The real fear comes from people’s heart and real life

Fortunately, I watched it while eating.

Horror, this is my first reaction. At the end, my body couldn't help but tremble. My habit of watching horror movies has been for several years, big and small, and I have read it from all countries. If there is no one thousand, there must be nine hundred, from black and white to color, and even banned movies such as metamorphosis, corpse love, and cutting.

Don't get me wrong, this film is only a drama, it is a literary category. There are no ghosts, no zombies, no monsters, no blood spurting, no amputation, no hacking, only drugs, small characters and reality. The real horror does not come from the chainsaw of the Texas chainsaw massacre, or the curse of grievances, or the cannibals from other planets, but from our hearts. Everyone has a magic in their heart, but they don't know when it will appear. The most powerful part of this film is that the audience can see the "magic" in their heart and the "magic" in reality by watching this film. Although it is only a movie, it can feel pain and despair from time to time. A sense of despair and pain comparable to waiting for death.

This is the movie, this is the real movie, highly recommended.
