After watching the film for a long time, I realized that the background of the story is Spain.
Small, cluttered rooms, crowded basements, and dark tones throughout. Who would have thought that this is a warm, romantic Barcelona.
First time watching a film directed by Gonzalez. At first it felt too loose and too broken. After reading it, pull it again, all the details are clear. (It’s a small waste who can’t remember names, so I refer to the full text by identity (it’s the bright spot in the early morning, I’m afraid of losing it)

The protagonist, a psychic, connects life and death, other people's, and his own.
He cared about the business, helping blacks and yellows. Although they are illegal immigrants, they are not doing anything legal.
They also attach importance to the dead, but they have not fulfilled their wishes with their abilities.

The main line of the story is clear and revolves around the male protagonist.
The male protagonist has an ex-wife: bipolar disorder, and should have sex addiction; two children: a sensible daughter, and a lively and lovely son; a brother: a shrewd and somewhat treacherous businessman. There is also a woman, who should be his mother, who is supposed to be the source of his psychic abilities.
He also has two friends.
A Chinese: On the surface, it is the processing of handbags, but in fact, it is doing piracy and smuggling. He has a friend who loves him very much. Some people think that this relationship is superfluous, but it is not.
The other is a black man who sells pirated copies. He has a wife and a child.

The title of the film comes from when the male bishop and the female write the words, they write beautiful as biutiful
I think it is also a metaphor for the male protagonist who wants to help the smuggled group of Chinese people, but accidentally kills them in the end.
There is no beauty in stories about those twisted human nature, those who struggle at the bottom. There is only wrong.
When observing the group of bodies. There is a figure on the ceiling. Many people say that it is the black wife, but it is actually the male protagonist himself. The male protagonist's psychic ability connects his own life and death. So in the film, we can still find some details: when the male protagonist looks in the mirror, the shadow movements are inconsistent with him.
The black man was arrested, and the male protagonist took care of his wife and children. Before he was about to die, he gave all the money to the black wife, and wanted her to take care of the children. After all, there have been many clips before that show that his ex-wife is unreliable. However, this black wife ran away with the money...
About the superfluous relationship of the Chinese people, it is to explain why the Chinese people later killed the man who loved him. Betrayed by a loved one, it is inevitable to make extreme actions.

The story begins with the two people in the bed and the snow, and ends with these two episodes. This is a kind of reincarnation. Two episodes, three generations. One is his daughter and the other is his deceased father.
It doesn't matter what the meaning of the snow and the diamond ring is.
But the heavy thinking about human nature brought by this story has been pressing in my heart.
