      Don't pretend to be noble, it's a garbage movie! Time cheating!

      First of all, the movie claims that horror movies are not scary at all! Lie to the audience!
      Then those big truths that take away children are good theories are all nonsense!
      Does the person who said these words have any children? Or are you cold-blooded?
      Is a child's success also related to the environment? That poor people don't have to have children
      ? Poor children are not good enough? This movie is utter rubbish!
      Damn, it's really hot! After watching the film, it...

      I read a lot of comments on this movie, and finally my own thoughts are: In

           a family, parents and parents have the greatest influence on their children. By precepts and deeds, the usual dealings with others will affect the child.

           So it's not that poverty or wealth are the main factors that determine the future of a child. How parents treat their children and what kind of growth environment they give them (people are always swayed by the environment) are the most...

      Silent Child: She has three mothers

      Perhaps it's the almost perfect contrast of Martyrs. In terms of sound effects, performance, plot and thought, this film disappointed me a bit.
      However, its concept is still interesting.


      Regarding this story, there are two perspectives of interpretation, fertility and life.

      If you are from the perspective of fertility, then undoubtedly, it seems to have become a bad movie about class, rich and poor. For example, rich people have the right to reproduce....

      Reversal play worth learning

      At the beginning of the film, a flashback portrays the image of a victim-Julia appeared in the hospital with wounds all over her body. At this time, the detective came over and said to her: "We didn't find them, nor did we find him. No other children can be found." ——Based on these clips, we naturally came up with a message: [This woman has just lost her child. Presumably these wounds were caused by prisoners, right? This mother is so pitiful. ] Then the camera returned to 36 hours ago, and...

      If you can't help, change it forcibly. This behavior is despicable and despicable, but it is also noble. It's a bit difficult to evaluate. Who is really good for the children? The birth mother is not as good as the human trafficker. "My first mother loves me, and I love her. My second mother loves me, and I love her. My third mother loves me, and I love her...
