scorched earth of time

I think when a person is moved by something, a lot of times, it touches your "past".
I believe that in many experiences, people have no space, only time. We always like to believe that time can change many things. In fact, time has never really erased anything.

"BOY A" is a film that is as cold and quiet as time, although there was warmth and hope in it. The protagonist is so cowardly and simple, and because he has a criminal record of juvenile homicide, his heart is extremely complicated, and he can be played without pretentiousness. Boy A, seems to be trying to get in as much as possible (the flurry after unintentionally taking ecstasy may be the only release that I didn't want to have), but in the rhythm of the story, the cold sadness spreads out like a sea of ​​suffocating— —Like the boy's final destination.
Regarding time and the past, Boy A's sorrow may be far from "regret" or "resentment". The latter is to the former like the wind blowing into the mountains. The "past" never belonged to him, but he belongs to the "past".
Who said - "My pain lies in the mortal struggle with the devil in my heart". In fact, even if the demon had already died in Boy A's body, he could not return to his former paradise. The battlefield was already in ruins, spreading farther than far, it was scorched black soil.
No more shouting, no venting, no more cynicism. I just want to build a hill with the black soil under my feet and build a castle by the sea. No, only one attic, ten square meters. Smile humbly and sincerely. The heroic act of the little girl who was rescued by him as an "angel" is just a testimony to make him more ordinary. At the last moment facing the sea, Boy A left a message to his friend: Remember that girl? The girl we rescued together, work. - He really once lived in the crowd. Love "Father", love friends, love Michelle.
In this world, some people are powerful and some people are weak. In this regard, I do not know whether "time" has paid attention.
