Said to be "rewinding life" is actually recorded that BC started from meeting Stuart. Interested to learn, to go deep inside... The only ambush trick in the play is that Stewart's childhood encounters have been hidden all the time. On that very early tape, Stewart had already talked about his childhood. This story ignores the concept of time. All they know is that it was seven months after they met the head of the charity, when Stewart was hospitalized. The time since then until his death and the publication of his new book is unknown.
I think the audio-visual borrowed a little technique from the documentary to restore the truth of the incident, and added the conversation clips of the mother, sister, and maternal grandparents. However, these uses are very restrained, and try not to formalize the film too heavily. The purpose is to tell a story.
The performances of the two actors were excellent.
The last dialogue is very emotional. BC asked Stewart what he would most like to change if he could? Stewart replied: You can't do that, you can't put it all on one thing, blame him for all the problems... that's probably what it means. This in itself is already an excellent answer. We like to find the initial "point" for the present so much that it seems like it can solve the problem. But maybe it is we who have created our present, not a point, but we keep making our choices. If there is no point, maybe we will still be what we are now. Is this dissatisfaction with the present? Later BC must have asked Stewart to find one thing, so Stewart replied: the moment he found violence. This sentence sublimates his character and sublimates the theme of the film. This evil one lives not only in him, but in every human being.
Very very good drama!
