The road to salvation has no end

The masterpiece of the screenwriter, at the end I realized that it was a play in a play. On the surface, love runs through the subject, but deep down, it is about salvation.

The role played by Liam Nissen is a Pulitzer Prize writer. Due to his own affair, his son drowned in the swimming pool due to his negligence, and he was devastated. Relying on Jiang Lang's talented writing and vain true love to support himself. The other two stories interspersed in parallel in the movie are actually plots in his novels. They are also separated and alienated from their son due to their own negligence, and they are also a process of seeking salvation. The whole film uses the child's line "watching me" to link the three stories from time to time.

The English name of the film is "third person" (the third person). I don't know why the Chinese title is translated so badly. In the course of life, there are always things like this or someone who wants to pull us back into the abyss (this may be the original intention of the title, the third person who is not present), and the road to redemption never ends. Sometimes it may not be redeemable at all, even in the name of love.

PS Cast is great, the acting skills are in place, the plot tension is very strong, and the editing techniques are proficient
