Shadow of death

The title of the film is "Earthquake Bird".

It appeared twice in the film, and each time this bird appeared after the earthquake.

In fact, it mirrored the heroine. Although the threat of death came without notice and a few corpses were left behind, the earthquake bird always survived.

Earthquake bird is a bit of a lost star.

The heroine's name is Lucy Fly. The surname Fly is rare at all, and the hint can't be more obvious.

The two dreams of the heroine are very strange, one is a kiss with a female partner, and the second is more similar to 3P. Is it implying the heroine's desire for life? During the day, her feelings are always suppressed. At night, after falling asleep, the suppressed desire begins to wake up.

The last dialogue is very interesting. The mistakes made unintentionally, although no one is to blame, no one even notices, but the heart is always panicked and full of guilt.

That's why the heroine has the desire to die.

The hostess's own life is also very estranged: she has six siblings, did not speak for three years after the age of eight, and lived thousands of miles away from home in Japan for five years but hardly called home.

My heart is more sensitive, so I liked it in the end. But the whole film is pretty dry, lacks changes, and has relatively few dramatic conflicts. I personally think that if those two dreams are more exaggerated, it might be better.

In the end, the hostess and the landlord cried bitterly, but it was a good thing. Because the more you share, the less pain.

There are few people who can understand such a secret pain. The old policeman in the police station is also a person who can understand:

"I didn't believe your confession at the beginning, why did you plead guilty?"
"Because I really want to kill Lily"
"I don't believe it, you have other reasons"
