What impressed me the most was the first climax, which is also the one with the most dialogue in the film, but it was like a dramatic insertion, which was different from the film's narrative technique but could be integrated, and cleverly explained the outside world for the audience. The world, the world without shooting. A few words are enough.
"Why didn't you go into the city?"
"The city was blown away by the wind."
"How could it be"
"It's already in ruins."
"Why is it in ruins."
And if that's the case, they themselves don't exist! Get it, I think we can say that at this very moment, they're out, they're gone, like the afterglow that burns out on the grass. One is the eternal loser, the other is the eternal winner. Lose, win, fail, win, and then one day, living here, I finally realized that I was wrong before, I used to think that nothing in the world, and there will never be any change, I was wrong.

The perspective from a distance is the general perspective of women, who are watching from the sidelines. The low lens is like expressing women's forbearance, tolerance, and all obedience is not without thought, but a wise choice that penetrates everything. The second shot, quickly pocketing the money on the desktop, standing in front of the window and watching the old friend leave. There must be a reason for choosing to shoot an old friend's back from a daughter's perspective. Acknowledging, the daughter is a metaphor for identifying with an old friend, or a layer of resistance, and she wants to leave with her. Women are always realists, they know more about survival than anything else.
