The director's attitude is not firm enough, and he is always struggling between discussion and expression. The ambivalence that he can't make a sense of reality and can't play literary and artistic style makes the whole play seem a little absent-minded.
The rhythm of the narrative is rhythmically pulled away by the incoherent editing, and the emotional tension is lost. Except for the realistic conflict scenes that can bring a certain visual impact, the whole film is basically scattered and dragging mediocre fragments.
In fact, the director with such a good theme should really put more effort into the screenwriting, less bloody pictures and more dramatic conflicts, less classic decryption and more emotional input, so that the film itself is more worthy of those beautiful and beautiful episodes.
