There is no superman in the world, there are only ordinary people like you and me

This movie is very flat, like a cup of boiled water, without too many ups and downs, but our life is not like a cup of boiled water, there are no ups and downs in our life, and there are not so many adventures.

We are ordinary people, we do not have seventy-two changes, we will not step on somersaults, and we will be 108,000 miles in one turn. When we encounter things, we may not necessarily be better than them, maybe we are not as good as them.

This movie is very real, and the aura of the protagonist is removed, which makes people who are used to watching American blockbusters feel uncomfortable, feel that the protagonist is useless, and feel that they can't watch it, but on the contrary, such a movie is more like life, more like life.
