no one knows

Such a cruel mother, such a cold society. Watching this movie in the cold winter is really cool from the inside out.
The title of this movie is well-made, and no one knows it. Yes, who would know? In this society, such bizarre but normal things are happening in this society, but no one pays attention. The reality is more cruel than the movie. It is said that the cause of the death of the little girl in the real incident was that she stole the instant noodles of her brother and friend and was beaten to death. It is terrible to think about it.
Looking at the thin body of the four children, sloppy clothes, and disheveled hair, I really think that we are already very happy if we have food and clothing. If we are not at the bottom, you will not know. Miserable, it turns out that there is no lower limit. .
Many people don't understand why Xiaoxue (the little girl) didn't call the police to help Mr. Zhao after he fell off the chair. I think there are three reasons. First, before the elder brother came home, the younger sister and younger brother at home were too young and ignorant, and She rarely contacts others, let alone asks for help. After her brother came home, Xiaoxue was dying. Second, her brother tried to ask for help, but her mother didn't answer the phone. For a child, the only hope she could hold was being pinched Do you still have the courage to seek other help? ; Third, it is difficult for adults to think of, that is, they do not want to be separated. Is it incredible? Would you rather die than be separated? Yes, in the world of children, where do you know so many partings of life and death, and the greatest happiness is not the company of relatives and friends? So they don't want to be separated.
In retrospect, the movie wasn't all dark. The help of the convenience store staff and the girl's company, at least a little light in the darkness, although weak, at least warm.
Ordinary storytelling, this is Hirokazu-eda's style.

    At the beginning, I thought it was a movie about love, but it was actually a movie about no love. The camera and the music look so small and fresh, but after looking in, they are extremely sad. The four children were discarded like seeds they picked on the side of the road, forgotten, and grew hopelessly in the corner. The name written on the instant noodle cup, Amin's smile when he finally went out, and the brisk music when he went out were the only moving moments.

    Ai Xiaoke wrote: Two teenage children with mud on their white clothes, facing the dawn of Weixi, in the empty morning without a word from darkness to dawn, "Treasures" ringing in their ears Song: "The late spring light makes people take a deep breath... I grow up gradually, and no one can get close..."-the plot is the most beautiful
