"Mysterious Boys": How far are we from Los Angeles in 1928?

Somewhat unexpectedly, "Suspicious Clouds" turned out to be so good.

I have seen the movie synopsis before: A mother suspected that the son who returned to her side after being abducted and sold may not be her real son, and the arbitrary police believed that the mother had an illusion and put her in a mental hospital ...
Such a movie synopsis makes me think it's just a story about how great a mother's love is, and it won't get any better. Because I have always felt that the greatness of mother's love may be beyond doubt, but most of these stories are either outrageous or outrageous. It is rare to find an accurate hit or something, and Eastwood, an old cowboy, is probably no exception.
But the truth is that I was wrong. Dogs look down on people. Eastwood's shot is really like a cowboy holding a revolver, pulling the trigger constantly, and the gun hits the viewer's softest point. The twists and turns of the plot, the heart-wrenching details, and the gloomy style have all been seen for many years. At least in terms of personal movie viewing experience, "good-looking" movies can always be seen every other day, but truly "shocked" movies. But how many years have I come across such a piece.

It is said that the film has sparked a discussion on the Chinese Internet about how far we are from Los Angeles in 1928: in other words, China today is like Los Angeles back then, because of the corruption, incompetence, and ignorance of certain official institutions. Shame is exactly the same as the Los Angeles Police Department in the film; in other words, we are still far from the Los Angeles of 1928, because the Los Angeles mother had the possibility of "hope" after all, in today's country, the result may only be is "desperate".
Honestly, this is not an appropriate topic. Because, we are by no means similar to Los Angeles in 1928, and it is not even a matter of how far apart. According to a personal pessimistic view, how far is the gap forever. The root of the problem is not the so-called system. Although the distance is still a long way off, the day when Rome will be built will never be seen today. It is people's hearts.
As sung in the song, if the heart is in a dream, it will be there. Lord Xing said that everyone who cooks with heart can be a god of food. In Los Angeles in 1928, the media, churches, public opinion, courts, and hearings constituted only a stage, and what was performed on the stage was courage, justice, and conscience. The stage was always there, but there was no show before, and everyone could not help lining up to be thrown into the lunatic asylum. After the "performers" were all alive, there was a scene, and everyone was able to line up to fly over the lunatic asylum. And the reason why they can live together is because those things that concern people's hearts have never collapsed in them.
We will also have a stage, we don't know when, but there will be. However, in our place, all the things that can be called "bottom lines" have already collapsed to smithereens. What else can be performed on this stage?
