Great novels can turn into great movies

I have watched this film several times, and the novel is even more famous.

This drama is very deep, and after watching it, there are many very unusual feelings. Many of the details that Robert Warren discusses in the novel are universal. After the Civil War in the American South, social problems were very complicated and heavy, and it was a hotbed of many great works. William Faulkner was also a Southerner. Warren's story is a tragedy in ancient Greek style that makes me feel very relevant. However, on the point of the tragedy of fate, he emphasized that character determines fate, not that God determines fate.

Like Dahir Hammet’s bloody harvest, I also intuitively thought that this movie could be filmed in China.
