It seems difficult to watch this kind of straightforward, no mainline, no climax movie without patience, compressing the family's more than ten years into a three-hour movie, and directly unfolding the growth process of a little boy. The most awesome thing about this film is that the director really spent 12 years to shoot the real character growth. If you are patient, you can experience the traces of the years in detail.
Time is undoubtedly the theme of this film. Everyone looks back on the past and feels that time is like an arrow, but time is constant, and grasping time is a false proposition. Those who try to grasp time are ultimately grasped by time.
