81 minutes, generally speaking, is not a long time, even two or three hours of viewing time is very short now, but for a film with such an attractive length, I wanted to fast-forward at one point. I don’t understand art, and I can’t verify the techniques used in the film. As an ordinary movie watcher, snipers, as the so-called moral standard in the film, wantonly and simply criticize the wrongs and right of others. In modern life, everyone They are very busy, fast-paced, stressful in life, good at disguising, and used to lying to cover up their mistakes, but isn’t this normal? What I find boring about this subject is that the clues are too simple, giving me plenty of time to think about the dialogue between the sniper and the protagonist. I'm also drunk, it's someone else's ability to do it, just like you have the ability to get the protagonist to talk to you on the phone, the sniper, as a critic, is not the same or even more hateful than the people who were killed before and the protagonist, they " Playing with others to achieve their own interests, they use their own abilities to make people "willingly" work for them, and snipers use people's fear of death to force them to do it, and they have to do it and get no benefit. Facing death is terrifying, but being manipulated is unbearable. The sniper made this big dragon and phoenix in order to do "good things" so that the protagonist will no longer run away from him? If you say that the director is just expressing a phenomenon, and the talk is always about lying and hypocrisy, 81 minutes is indeed too long, no wonder I want to fast forward. I saw on the Internet that the result of this film was unexpected. Maybe I saw too many films of this type before, and there was no surprise at the end.
