Judging from the story, this film is undoubtedly an excellent independent film. After reading it, it is solid enough to understand the script, and there are no useless fragments in the whole story.

In fact, it is a detective case movie, I see it is more like a movie about growth.

For many years, like the protagonist, there are so few things that can be shown off around you when you are young, but as you grow up, the things that seemed worthy of showing off when you are young have gradually lost their former glory, except for those around you. Even when you raised it again when you were older, you showed contempt. Only oneself, like the protagonist, hangs reports obtained at the age of twelve on the wall, like a drowning man clutching a life-saving plank. Just like the words the protagonist said, he suddenly seemed to be far behind the crowd and suddenly fell behind. Not many people can bear this gap at ease.

I like some of the foreshadowings inside. When I was young, I hid in the closet to investigate the case. Even if I was found, I would treat it as cute. When he grows up he will be regarded as a pedophile. ,

When I grew up, I told people that I would never give up, knowing to catch the murderer and give the victims' families peace of mind.

What I got back was just one sentence: Don't be silly.

I really like the end of the movie. He cracked the case, caught the evil principal, and became a star again. All the people in his family and friends who looked down on his town before now show kindness. Even the chromatic aberration of the movie has become brighter. But he never showed the confident smile after solving the case when he was a child.

Facing his dearest parents, he cried deeply, releasing the emotions I felt depressed for more than ten years.
