take care of yourself

Another breakthrough in my choice, I didn't expect that I could watch a movie with broken hands all the way. I've always been afraid of seeing other people's wounds and having a feeling of weakness and lack of strength all over my body. Although there are basically no particularly bloody scenes in the movie, but when I saw that hand fighting against pigeons, garbage heaps, and mice, I didn't know why it hurt and felt powerless, as if anyone could bully him. At first, I thought the owner of the hand was dead. From the previous memories, including a beautiful family and childhood, it made me even more curious why things developed like this? Including Norfo, who fell in love with the girl, and a series of things he did to get close to her, made me feel that this boy is very innocent, love is love, and he is willing to do many things in places you don't know. But on the other hand, this is also very scary for girls. Approaching and following with purpose, anyway, I think it is quite scary. Finally, the answer to the parents' car accident was revealed, and the two things that cut off the hand to catch flies made me understand why the male protagonist would say that this is fate. Because this guy is such a person. He is a person with delicate and rich feelings but often frustrated. He doesn't know how to deal with it, so he can only attribute it to fate. Looking for someone to fight, the more you can't catch the fly, the more you want to catch it. The more you focus on one point, the easier it is to ignore other details or dangers. It's not just joy and sorrow, when you're completely overwhelmed by any kind of emotion is when you're most prone to mistakes and accidents. So when I was young, I suffered a lot because of this. I don’t believe in fate, but I believe in luck. Everyone is born with different luck, but the way of living under different fates is still in your hands. It is very important to learn to get along with yourself.

One last word about those tactile shots of holding a lot of things in my hand that recur throughout the movie. I remember the sand sliding down my hand, touching the walls, all kinds of shots where I was in my palm and touching other things. I always thought it was the memory of the hand, until I knew it was lying on the pillow next to the body, I suddenly remembered that it is said that when you lose part of your body, you will feel phantom limb pain. These shots are not only the memory of the hand, but also the body. .

It's so sad, thanks to the director for giving the boy the scene of jumping over at the end, I don't want to go into it, I'd be so desperate if something happened to him
