◎Brief review of the film The
country is easy to change and its nature is hard to change. This is the motto summed up by our ancestors. But is this really the case? Maybe not. The discussion of whether human nature is inherently evil or inherently good will continue for thousands of years. This film may give us an answer.
When we face a sinner, how should we face him? How should we look at his past sins? In fact, if you think about it carefully, many people will be confused. Is it because they firmly believe that Jiangshan will always hate and spurn him? Or do you think that making a mistake doesn't mean you should be forever hated, but should be forgiven? None of us know because we don't believe in human nature.
This is an ordinary movie, it is so simple that it makes people feel that there is no color, but this "spiritual black and white" can also shock people. The director tells it like he is telling a bedside story to a child, some of which make you feel nuanced and sweet, but also that glimmer of sunshine and subtle hope.

The screenwriter carefully separates the emotions in the original work, strips them layer by layer, and then enlarges them one by one through special techniques. With director John Crowley miraculously controlling the overall emotional outburst, reconciled with the rare starring of the male protagonist Andrew Garfield, it can be said that this film has been perfect in all aspects. Just like the child who can see the dead in "The Sixth Sense", a character with a huge psychological shadow is a challenge for any actor, "Boy A" is usually shy and sensitive, kind and curious about everything , carefully hiding the shadows of his past. Andrew Garfield portrays this complex character without any trace, and his natural and unpretentious performance makes people move. This kind of performance allows the audience to follow the film to experience the pure human nature of "Boy A", as well as the completely different mental transitions at each stage. At the same time, it is precisely the portrayal of such characters that makes the ending of the film even more heartbreaking and shocking. And for this question, we will continue to discuss it until...
