Recommended Star Rating: ★★★☆
An overall uncomfortable movie, but you can't ignore the loose ends The small touch brought by the picture.
The most memorable is a weak girl who taught her brother and sister how to use a shotgun, hunt, and defend herself. The six-year-old sister, with the help of her sister, pulled the trigger and shot down a squirrel.
The father mysteriously disappeared while on bail, much of which came from a mortgage on the family's only surviving house. The girl knew what was going on, and all she needed to do, and the only thing she could do, was to find her father, even his body, before she was kicked out of the house.
Because this family also has a mother who suffers from mental illness.
She went on this search in her own way.
Being stupid and even putting herself in danger is not personal heroism, just because that's the only way she can do it.
It's the atmosphere and the clumsy actions that make people uncomfortable, because this stupid way suddenly seems so close to oneself and so helpless.
As you can see on the internet, some people pour barrels of gasoline all over their bodies in order to defend their house, most likely the only place to live. Even if he knew it would be futile to do so, even if he knew it would not be possible to save their house in such a way that would inevitably lead to death, at a moment like this, it might have been the only option these people could make.
I have seen the video that my friend reposted on the Internet, and all that remains after watching it is heartache.
And this movie evoked this pain.
Realistic, the strong man who ignited himself ran all the way, and then fell heavily, closing his eyes tightly. I don't know what happened after that, and I can't possibly know.
