That's Just the World Around Us

This kind of character has many complicated plots and many coincidence films, and the last one has to be traced back to "American Beauty", the same five-star.

If you want to use one word to describe this film, it is: life in various forms. There will always be a character, whether it is one of the N protagonists or those supporting actors who are equally brilliant, will remind you of your past or future; the others will remind you of the people around you.

There can be all kinds of bizarre experiences, but when it comes to the end, the essence of human beings is so similar, especially when death spreads out in front of you.

Earl's words before his death are afraid of the "central sentence" of the film: "Life isn't short; it's long." Life is hard.

The only thing I don't like is the frog rain at the end of the film, which is too religious.

I believe that there will be people in so many film reviews that agree with me-this is a film about forgiveness. It is not easy, but it is the best result.

What's... wrong? You suck my dick. That's what's wrong. And you, you fucking call me "lady"? Shame on you. Shame on you. Shame on both of you.
