Throw the violence to the boy to the junior director

That's how Huihong is. The crazy Sam Pekin law made his movie role stubbornly fulfill an unclear wish, regardless of the result, just to make himself justifiable (or excuse himself).

But because of this stubbornness and the artist's dictatorship of rights, the magnificence of the film is doomed.

As for violence, that is the daily experience of children, and children are cruel. For example, the child who burns the scorpion and the ant at the beginning of the movie, and the boy who worships the dictator general and finally ends up the protagonist.

Then, let the violence belong to men, to all the descendants of Pekin Law, such as Leonne, Coppola, Oshima Morro, Kitano Takeshi, Wu Yusen and so on.
