like news in a newspaper

The story is simply that the old man spends money and the support girl goes to serve, which is an equal exchange. Dating girl, choose not to see grandma, choose to cheat boyfriend, but get paid through work, it is an equal exchange of selling body and morality for money (equal in her opinion, because the boss does not force her to go, if she feels not You can not go, or you can meet your grandma at the train station). Boys want to get the pure love of girls, but there is no money to exchange, so they can't get it.
Older people, who live affluent lives, are accustomed to using their experience to deal with social affairs, and they are not so urgent about work. Saying "Slow things go smoothly", with his own way of dealing with the rapidly changing society, he thinks that everything is under control. So he was urgently urged by the car whistle behind him.
The impulsive young man, when he learned that he was cheated, became angry and lost his mind.
The young woman who supported her was forced to be unable to see her grandmother, and was beaten severely by her boyfriend. Facing her boyfriend, she also felt ashamed and couldn't raise her head. It seems that being a dating girl is not something that is widely accepted by Japanese society. It's a matter of moral criticism.
The director did not take sides, he just recorded everything as if he was holding a DV. Stories are like news in a newspaper. A phenomenon of modern Japanese society is recorded. "How should the support girl deal with work and life." The
story does not have a movie-like ending. It is conceivable that the old man thought he was right and made up a lot of lies, and he got himself into a quagmire, and the evening was not guaranteed. Girls lose boyfriends, continue or stop the job. Boys, angry and angry, hating this society and the old people with vested interests.
It seems that the conclusion is that these three people seem to have become victims.
Can the final answer only be "this ruthless society"? In a society where everything is clearly priced, can human nature and morality really be labeled and sold? In other words, it is very fair in this society. As long as you want to get what you need, you can exchange it with what you have.

    There aren't many stories, it's all about the state of the characters, five phone messages and the tearful eyes that circle the square one more time. The tiniest details are magnificent. All the elaborate illusions are as shattered as the last smashed window, and the truth is that we are all extremely vulnerable. But even so, Abbas is still gentle, narrating the warmth of this encounter

    The plot and the relationship between the characters are tense movies. The sound and picture of the two long scenes are intertwined and interesting, and the usual tools such as cars and window glass reflections are reproduced. Personally, I think the richness is not as good as "Reproduction as it is". Describing the ignorance and stupidity of girls is a bit too much. It is said to be a tribute to Ozu again. In a capitalized society, old people have the resources to enjoy their young bodies, young people have no resources and have to sell their bodies, and young working-class men have to be hysterical...
