After finishing the fame of the film, I suddenly remembered a term, "anti-narrative". This is one keyword that lights up everything.
For a comfort-seeking me, life has always been what it is now: lack of touch and excitement. Because of boredom, do some things, and find that these are also boring, just don't give up the habit and get used to it. When someone (the director of the film) puts everything that he is used to into a different eye that shouldn't be just these, everything becomes unaccustomed.
I'm not used to the habit of watching movies, and that point in my heart can't be regarded as a pursuit.
Let's go back to the film, this is the "city of human beings", and human beings live their lives quietly. Two friends who grew up together have never seen their father: Ace worked as a police officer for a living, and Lara Kaimo; Ace has a lover who needs to start a family, and Lara has love and is enjoying the sweet; Father was terrified. Because Lara's girlfriend Ace is implicated by the gang and has nowhere to live, because Ace's father Lara's friendship is going to leave him. Everything is arranged by the director like life itself, and it is like deliberately breaking the fate of the characters here, disrupting the consistent order of this place of residence. But here it is common to shoot people during the day and have sex in public at night.
In the end, I just thought about Ace's lovely son who was walking with a pacifier. Does his path mean a new life? This is also the end of the film, Ace and Lara lead the child forward, leaving friendship and new life to the audience. Maybe the good is ahead, forever and ever!
