After watching the interview, I suddenly realized what I had vaguely felt before. This film is not only in the story, temperament, style, but also in processing, shaping, and expression. It has a deep relationship with Malik, and to a certain extent inherits the horse-style naturalism and hometown sentiment. According to the director, this long-planned work tries to show a kind of horse-like truth and nostalgia, and this kind of truth and nostalgia cannot be successfully grasped without real emotional precipitation. Nichols, I know very well what this precipitation is. Therefore, even the most common expressions, or the most realistic interpretations of children, can contain the most subtle feelings. This is the emotional resonance of Malick. , and most impressive. Compared with the publicity and deliberateness presented in "The Beast of the Southern Kingdom", it reveals a more calm and free will. In addition, as two scripts completed at the same time, "Seeking Asylum" and "Sludge" present completely different temperaments and two completely different themes. According to the director, these are the manifestations of his two different mentalities. One represents thinking about the present, the other represents nostalgia for the past; and we might as well consider this as his tribute to two film themes, one is Hitchcock-like sensitivity and worry, the other It is the simplicity and uninhibitedness of Malik. Therefore, I have high expectations for what Nichols, who has succeeded in inheriting the master's character and skillfully expressing his emotions, can bring us next.

The smooth and solid script, the poetic rhythm, and the picturesque scenes, each frame of the picture reveals a unique feeling. Both Ellis and Mud have fallen into their own fantasy of love. They did not hesitate to make mistakes and go crazy for them. In the end, they saw through their own traps and set off on the next journey of life. Mud reminds me of Stand By Me. Both of them revolve around the theme of "growth". The former is about love and the latter is about courage.
