24-hour reunion, including 12-hour dog hunting.

In 24 hours, they met the doctor who prescribed painkillers to Ben that made him addicted to the drug; met the history teacher who provided Ben with drugs for a long time; met the drug lord who used a dog to blackmail Ben into selling drugs. . .

They also met the parents of the girl who died of drug addiction by Ben La. The family was devastated and full of despair and hatred;

Facing the drug-addicted son Ben, whom everyone avoided, mother Holly showed great love and patience, guarding him every step of the way, and she followed wherever Ben went. Shopping malls, addicts' mutual aid home, church, looking for a dog all the way, and finally lost his beloved son. . .

Holly is a great mother. For her son, she married a rich black man. She thought that with her motherly love and patience, she could restore her lost son. . . She was wrong, however, because what she and Ben were fighting against was not just drugs, but a vast dark system, a huge and invisible web of doctors, teachers, drug buddies, and drug lords.

Maggie's mum said: "We can't save them. Stepfather said: Everything is your fault. My sister said: Mom, don't open the door. The guarantor said: You don't want to come back. Ben said to himself: Mom, I'm not worth it.

Days and nights seemed like a long life. Holly, who was exhausted and full of powerlessness, faced drugs and this crisis-ridden society, she realized how overly she was, and how pitiful and helpless her child was. In desperation, she chose to call the police. Ben, who suffered a huge blow to his body and mind, no one understood, was deeply trapped in it, and was unable to extricate himself, chose to commit suicide after taking the dog back. . . Under his mother's desperate first aid, although he opened his eyes, what about the future, the next time? This is a question that no one can answer.

When Holly was collecting medicines at home, she said to her daughter: If you were like that, I would do the same. The daughter retorted: You will not have this chance. This kind of self-righteous idea, probably everyone has, everyone thinks that every drug addict is a fool with no brains and weak willpower, but they don’t know that the poisonous spider has already laid a net, waiting for the little flying insect to slam into it, and then never fly again. go out.

Save the child.

    Lucas' innocent face, which is harmless to humans and animals, is really hard to imagine a drug addict who can do evil! Several scenes were impressive. First, Lucas's church crying scene was praised, with delicate and explosive emotions. Second, in the cemetery scene, Julia asked her son where do you want me to bury you. The third is Lucas in the gas station. Repeating to my mother over and over again that I am not worthy of you treating me like this is heartbreaking. The latter 1/3 turned into a suspense drama, and the rhythm was a bit messed up, but overall it was still very touching.

    This year's Oscar legacy has suffered from a crash in the subject matter. The play is sturdy and full, and instead of falling into the ethical vortex of moral judgment, it has evolved into a suspense genre film with strong tension, which always maintains a tight-knit dramatic tension in the cycle of setting doubts, creating suspense, and overturning the truth. The panic that the male protagonist casts on his mother is also a trap for the audience. The audience's feelings for the male protagonist sway between sympathy, trust, disappointment and doubt. Heartbreaking performances become the best outlet for emotional relief.
