Watch me

Halfway through the movie, I have been thinking about what the three stories have in common, until I know that at the end, the story will come to the same scene as the beginning, the writer is in a dim hotel room. A little boy's voice "Watch me" sounded faintly in his ears.
The story is probably about a writer who drowned his son unattended in a swimming pool because he answered a phone call from his lover.

The story is an
American costumed spy who meets a gypsy woman in a bar and ends up giving everything she can to save her daughter. I understand that this is the writer's hope, or a longing, that he will try his best to save his child, and finally the gypsy woman will come back to find the spy, and be willing to leave with him and say that there is no daughter. I think this daughter actually exists, because in the last shot of the two driving together, the woman gave a meaningful look to the back seat of the car. But in the end the car disappeared from the road. It can only be shown that this is just a beautiful fantasy of the writer.

Story 2
A woman who was unable to see her child because of an accidental injury to herself. Whenever she has the opportunity to see her children again, there are always situations that prevent her from doing what she wants. In the end, the ex-husband finally forgave her and called her home, but in the end the room was empty, and she had decided to give up and left with her luggage. Misunderstanding. The story shows that the writer has struggled with whether it was his own fault that killed the child. So when she saw her ex-husband again, the ex-husband kept asking her if she really hurt the child. In the final missed call, it was the writer who showed that it didn't matter whether it was his fault or not. The important thing is that he will never be able to see his children again.
Story Three The
writer wrote a book about his lover's adultery with his father and published it. This should be a punishment for a lover, but also a punishment for himself. The writer is contradictory, he loves his lover, and at the same time, it is the lover's phone call that causes him to lose his son. Write the story of the lover and his father, he knows that he will lose the lover forever, so this is the punishment for the lover, but also for himself.
The title translation is really ill-considered, and this is a good movie. The stories are told in multiple lines, but the three seemingly unrelated stories have given them a single soul in the last 10 minutes. The picture is also beautiful. I especially like the swivel shot of the costumed spy and the gypsy woman on the bed. Very beautiful.
The pace of the story is slow, and it is not easy to get into the story if you don't calm down quietly.

    Uncle Liam Neeson's accidental love movie during his action movie addiction is still the fantasy of men

    The story started from the heroine who accidentally injured the child and made me a little confused, and then I realized that these are novels by the author. Therefore, the translation of the title is completely off the track, which clearly means the third person. But all three stories have experienced pain, some with good endings, some with no results, and some with bad endings. After watching it, I still feel a bit brain-burning, and the director choreographed ingeniously. Although it is a male editor in chief, it should be based on his own real experience
