A Family Tragedy and a Society Tragedy

When I watched it for the first time, I felt really bored. The strange opening scenes were strangely shot with shaky shots. When I saw the ending, I couldn't help but watch it from the beginning. Oh, so that's what it meant.

When watching family dramas, it's hard for me not to put people or things around me, so when a girl talks about her mother, I can't help but wonder if I treat people around me the same way.

Father, who doesn't really love anyone, can't stand his ex-wife, doesn't actually love his current wife, doesn't care about his newborn child, and says to his thirteen-year-old daughter: I've forgotten what it's like to have a daughter now,

And the mother who lives with the girl, the girl recorded this scene with the camera lens of the mobile phone

After her mother was poisoned into the hospital for some reason (probably because the little girl gave her mother an overdose of tranquilizers), the girl came to her father's house, her grandfather who could only live on a wheelchair, and her aunt whose life and career were in a mess, The stepmother who just gave birth, and the cousin who caused the landslide accident at work.

It is summer in the film, the sun is shining from the little girl's room, and it seems to be very comfortable when she is on the beach with her father, but hearing the ambiguity on her father's phone and her actual feelings are not at all. warmth.

The most terrifying thing is that when we feel that others are doing something wrong, we are actually doing the same thing to others. The ancients said that you should do what you don’t want to do to others, but what is the expression of loving someone? Sometimes when we hurt others, we always think that others are not strong enough to care about these details. What about when we encounter the same injury? How are we doing?

Father picks up girl from school, girl cry

This is the reflection that this film brought me to discuss with you.

    Dead middle-class families, refugees. Suicide (in relation to euthanasia) and poisoning. Iphone shooting, the insertion of the computer interface, collage, text instead of audio dialogue (middle-aged Wen Ai) led to many times to pause and read, it feels very wonderful, the old man who keeps pace with the times.

    I really like this style of mourning, why are there so many reasons, how complex an animal is, what kind of nourishment and what kind of suffering it needs to go through to become what this family is now. What kind of ending is the perfect ending is up to you to choose. Love what the script and narrative leave out. That is real life, indescribable.
