How come there are always some popular movies, they are destined to be very small, but after watching it, it is difficult for a long time to calm down, so that there is the urge to watch it several times and recall N times.

This movie tells a story, but it is more like a fable, an ecological philosophy of a small society.

Human nature has many beautiful things, truth, goodness, and beauty, especially in the context of fairy tales or religious sublimation. But human nature has always had a sinister, degenerate, terrifying, and trembling side.

Everyone is selfish in the end, and extreme self-interest is fully demonstrated in this movie. There is no good person in this movie.

Grace is a snake-hearted, she is always played by men, raped and occupied by her biological father, and her biological mother is framed to death by her biological father. After all this happened to her, it was impossible to trust anyone in her life. Her purpose in life has always been to want to fly, to leave this terrible place, to escape from this vicious environment. In this way, you can understand her backlash, hot and cold, change your mind at the moment, and put a secret arrow behind her back. She doesn't trust any man, but she wants to use the man's hand to achieve her goal. And the means and way of this is to use one's own beauty.

Bobby is also desperado. He has loan sharks on his back and has no fixed job, and his girlfriends have abandoned him one by one, and his life is in a mess. He would also kill for money, and forget the promise he just made because of his lust for beauty. In the wilderness, I want to leave behind his girlfriend who just eloped with him.

But such men and women are normal social ecology. In the face of interests, conscience and reason must give way. As long as they survive, they can do anything. So Dell, the car repairer who sits on the floor, looks silly, but he is always taking advantage of others. The homeless old man who wears black glasses and pretends to be blind to confuse people, they all use a light-hearted appearance. Cover up their true purpose; the women in the small town seem to be very slutty, seducing strangers, including the proprietress of the beverage shop; the young girl, between the ruffian boyfriend and Bobby, is also familiar with the face-to-face set. Set tricks... Honesty doesn't seem to make any sense here.

Even the only character with a bright spot for justice, the town sheriff, seems to have a wonderful family. But he also cheated on Grace with his wife behind his back, and secretly discussed elopement and escaped here. He was also bewildered by beauty and lost his mind.

In the face of such a terrible reality, a person can do anything to protect himself. Faced with the jealousy, suspicion and control of men, women want to gain pitiful freedom; men do not hesitate to kill their wives and daughters for money and treachery. Such things are actually happening every day in the corners of the world. Everyone is trapped in their own destiny. When there is no escape, when there is nowhere to go, they can only protect themselves desperately. The selfish background of life is Exposed.

In the workplace where every word must be said carefully, in the interpersonal circle where the interest chain is intertwined, aren't we all such small roles? We will also be Grace, and we will become Jack, Dale or Bobby.
