No bad people, but still doing bad things

As soon as the last long shot came out, the name "A Sigh" came to mind. It's not an interesting movie, but it's a good movie. After watching it, you won't have the joy and happiness that you usually have after watching a good movie, but more of a sigh. This sigh is for your own life.

There are a lot of close-ups, hand-held photography, long shots, and a special mention is the rigor of the script. The chains of life are intertwined, driving the development of drama. If the mother is not too busy, the little girl will not let the little girl take out the garbage, and the little girl will not soil the clothes if she does not take out the garbage, because the little girl soiled the clothes, the mother has to deal with her, and the grandfather runs out and then There is a good development later. What I didn't expect was that getting garbage would be a setback for the neighbor's wife.

In addition, the male owner's daughter has extraordinary reasoning ability, from the gear of the washing machine to the father's lie, she understands but can't express it, so at the end crying to stop her mother and leaving in tears has such a powerful force. The screenwriter and director are really meticulous and meticulous.

The father is ultimately defeated by the illness of the grandfather, the death of his wife, and a prison sentence. Although neither of them are evil people, they cannot be a good person in the face of life. The father can still insist on being a man of integrity in the face of the trivialities of life, while the murder charge is completely different, religion does not bind him, and the daughter and family are excellent excuses for him to abandon his principles and are defeated. In the face of failure, he still lacked courage, so he had to say to his daughter: If you want me to confess, I will go tomorrow. The daughter was silent. The second time he faced the problem, he threw the trouble back to his daughter: if you think I'm wrong, you go to your mother. By this time, this father, this man, had already collapsed in front of life.

When the nurse confessed that he had been hit by a car, I was worried that the conflict would be closed, and everyone played fifty big boards and shook hands. A good movie is a good movie after all. Even though compensation was sent, and his father's insolence was a little bit unreasonable, for a devout family of believers, it became an evil act of extorting faith, and finally pushed the conflict to the top. The broken windshield and the little girl's resentful eyes are a loud slap in the face - but there are no bad guys here.

The so-called wish good people a safe life, it is better to hope that everyone has the opportunity to be a good person.
