will use the law to punish others, what can a child who can't protect himself do?
When adults use the worries of life as an excuse, what can a helpless child do?
What can a child begging to be loved when adults use sly words to set up despicable traps?

When something happens, there is a huge contrast between adults who think about how to protect themselves, how to lie and shirk, and children who run rampant for others and ignore themselves!

Compared with the children who are desperately defending their father's selfish behavior, are the father and son who don't even want to reach out to help the child, the boyfriend who likes to condemn others, and the father who pushes the child outside the wall, are they bad guys? Are they bad guys? Self-protection is a warm blunt sword, but if it is too much, it will hurt people. It is not a wound of skin or flesh, but a mark printed on the bone.

The film is not about condemnation, and of course it does not return a wound equivalent to 400 hits. The child grows up, from rampage to silent patience, but who can say that this method is better? The calmness that a child shouldn't have is the most distressing pain.

Regarding the child's face, Kes's confused face on the cover of the DVD is as heartbreaking as the way he climbed up from the ground to cover his face. The director broke our hearts with such a simple lens.

You can think about it, what can a child do in the face of greedy adults who always want to get more?

One of the big taboos of dramas is that directors and screenwriters are always eager to explain their characters and motives, but the more they explain, the more they are framed, and the less attractive they are for the audience to explore. A three-dimensional person has different images in the eyes of different people. It is this multi-faceted and contradictory character that makes the character plump and charming. Fortunately, this film is simple and appropriate. There was no explanation why he adopted him, all the red tape of adoption, how to surrender at the police station, stay where needed, and delete what was not needed. Always do subtraction instead of having too many things eager to explain to the audience. This is the director’s skill, and it’s really good!

There is no nonsense, no sensationalism, no cheap emotional sales, but my heart is crushed with gentle pictures and soft injuries.


Here, pay tribute to the director.
