The photo is a watershed.
Before the photo appeared, the film was undoubtedly aimed at the keywords "the confusion of youth", "growth", and "father-son relationship". The male protagonist discovered that his father was interacting with another woman, so he approached this woman, and had a connection with it—in my opinion, it was a means to approach his father. The mysterious old man who was sitting on the stairs by accident and chattering like a new neighbor like a counselor was like a noble person we accidentally met in our lives. The word fate is enough to summarize this beauty.
Perhaps it is obsessed with the idea that "every character must have a head and a tail" when the photo is released, the style of painting changes suddenly. Oh, after another thought, there may not be so many accidents and so many chances in life. Such a big game of chess, shaken out with such a small prop, is somewhat anticlimatic. At the same time, the inner changes and growth of the male protagonist were hurriedly carried by the subtitle "One Year Later". A section in the bar cannot be satisfied with reconciliation with the past. What makes him willing to look at the people and things around him in an accepting attitude?
It's not that the plot is going to be lowered, but it's not enough to satisfy me.
