The empty mirrors in the film account for a large proportion, walking through the film like an important character, adding weight to the film. If there was an Oscar for best shot, it would go to the shores of Manchester. Emotions are the core of a movie, and everything serves emotions. The empty mirrors in this film are no worse than a seasoned actor. Of course, this can be said to be the credit of the photographer or the editor. . The gloomy, empty, and repressed emotions are beyond the reach of Casey Affleck, who plays Lee.

And the music of this film seems to be like a teenager crying by the sea, the sadness is so pure and thorough.

The boldness of the editing in this film allows memories to be interspersed at will, without any prompts and routines. But it is similar to simulating the state of mind of a real person. The seemingly chaotic editing makes the film more charming, allowing the film's emotions to jump naturally without being bound by any form.

    Obviously the bright tones are used throughout the film, but the viewing is extremely depressing. Faced with the death and departure of family members time and time again, every punch in the bar is completely released. Behind the warm Manchester is my lingering painful past. How difficult it is to play the role of Cassie is no longer It goes without saying. The director filmed the family love scene very much like Hirokazu Ee, and Cassie's performance is of the kind of "listening to thunder in a silent place". So far my awards season top3

    The funeral of returning home (going home to see the corpse) is really a wide range of subjects. It can be a drama, a comedy, and a satire. The flashback cut of this film is quite interesting, just like a title symbol of the feature film, a comma, an exclamation mark, and an ellipsis. The face of Casey Affleck, like his brother Ben, is naturally depressed and unhappy.
