I don't know if there is a novel in this film. I feel that the original novel should be good. The whole story is really interesting.

From a little boy in the neighborhood, the story is enlarged to the interests of the entire city, so it is very interesting in terms of storytelling.

It's still very interesting to manage the overall story by itself, but the director is not very good at telling stories and loves to express himself too much.

Storytelling passes, first of all not skill, but simple and direct.

The stalk of American films growing up by killing fathers and mothers is really nothing new.
