Highly refined and pure narrative, clean shots, Phoenix wandering between fantasy and reality.

The director's storytelling skills cannot be underestimated.

The music is the highlight, the off-screen soundtrack and the in-painting ambient sound are all integrated with the connotation of the scene.

Mother killed, girl not found, in-painting music

"I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me"

Found the house where the girl was tied

Music from "Angel baby, Is just like heaven"

The angel who rescued him appeared and made him feel like heaven.

Uncle Phoenix's original purpose was to rescue the little girl, but at the end of the film, the rescued girl also rescued him and released his soul. The last imaginary suicide by swallowing a gun seems to be the same as the one who has been immersed in childhood in the past. Say goodbye to yourself in the shadows, and everything to come is as beautiful as heaven.

    Is there a killer, warm? The story of the extreme clichés, all kinds of flashbacks to the source of childhood shadows intermittently reveal the reasons for the male protagonist's strange behavior, it is not so cliché, but it always feels very similar to Refn's drive

    Lynne Ramsay really isn't like your typical female director. Everything from the soundtrack to the photography is a bit reminiscent of Drive, but much more powerful. Jia Kun's acting skills are nothing to say! (vegan can also be very brutal, okay?
