Some people are alive, but he is dead

Although this film is suspenseful, it has American black humor; the film seems to be a plot of some small characters, but it tells a lot of truth. Little people make sense.

The hostess reported to the police because her home was stolen, but the police station was unwilling to accept it. Does this also reflect the inability of the government departments in this country. In the supermarket, shoppers accidentally drop things and won't pick them up; neighbors' cold eyes on the stolen hostess's house all reflect the impersonality of this society and this country.

But these people seem to be normal, but the male lead, her neighbor's seemingly abnormal little people, can understand and support her, and even give her his life.

The hostess of the rich man's house at the back of the movie knows that they are not police, but invites them to come in and chat because it is too boring to be alone at home. Here also shows that the division of social classes is also obvious. The hostess who has no money will look around for losing the relics left by her grandmother, and this wealthy family wasted by sitting on most of the good resources of the society and ended up in such a miserable end.

Just like the sentence "Some people are dead, but he is still alive, and some people are alive but he is dead."

On the other hand, I think the movie can also be viewed from a more positive perspective. It means that no matter how fucking life is, as long as you work hard to live, life will be full of hope.
