If our conscience conflicts with our beliefs.

This is my first movie review, every time I watch a movie that touches my soul, I live with the shadow of the movie for a long time.
For me, this is the charm of the film. The positive, enlightened or heavy-handedness created in the film will pull the viewer's senses and then send people back to reality at the end of the play.
Humans are captivating, and in order to find the intimacy of this feeling, we will uncontrollably introduce our own real experiences into the plot, those past, present, or future visions. Once a movie has been mapped to you, these sensory, auditory and inner feedbacks will be the most coherent moving experience in the movie viewing process.
The movie "Water" started out for Lisa, a savior in my overly lost phase. It's no exaggeration to say that, I really can't think of any more words to describe her influence on me. If she once described herself as "a pirate on the mainland, almost forgetting the call of the sea" during her illness, then to me now she is a vast and tolerant sea, which has captured my heart beyond the sails question.
However, at the end of the whole film, what really broke through the tear glands was Didi's final awakening and conscience waving.
"Everything is the fault of an illusion" and when she began to desire as a "widow", it was not "all blindness" as Brahma said.
This is a burst of awakening under the backlog of thousands of miles of dark clouds,

and this burst is a cultural revolution, a struggle for rights, and an endless yearning for freedom.

(I prefer the Chinese title translation of "Water" to carry everything, take everything away, and have the power to resist and devour everything in silence, as the whole film conveys.)
