In the end, it's not about the system, it's about the people

Does this movie feel familiar? you are right! If placed in a certain dynasty, the film would be as seamless as ever.
A man with a midlife crisis, a doctor in a socialist country with a high status in society, is bent on cultivating his excellent daughter to flee his country to pursue another system.
First, let's take a look at the character of this middle-aged man. A well-respected doctor, the pillar of the family, dignified and educated her daughter on all standards. And actually? Engaged in an affair, in order to allow her daughter to go abroad to get through all kinds of relationships. Treating the son of the mistress and his own daughter, there is really a difference in intimacy. After the accident, the daughter's first reaction was that she had to take the exam, because only in this way could she escape the country's system and enjoy the advantages of capital, even though her daughter was not willing to comply. In this middle-aged man, many opposite things exist, such a contradictory body, doing all kinds of contradictory things. Tired of the hopelessness of a country, the thought is not change but escape. I don't like the unspoken rules of survival, but I have to play the rules of the game for my own benefit, telling my daughter "what we want is the result" and telling his wife "what you learn in school is bullshit"...so, see here , are you smiling? Just so familiar.
I like a lot of the details of the film, and it is also worth mentioning. For example, every time the male protagonist passes by a place, he will honk his horn regardless of whether there are any cars nearby. For example, because Xiaosan wants to help his son go to an ideal school, he has changed his attitude of not wanting the male protagonist to meet his son in the past, and is eager to introduce (isn't it another way) kind of superiority of XXism?) For example, the prosecutor expresses an understanding of the actions of the male protagonist? The ending of the film is even more interesting.
In short, the whole movie is straightforward, seemingly bland but with hidden mystery. After the daughter was raped, all the characters are very interesting and worth exploring. The more you explore, the more you smile. Is it a system issue? Or is it ultimately a human problem?

    EU Exhibition@百美慧; It turns out that we are all floating outside the surface of life, and inside it, it is more than a tangle of numbness, it is simply an unsolvable web of countless mysteries; the more obsessed with perfection, the more difficult it is Everyone's little universe operates in isolation. We are happy to hurt each other and fight against ourselves. Fortunately, life always clears up when the gloom is at its worst, allowing those never-ending irritability to be diluted into the quiet river.

    It's okay, my expectations were too high, and after reading it, I felt that what you said was right, and then it was gone.

  • Romeo: Eliza, you have to do your best. It'd be a pity to miss this chance. Some important steps in life depend on small things. And some chances shouldn't be wasted. You know, in '91, your Mum and I decided to move back. It was a bad decision. We thought things would change, we thought we'd move mountains. We didn't move anything. I have no regrets, though. At least we tried...
