Upstairs has talked a lot about Paul, father and son, I will talk about other things. Sometimes a story does not have only one meaning, the world is multi-faceted.

For the entire film, Norman's narration directly brings out his feelings and perceptions about life; each character in it, from the front, side and back, reflects the deep imprint of this natural environment. Of course, what impressed me most was the movie clip on the cover of the DVD package - when the angler shot, the backlit photography, such as the soaring fish silk lines of dragons and snakes, stood out against the dark background.

The Normans loved the land, but they also had a yearning for the bustling city; Paul, who was a "beautiful man" (father), seemed to me a son of nature.

There are many shadows of people in everyone, and this drama made me compare our two brothers: I would say that my brother didn't stick to the family when he was a child, and I was more disciplined.
