Human, too human.

Compared to "Crash" and "Babel", this film deserves an Oscar. The camera keeps traversing in time, segmented and multi-perspective, telling you the story full of sadness, uncovering the bottom layer of the mystery, and piercing your heart bit by bit, no matter your religion, Skin color, age, are enough to shock your soul.
There are too many places to feel, too many places to develop associations, and too many places to be constantly tortured by the director. Morality, what is morality, is morality the established and consensus value standard in the secular world? In the face of human nature, all moral standards appear so pale and cruel. Atonement, just repentance can wash away the stains of the soul? Is living a life of lost souls like a walking dead the only way to atone? Maybe, Mickey in "Born to Kill" is right, "Everyone has a demon in their heart, and only love can kill the demon."
This tragedy is to slowly make something that could be so beautiful slowly. Destruction is for you to see, and from time to time a warm concoction is added. There is a touch of sadness everywhere. If you look at it according to the so-called "correct outlook on life", then you will not know what to say. can not explain. The birth of man is the beginning of a tragedy, and the fate of the individual seems to be insignificant, just a little aesthetic game of God.
Perhaps as Nietzsche said, "God is dead, so everything can happen".
We have to stand in the perspective of human nature and re-examine all values.
