We always like to classify people, good people, bad people, weird people, etc. Moreover, it is always easy for us to classify people who are different from the public as bad people. And are they really bad?

In the film, there is a complete bad guy, Van Witte, who is violent, cruel, and inhuman. He insidiously designed to use a woman and the paperboy behind her to help him out of prison and escape the punishment of the law.

Charlotte, her behavior, I am afraid that many people want to comment on one word: cheap. Especially the scene during the visit to prison, it is simply a magical scene! The acting skills of the two actors have withstood the test and dedicated an extremely indecent and wonderful rivalry. Such a slut also has her own longing for love, longing to be redeemed by a true love, bravely doing so many things for a man she doesn't know, but in the end, it ends in death. It's really embarrassing.

The gay brother is a journalist with a sense of justice. He is also full of love for his younger brother, but he was first sexually abused and then killed while searching for the truth. This is a cruel reality.

Yadian won't say anything. Such people are everywhere in the society. They have no principles for the benefit, but because they are shameless, they live so well that they can be appointed as officials.

Sunshine and warmth, in Jack, in Juanita, these two people are sincere and warm and caring for each other. If you accidentally say something wrong and hurt each other, you will sincerely apologize, and Jack will desperately fall in love with someone who can be his own mother. Woman, and Juanita has always cared about him and helped him. The two of them look like people who live in a stable living environment, and Charlotte is the representative of the bottom life. She wants to find a way out, but she finds the wrong person.

Their father, a businessman, apparently had what a businessman should do for profit and married a arrogant woman. Such people are also common.

Beautiful people, ugly people, cruel people, warm family, innocent and persistent love, perverted love, homosexuality, ugliness in the press, and the faces of businessmen. . . All kinds of people and things are simmered together. This two-hour film integrates many aspects of society, like a spicy hot pot containing various dishes. It is rich and spicy, with a strong taste. The reality we live in is like this, it has everything, and it has never been just the sun shining and the breeze.
