no morals

The whole film is filled with indifference and distortion. Indifference to sons, indifference to mothers, indifference to fathers, indifference to ex-husbands, indifference to girlfriends. I don't care that my son needs a family, I don't care that my mother needs warmth, I don't care that my father needs forgiveness, I don't care that my ex-husband needs achievement, and I don't care that my girlfriend needs loyalty. There is only one and only oneself, the only one who must satisfy all of his own desires. He has never considered other people's feelings at all. It seems warm, but in fact it is only selfish. Since his father's accomplice, his soul has been distorted, his psychology has been abnormal, a typical anti-social personality, there is no right or wrong, only ego. When I was a child, I would pretend to be innocent afterwards and get the pity of others, but I actually enjoyed it. Aunt Yu's performance was very good, her indifferent and empty eyes, and the smile that crossed the corner of the mouth of the next-door old king before he fell down, all of them were indifferent.
