It's too long to write a short review, don't look at me

Not quite as expected, too good to be normal, not too good, and the protagonist's lifestyle and attitude are too far away from me. The family planning part is good, but the portrayal of the laid-off part is much worse than "Blizzard is coming". In this bland narrative style, there are still some parts that shake the soul. The gift of fate, hit the ground in one shot. The male protagonist chose to give up this gift, accept the established destiny, and stick to his code of conduct, but in fact, he had already broken his code of conduct before that, or in other words, he had fulfilled Jasmine's delusions. The wife is also fulfilling her husband in her own way. The attitude is given, but the method is not necessarily the right one. Another place that shocked me was that the protagonist husband and wife knew the cause of their son's death for a long time. Haohao's inner confession, the perpetrator suddenly turned into a victim, the object became the subject, and the original victim turned from the subject to the object. Perhaps the person who chooses to forgive is the more morally arrogant party. In fact, when I saw the middle and second sections, I thought that the movie did not meet expectations, and I was looking forward to a leopard tail ending. There is indeed no disappointment here. The ending was handled very well, and the loss of the mulberry elm in the east has restored the overall impression. One of the functions of the movie is to let us peek into the ways of living that we would never be able to do ourselves.

    Accept life, accept fate, and work hard to move forward. The people of the previous generation were really forbearing and helpless, but they still chose to be generous. Although the final ending is a bit happy, but Liu Xing's sentence that my father, I am a star, is my biggest tear. What about positive and negative life, it is good to live, and the stars are still there. (But I still feel that three hours is a bit too long. In fact, sometimes it is a technique to cut it properly (the voice of the stars is really nice)

    Thirty years later, another "Alive"! Definitely the best film at the Berlin Film Festival!
