It is not enough to use "simplicity" and "simplicity" to appreciate it, and it is not enough to use "careful observation of the truth" to hit its characteristics. In fact, it is the best work, it has almost all the qualities of the best work: simple, plain, real, natural, quiet, not exaggerated, not deliberate, not distorted, not absurd, there is love but not for love, there is Hate but not for hatred, the actors are not dazzling but very endearing, the plot is small but the feeling is deep, meaningful but not for symbolism, not for symbolism but for the vastness (think more, even "carpenter" and "son" can be with Jesus. and religion, although the film itself can be said to have no such intention), and most importantly, it makes the audience fully participate and fully participate in the film and the director to experience and the actors to feel. What a beautiful ending it is, because it has almost no ending, the image is silently gone in a swipe, and the darkness and the immediate subtitles suddenly open your mind and brighten your eyes.
