This 2 hours and 45 minutes of life, which took 12 years to shoot, does not show off skills, does not preach, and is not hypocritical.
The parents inside are also bumping and bumping all the way, not only can't tell the truth, but also can't live their own life well. Not living happily, nor casually. Being recorded by the camera is like a pointless hurry.
It's such a film that seems to have nothing to say, but it is so familiar with the style of "talk about nothing than anything", which is very appealing to me.
A mother who has been divorced several times cried sadly when she said goodbye to her son to go to college and sold the big house, saying that all the milestones in her life were over, such as marriage, divorce, degree, work, sending off a pair of children to college, and then, again All that was left to arrange was his own funeral. The son looked at her inexplicably: "Mom, have you fast-forwarded 40 years." I don't know why, but I couldn't help myself laughing. How frustrating if your life is just a rush to the end.
Time is eternal, and seriously, only every moment is true.
