An old-fashioned story, the plot is not complicated, but this film involving many factors of family, family, crime and derailment reflects human nature everywhere.
The title of the three monkeys is a metaphor for the weakness of human nature, which is revealed in survival and life.
In an ordinary middle and lower-class family, the father of the company boss and driver, for the money and the boss, replaced the boss in a car accident that caused death by driving and served 9 months in prison. The son did not go to college and wandered around. When his mother asked for a job, he wanted to buy a car and make a taxi, and asked his mother to ask the boss for money. Because the boss has to pay the father's replacement fee, but there won't be so much, the mother got the money to buy the car after committing adultery at the boss's request for her son. The son found out about his mother's adultery, blaming his mother but not telling his father.
After his father was released from prison, he found out that he had borrowed money to buy a car and made unreasonable phone calls between his wife and his boss, and suspected the relationship between his wife and his boss. Even so, the wife did like the boss, but the boss thought it was over and resented her entanglement. The son killed the boss, and the father paid an orphan from a hotel to replace him for his son.
The story does not show the details one by one, but extracts the key psychological reactions, expresses it with performance rather than voice, and the rhythm and expression are very distinctive, and the language of the camera is also good.
Human nature cannot be tested. Under certain circumstances, people will return to the nature of monkeys.
