Claude's death, the director used ellipsis to shoot. From Claudy's farewell by bicycle, and jumping directly to Lorna picking up her belongings for Claudy, Lorna's emotional changes are expressed very modestly, but they have a very strong impact.
"Omission" brings an effect similar to "surprise", which instantly defeats the audience's expectations, thereby achieving the effect of stimulating the audience.
Lorna returned Claudy's money to Claudy's mother, and Claudy's relatives were extremely unfamiliar with Claudy, and even disgusted. This detail adds more sympathy to Claude and understanding to Lorna.
The change in Lorna's feelings for Claudius is related to guilt, but it is also inseparable from love. This kind of love is not only the love of men and women, but more of a mother's love in a woman's nature. Claudius is like a child clinging to Lorna and is lonely.
This is a film that is extremely restrained in expression, and many of them are similar to the use of "ellipsis", which brings a special charm. There is a fierce conflict in the coldness, and it is difficult to let go for a long time.
