DETAIL MEANS LOT

I always think that the plot of a good movie should be natural, without any far-fetched arrangements, showing that fate guides the movie rather than the movie guides the fate. The establishment of the oath of this film is based on the mother’s tears and the compulsive "YOU PROMISE TO" ME? YOU PROMISE TO MY DAUGHTER IN FRONT OF LORD?" The mother holding a cross and asking questions step by step completely subverted the weak and crying image before. At that moment, the old police didn't need to agree, and there was no reason to agree. He just I can promise that I can do my best, but no one can promise that I can really find the murderer, and a veteran policeman for many years should know the difference between these. Anyway, the narration and shots of the film are very capable and clear, Sean Pan style.
