An American Crime

I wanted to see this movie for a long time, but it didn't arrive, so I only saw it last night.

It was quite shocking, I was very depressed when I watched it, a little crazy, and my heartbeat kept accelerating.

I feel that the reason why the film is so oppressive is that the important point is that the film never breaks out of hysteria, but is unusually calm, a kind of abnormal rationality. This kind of abnormal emotion is presented in the movie, but it is magnified in your heart to the point of distortion and struggle.

Looking back on life, we are just walking in such a siege, unable to escape some kind of entanglement with human nature. After watching the movie, I feel the powerlessness of the individual more deeply. It seems that we can never escape, and we are just drifting in a chain.

And some things are inescapable, all we have to do is to go far beyond, to cross at a transcendent height, and look down calmly.

So, we look down, we go beyond...

In addition, the acting skills of the actors in the film are amazing. And Catherine Keener is even more unsurpassable. She is stunned, stunned, and can be freely retracted, wandering between the sins of mother's love in her heart.

    Human nature is so ugly, so ugly, in order to vent one's own pressure, and blame all the guilt on others, everyone is like this, everyone is lying, for their own sake, one has one lie, even to let Sylvia came to believe that this is all out of motherly love, tmd, this inhumane family! The whole family deserves to be imprisoned and executed. Ling Chi is no exaggeration!
