We are not saints

This movie uses crime stories to show the subtle psychological changes of the characters, which has profound moral implications. But in the environment where everyone is accustomed to the concise and clear narration of commercial films, to be honest, this film seems a bit too slow at first glance, but the photography and editing are very good, many details are very nuanced, not to mention the performance of the actors, rooney is as always Stable and full of surprises at the same time. On the other hand, as Orientals may not be accustomed to this way of expressing moral feelings, or we imagine in our minds that the story of a criminal who escaped from prison and retrieved his wife and daughter would be much more drama than this movie, a very personal heroic protagonist. Wait, the protagonist in the film is not a saint, and so are we. We are constantly trying for the family, trying to give the best for our loved ones. I prefer this kind of minimalism, emphasizing emotional expression, and a lot of white space without losing realism. The mistake we make every time is to confuse entertainment and artistry subjectively and unconsciously. Box office is not the purpose of this movie. From the plot arrangement, it is also obvious that the director’s purpose is not the so-called western crime story. . Personally, I think this movie is worth watching, especially from a professional point of view. But the benevolent see benevolence, it's just a humble opinion.
