raw power of life

After watching the movie for two days, I recorded my first impression:

1. Opening shot - chased and fell into the water, was rescued without a word of thanks. (This is the opening title that I can recall very rarely, if not the only one, probably because there is no nonsense, straight to the point, impressive)

2. The four men I met

- a liar

- A star: high street adventures, the disparity of identities, dreaming in the bathroom of the big mansion.

- A man who rescued the cavemen: She thanked the cavemen who were rescued and said her real name. (She didn't thank her for being rescued, she just wanted to find the other party, ask the question, and settle the account)

- Another liar: cheated on everything, cheated on money, cheated on the house (the only safe haven and pride), cheated on the longing for love, hope for a new life.

3. Go out of the forest, wander aimlessly in the crowd, dry your tears, and smile at the camera.

In the film, she was hated by the audience (me), understood, distressed, and blessed.

A street girl from a humble background, without hypocrisy or cover-up, dare to love and hate, use primitive life energy and tenacious life force to deal with everything in front of her. Whether it's a liar (not even a heartbreaker) or an adventure, she frankly deals with it in her own way. Effortless, but exhausted,

But the most amazing thing is that every time, she was successfully reborn. In my opinion, the definition of successful rebirth is smiling and having hope.

There is also an impressive segment in the movie, that is, "The Suffering of Everyone". A sea of ​​people prayed and prayed, hoping for redemption.

She has been taking risks all her life, not knowing what kind of people she will need, not knowing what path she will take, but I know that she will continue to be strong and full of desire for love.
