Pau Love Letter

The Affleck Brothers movie is a love letter to Boston, the city of academies, the city of crime, and the city where Tom Brady is worshipped. He shows you the good and bad, even especially the bad, the bottom-level culture of Pau's customs, and then tells you that he still loves its ravines. It feels like the people who grew up in Boston, the Affleck brothers, Matt Damon and Conan O'Brien, all have a honeyed pride in the city. As a native of Youcheng, I am all too familiar with the feeling of growing up in the same block and everyone knows everyone, so I like it very much. Big Ben's feelings towards street gangsters are a bit like Guy Ritchie's, and his feelings towards his hometown are similar to Bi Gan's.

The model of the young couple handling the case together is quite novel (I really don’t know if Sherlock Holmes and Watson should be included in this), this is a two-part story like “L.A. Confidential”, the first half is to find the murdered one. I liked the little boy very much before, the customs, everyone from the detective to the protagonist is upright and awe-inspiring.

The complexity of the theme of the second half of the story unfolds suddenly and becomes a game between procedural justice and outcome justice. The old police detective, who is used to seeing the warmth and disappointment of the world, decides to bend the rules for the last time before retiring, for the sake of the child he lost, and to give the little girl a future away from the streets. The protagonists of Leng Touqing and Catholics pursue procedural justice, and in order to fulfill their mother's entrustment, they can sleep well at night. Everyone has done what they think is right, and everyone has selfishness. The only opinion that has not been questioned is that girl, floating around like duckweed.

Is this mother worth welcoming back her child? I don't know. I just watched "Transcendence" and I held a negative attitude. Being a parent is not a natural human right. If some people are unwilling to change, they are not qualified. But who am I, and I am not qualified to judge. This is a moral dilemma. Only time can give an answer that is not an answer. Before that, everyone may have a relationship at some point before going to sleep.
