It turns out that we are all looking for a reason to live

This is the last movie this year, and the first movie review. A very touching work, with very little dialogue, but it is vigorously sensational. Every character is plump and full of flesh and blood, which is why I like this work.

1. A traumatized killer, Joe has been conceiving his suicide scenes from start to finish, but in reality, he lives by "supporting his mother". However, because of a mission, the mother was killed. After performing this task-to rescue the little girl nina-became his last long-cherished wish.

2. The killer sent to kill Joe's mother. After he was seriously injured, he did not drag his body to escape to the door, but crawled into the kitchen where Jeo was. Jeo asked him: Where are you going? He stopped and lay on his back. Joe took him a painkiller and asked what was going on. The killer told Jeo exactly what happened. A conscientious killer, unable to disobey the order for some reason, hopes to get the "salvation" of his conscience at the last moment. He finished speaking, humming a song, holding Joe's hand, and slowly dying. Joe lies on his other side. They stood side by side, they held hands, they were all killers.

3. Nina, a minor, a beautiful blond girl, the daughter of a congressman. In the mouth of her father, a girl who became rebellious because of her mother's death. However, she was a "senior prostitute" who was betrayed and sold herself early. Jeo's first rescue opened up Nina's desire to survive. Nina, who had been silent for a long time, finally knew how to call for help when she was taken away again: save me, Jeo. save me!

4. When Jeo rushed to Nina again, he cried. He found that 14-year-old Nina was covered in blood, but was eating gorgingly, as if it had been a long, long time to eat. Jeo knelt on the ground, crying, as if begging for forgiveness for "coming one step late". Nina stopped eating, turned her head, looked at her, and said softly: it's ok Joe. it's ok. In a few words, Joe got the first redemption in his life. His "Late Arrival" caused his mother to die, and this time when he thought he was "late" again, Nina appeared to save him who was desperate.

5. At the end, Jeo tells Nina that he doesn't know what to do next. Nina got up. He thought that nina had left, and began to fantasize about his death again. Nian went to the bathroom and came out and patted Jeo on the head: let's go, wherever. Caring girls, people and people walk together, not by blood, but by perceiving each other's destiny to be the same. Just like two stray dogs, it is better to have company than to be abandoned.

(The film review should be kept as short as possible, leaving out details, hoping to leave some suspense for those who haven't watched it yet.)
