beautiful mistake

After watching the 2 hours and 20 minutes, I honestly feel that Javier Bardem did present a top-level performance, although he lost the Oscar in the end to my favorite Mr Darcy. The skills are very strong, and the spirit of a low-level social figure who is willing to take responsibility for his family, his children, and his subordinate Chinese and African illegal workers in the last few months of his life infiltrates from his daily trivial whereabouts, actions and eyes. Although he also made mistakes in this process, he had a clear conscience when he tried his best, so from the moment of his life to his death, he saw the father he had never met, and he was finally relieved and left with peace of mind.
When I watched "Babel Tower" a few years ago, I didn't think it was very good. The segmented plot was deliberately strung together with several identical characters, and it still felt trivial and messy. Now the same director, although the clues are more confusing, but Harvier wanders around the corners of the bottom floor of Barcelona, ​​with tension and relaxation, everything revolves around him, which is very good. Especially the inverted beginning of the snow in the forest at the end does not make people feel abrupt, as if a condensed summary of his life, put it at the beginning to give people a preliminary impression, it feels good.
Although the whole film is also about Barcelona, ​​and the male protagonist is the same, but compared with "Midnight Barcelona", it is really different from heaven and hell.
The soundtrack is very good, there are not many places, but it is very delicate, the more elegant piano sound appears in the darker plot, the effect of contrast is self-evident.
The only thing that is uncertain is the same-sex plot of two Chinese men, what is the purpose?

Although wrong, he is not ashamed of his life.
