    The author's style: the use of space in the car; the first fixed-camera dual camera; multiple voiceovers; perspective shading and conversion completed with the help of external objects; the scenery flowing with the car when listening to the message. Continuing the theme of virtual and real identity, with the change of the physical scene, the transformation of the physical role is completed without leaving a trace. Identity is constructed rather than essential, so I can be anyone. Modernization is the meeting of strangers. The scene of turning off the lights is very contagious.

    Although Abbas still accurately calculates sensibility, I still watch the input. The ambiguous emotional states of the old and the young are gradually stripped away from their respective original purposes, and although they are still strangers, they have become a potentially interdependent real state. The ending failed. The film should have ended when the girl sat on the steps and listened to her aunt's nagging with an imperceptible smile. Takanashi Lin is very good, and he couldn't have played it more properly in the state of the old man's house.
