Emotions do not have to be placed

The portrayal of life and death is not the point, but the film is indeed sad, but it can't tell why it is sad. Maybe this is the emotion that the audience has nowhere to put! Henry is the main thread. He symbolizes beautiful things and pure humanity, but at the same time, he is full of contradictions. Our emotions are moved by him, and our body is yearned for, and there are times when he is powerless. We always want the most direct reunion, and the film tells us that life is sometimes twists and turns, and the truth is sometimes looming, but this will not change the essence of a good life! Emotions do not necessarily have to be placed somewhere, it is also peaceful to wander around and move with one's heart!

    I want to use a kind mother to finally give up the wrong way of helping others to express "the good people are good and the bad people are evil", but the plot is too absurd, there are big problems in the creation of the characters and the focus of the characters in the story. It's a pity to perform seriously.

    Combined with the recent incident of 41 pounds of female college students, the reality is indeed more cruel

    Susan Carpenter: I told you. It just wasn't our business.

    Henry Carpenter: I think... when someone hurts someone else I, I think it is our business.

    Susan Carpenter: Well, I know it seems that way but... there was nothing I could do.

    Henry Carpenter: Yeah, mom if... if everybody did that then there would be no one to look out for the people who just can't look out for themselves.

    Susan Carpenter: So what should I have done? I didn't want things to get violent.

    Henry Carpenter: Violence isn't the worst thing in the world.

    Susan Carpenter: What is then?

    Henry Carpenter: Apathy.

    Henry Carpenter: Goddamn it, Janice. How much longer does this have to go on? What else do you need to see?

    Henry Carpenter: Bruises, exhaustion, decreased school performance. What have her grades been this year?

    Principal Wilder: You know I can't tell you anything about another student's grades.

    Henry Carpenter: You're under no obligation to investigate. You need merely report suspicion of. It's, it's your ethical responsibility as an educator.

    Principal Wilder: I made preliminary inquiries which turned...

    Henry Carpenter: So make secondary inquiries!

    Principal Wilder: It's more complicated than that, Henry. Mr. Sickleman is the police commissioner and an upstanding member...

    Henry Carpenter: As if upstanding members of the community...

    Henry Carpenter: Fine. I will handle this without you.
