Small comment

The main line is the relationship between the father and the son, and at the same time reflects the purpose of each person's existence and the relationship between people, forming a metaphysical discussion, what is the purpose of human life?
In the basic narrative, it is a bit like prose poetry, indifferent to ordinary times, so the narrative plot is very slow, give a point, and then analyze the comment. The whole color has an upward momentum in the loss.
But the things touched are always quite satisfactory, so the final benefit and plot are not very strong, and as a family-oriented movie, it can't earn many tears from the audience, which is really average.

Seriously ill father, heroin, filial son offering last comfort to father, lost religion, student with money to see teacher
