If life has a deadline

The beginning briefly introduces the origin of a dog, and metaphors the male protagonist's illegal business through the lines, and the injured dog delays the meeting and trading time. The superb performance shows his free-spirited and unrestrained character. on the rules.

Afterwards, the picture of one person and one dog walking leisurely and coldly on the street is very handsome. After rejecting the drug addict who asked the male protagonist pitifully for drugs, he donated money to the homeless on the street. He dared to refuse and was a little loving. The man is really attractive, at least the person is set up to stand, but the film has not yet given what the main plot is, who the male protagonist is, and what is the purpose, these are impossible to know, but it is left from the few words. A little suspense.

I asked two friends to meet at night, and these two friends accurately conveyed their respective personalities and character information to the audience through just a small clip. In a class, he fell in love with a sexy 17-year-old student. At the same time, he had to suppress his dirty thoughts. He wanted to act but was limited to a "honest" teacher. The other was a fish in water in the workplace. The old fritters, not afraid of their bosses, disdain the rookie in the same department, and a white-collar worker who is absolutely confident in what he can do. Two friends with different personalities are discussing about the male protagonist's imprisonment, and their views on other things are also reflected in their own personalities.

Although there are a lot of scenes between the two of them alone, it is a pity that these two are not the protagonists. The clips interspersed with the male protagonist's memories made me feel a little bit disconnected in watching the movie, because the memories were too abrupt and the end was too abrupt. It was not connected with the main storyline, which left me at a loss. I couldn't tell which segment was which timeline, and it was only later that I became clear. When the male protagonist led his friends to the last venue, there was only one night left for the male protagonist. At this time, his expression and state were not the same as in the morning. For some reasons, between teachers and white-collar workers, the former seems to be the best entrustment choice. As for white-collar workers, friends from childhood to adulthood, and heart-to-heart conversations, let the male protagonist’s emotions release more, despair for future prison life, abandonment of life after coming out, fear and regret begin to gradually reveal, white-collar workers are constantly Comfort the male protagonist, good brother, don't give up.

But neither a good brother nor a good wife can help the male protagonist who is in a cage, and then he starts to blame himself, as if his inner conscience is reminding himself to do something for the important person in front of him, which is both ridiculous and ironic. Shi's kindness is as meaningless as those passers-by's words.

And the male protagonist, who experienced violence and became ugly, lay weakly on his sofa. After being deeply confessed by his wife, he completely released his emotions. He cried bitterly. On the road, and the conversation with my father in the car, I can't help but sigh that in the face of the law, in the face of right and wrong, family love always ranks first in the weight of the father, which may make the male protagonist's reluctance to the free world adds to the a few points.

And when the picture after that was presented as described by my father, I was shocked. The male protagonist obeyed his father's advice, fled to a remote town, escaped the punishment of the law, and lived a new life. Live a sweet and happy life with his wife, continue his descendants, happy end, if you want to escape, it will conflict with the previous plot of the male protagonist's reluctance to part with the free world and his fear of prison life. There is no need for such a plot, directly Just how to plan to escape from the beginning, it made me think that this film is just like this, the reversal gave me a big surprise, all this is an illusion, the fate of the male protagonist can never be changed, and the consequences are sown Always taste for yourself.

This is the first time I have seen the subject of the criminal's psychological activities before entering prison. There are some surprises and surprises, but the flaws are also obvious. There are some irrelevant plots, and the coherence of the story is not particularly strong. If the focus is more Put it on the male protagonist to create more conflicts, and perhaps the atmosphere will be stronger.

If life has a deadline, will it also be full of frustration, lack of color, pain for family members, and indifferent to the world?
