Another Douban-style high-scoring rotten film!

Many people say that they are depressing after watching it, and they are indeed depressing and even angry after watching it. Is it okay to waste more than an hour on a bad movie (personal point of view)? In fact, I felt bored when I saw it halfway through, but because I read the comments that the last 20 minutes was the essence, I just finished it. Maybe the director himself wants to express something deeper, and the way of expression is quite special (the editing is very characteristic), but the expression is very unsuccessful. As a movie, it has lost most of its due attributes, and it is quite appropriate to compress it into an anti-drug propaganda film.
