The title of the film was not well translated, and the "murderer" was clear from the beginning. If you treat it as a mystery film, I will be disappointed. The theme of leaving the small town and yearning for the big city reappeared in the film through some details, which also led to the beginning of a series of events. Including the ending of the film in an extraordinary way to realize the male protagonist's wish to leave the town, and the little boys can't catch up with the back of the car, all hinting at the division of the town and the big city. A life-oriented philosophical film.
Many lines are footnotes to life in the small town. The gray-haired old policeman encountered a homicide for the first time, entered the morgue for the second time, used a bulletproof vest for the first time... and talked about old things with the owner of the car repair shop. Recalling, the director constructed an indifferent and calm style. As a common theme in Chinese and foreign literature, the local feelings gave people a not easy melancholy in this murder case.
