Really awesome, best of the year. At first, I used smashed glass to outline a character, and then two anatomical dialogues directly grabbed the intellectual's seven inches. The film started very well, but at this time I still felt that the music seemed to be too loud, and then my wife visited the tenants to three. The discussion of that part after people are drunk will undoubtedly make the film's thinking space larger, and the embellishment of the last few scenes makes the film more poetic, and the understanding of music suddenly becomes clearer! !
