Don't be fooled by fascinated eyes

Mysterious eyes, The Secret in Their Eyes, this year's best foreign language film Oscar hit. The director is also making this film for the Oscars. The film contains various elements of the award-winning film, redemption, love, friendship, dark human nature, political corruption...
However, after watching it, I always feel that something is missing. The essence of missing a good movie is to touch people's hearts. The director's control of multiple elements is a bit careless. Each element is a story that can be told, but when put together, none of them can fully vent. Benjamín fell in love with Sandoval the first time he saw her, but the breakup between the two was so easy, just because Gómez wanted to kill Benjamín. If in real life, Benjamín's departure is understandable, but what is a movie, a movie is a dream, a dream in real life. The people in the movie need to fulfill their dreams in the movie, which people can't fulfill in real life, so as to impress people and move the people living in real life; because they all have a heart like a stubborn stone, and real life can no longer be achieved. Impress it. Morales' true love for his lover can be seen in the sky, but it is manifested through 25 years of confinement to Morales. Here, the darkness of human nature obscures the true love for the lover. The only thing that touched me in the film was Sandoval's friend's frame being brought down before he was shot. But friendship is only one of the many elements in this film, so this touch passes in a flash in the film, and it does not linger.
The Oscars have their advantages, but there is really no need for them. This film is like a composition with sufficient material and beautiful words, but there is no importance or choice, so it cannot be included in the model essay.
I don't know the director of this movie, and I don't even have the ability to direct. Seems ineligible to point fingers here. However, since a work is released, it belongs not only to the directors and actors, but also to every audience watching it.

    The first time I saw an Argentine film, the actors were all awesome.

    There is too little description for the main line, and there is not much feeling when the final climax comes. The scene of the model's death was shocking. There is also a long lens that is awesome.
