The plot of the film is very cleverly designed. The process of finding the son does not have the same subtle clues as a detective film. Just halfway through the show, the identity of the son who has not been seen in 50 years is confirmed, and he is found dead; the second half Cheng Ze also enriched his son's image by visiting people around him. The audience slowly got to know little Anthony along with the old lady's footsteps, and their mood fluctuated together; Avoid excessive sadness and criticism.
Director Stephen Frears has directed the Queen, and he also collaborated with Judi Dench on a "Mrs. Henderson Presents" (Mrs. Henderson Presents) before, which is also a good "old lady" story. Judi Dench is no longer a queen, a rich widow, or a secret agent boss this time, but an old Irish lady who reads clichéd romance novels, has never eaten a hotel buffet breakfast, and refers to herself as Ann Boleyn. In fact, we can't imagine what it is like to miss the lost son for 50 years, and we can't imagine the feeling of standing in front of the window and the fence watching the son go away again. Na's hesitation and determination, forbearance and forgiveness, once again made us warm and moved.
The end of the journey to find the son returned to the monastery. The reporter quoted Eliot as saying: the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time; Lomena said: He knew I'd find him here - in fact, she always knew everything about her son.
