epic

That's called epic.
Multiple branches, huge scenes, complex but not chaotic narrative style, and evocative ending, the skills of the director and screenwriter can be seen.
Each scene is connected by different colors, and the scene switching is completed by the passing of characters, which is rare in this type of film.
Of course, the resignation of the final judge is definitely not enough in China. How can you ignore the big self and complete your personal self? presumptuous! Of course, I won't say much about this kind of human rights and other value disputes. Everyone has their own views. I have already laid out my views, and that's enough.

PS: Hey, I also want to learn Spanish, but I found that French and Spanish have been distinguished recently, haha

    Great script, the tones are interesting. Although I don't really like the tone of his narrative.

    Soderbergh's ambitious, multi-clue, multi-character narrative. Just like the Internet, many people are indirectly involved because of drugs. The proliferation of drugs in the United States is almost shocking, especially for minors and even high school students. The erosion of college students is even more worrying. The picture style of the film is extremely remarkable. Different pictures are used to present the two parts of the story of the United States and Mexico. The hand-held shoulder photography adds to the free documentary style of the film.
