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.

    Who wants to take drugs after watching this film, I give him five stars

    Is my requirement for common sense too high? No matter how good the editing and music are, it can't conceal the essence of an anti-drug propaganda film. Drug contamination and family destruction is inherently a strong causal relationship, and the despair brought about by this can be expected in itself. Formalism is an exquisite fabrication, especially when there is no substance.
