Amy and Pete are a wealthy and kind middle-class couple. Ten years ago, they adopted a boy named Luce from Eritrea, a war-torn country in Africa. Luce was once accepted as a child soldier. Very cruel military training, Amy and Pete firmly believe that a good education and tolerant love can help him regain his kind nature. In a blink of an eye, ten years later, Luce grew up to be an upright and promising young man, and the imprints that he had carved on him in the past have faded. Luce's African-American teacher Harrett admired this student very much, thinking that he could change people's stereotyped imagination of African countries and races.

    The completion of the story is very high, and the performance of the actors is also remarkable. A great feeling is to put yourself in everyone's situation and feel that you can't do better than them, but the process and results are still the same.

    The text is so complex that it can diverge from any character to form a closed loop. Psychological game (threat), conspiracy (incitement), political declaration (empathy), mental hypnosis (domestication). Luce represents the individual, the class, and the state apparatus. The director looks angry on the surface, but ridiculed at closer inspection, and turned out to be utterly pessimistic on closer inspection.

Luce quotes

  • Luce Edgar: When I first met my mother, she couldn't pronounce my name. My father suggested that they rename me. They picked Luce, which means light.
