Too Oscar. I felt like I was in the same situation as I was watching Schindler's list again.
I liked the handheld cam and the closeup in the film when I ran away from my parents. It may be one of the few places in the film that uses the camera instead of the plot to advance the emotion. What differentiates film from theater is its unique language. How to speak through the lens is a compulsory course for every director. Before coming into contact with such realistic themes, the director should clarify his identity and honestly face the premise and fact that the film cannot reproduce reality, but can only build a sense of reality, and Trying to resonate perceptually rather than visually, in other words, all I can feel when watching the film is how the director is tear gas trying to force "reality" into the audience's head, not the concept of reality.

There is also a big problem: I don’t understand whether the director is trying to minimize self-involvement to strive for objectivity/realistic, or is he expressing his own understanding and appeal to such social issues, but in any case, the whole film has been devoted to The confrontation created, the tripartite relationship between the boy and his parents and society, the irony that people cannot exist outside of paper documents, and the influence of religion on people's consciousness, was quickly reconciled in the last few minutes, and it was written off. The boy gets his birth certificate and breaks with his mother, the black woman finds her son, the boy's parents are still happily pregnant with their next child, these painstakingly constructed questions, injustice, grievances, anger, have not been Extending to a higher level, but limited to a few characters in the film, all unresolved issues in the whole film have disappeared, and the individual suffering seems to have been resolved. This idealized ending betrayed the director, making it only stay at the height of the Chong Austrian movie, "suffering in this ending has become an exquisite prop."
If we cannot contend with suffering, we must at least retain the awareness of questioning and confrontation. Problems that cannot be solved in reality should not be easily manipulated and played with in movies. Such an ending leaves the audience with the idea that "everything will be alright" as they walk out of the theater, allowing them to continue to feel good after a brief period of reflection. But they shouldn't think like that. No one should have such an idea until we struggle to the last minute with contemporary social issues.
