just so wrong...

The part of the film that touched me the most was the debate between Patrick and the Inspector about Amanda's future. The director tried his best to argue for Patrick here, at least to make the audience feel that Patrick himself had a good reason to make such a choice, I just want to say that although there was such a momentary touch, I can't forgive Patrick's decision.

Looking at the characters themselves, Patrick seems to think that Amanda will grow up to question him about a happier life without his mother. However, I don't know if he ever thought about how he would feel about being a kid growing up in a rotten life when he learned that he could have lived a happier life, the crux of the problem seems to be, if Amanda stayed in With her mother by her side, she had no way of knowing that she had a chance to live a better life, and she couldn't question Patrick because of it. Patrick is intelligent, decisive, and principled, but in my opinion, it is really sad. He would rather carry deep remorse and guilt into the coffin than face a girl who questioned him. Shouldn't a man of flesh and blood endure such questioning for the well-being of a child? Obviously, he had no idea what was going on in the heart of a child who grew up in a desolate and depraved environment. They questioned the injustice of God, hated their own circumstances, would rather trade their non-biological parents for a better life but wept because they didn't even have a choice for their own parents. Obviously, in this story, the choice is in Patrick's hands, but all of this is beyond Patrick's comprehension, and I think that's the only way a person can ruin a child's life so calmly and never understand How wrong he was. Yeah, even if he regrets it for the rest of his life, deep down he feels that he had to do so at that moment.

But the movie itself may be so thought-provoking because of this setting. As the footage in the film's finale makes clear, Patrick, for his supposed principles, makes a choice that haunts him with guilt and guilt soon after. This is an explanation to the audience. But left endless regret and heavy.

So, from a movie point of view, I think the story is excellent. But being there, I hated Patrick from the bottom of my heart.
