Forgiveness is the main thread. Revenge is just a cover.

From the perspective of surveillance, it is even more straightforward than the documentary.
The director's approach is superb. Rough environment, calm eyes, brief dialogue. Hit the void in the heart.
There are always too many things fettered, tangled.
We are always searching because of the emptiness, but what if we really find something. What do we really want.
The heroine's so-called revenge plan at the beginning was to put the perpetrator of the traffic accident in prison again. For this, she took extreme measures to retaliate by hurting herself. However, how can this be so that he can reassure himself by throwing that person into prison again? Can you let go? Can you start life again?
No. The real salvation lies within oneself.
Tolerance, whether it is for others or for yourself, is the best choice.

The relief at the end is also a matter of course. Although it is a bit old-fashioned, it finally made me feel better in front of the computer.
Forgiveness is a common theme.

In addition, I really like cool-toned environments, British rock music, and young people who are forced by life but still have beautiful love. The real world, don't be fettered.

    Impressive directorial debut. Revenge + Forgiveness, expressed coldly, soothingly, and delicately by practitioners in special industries.

    Open your heart and let go of your regrets. Instead of falling asleep holding an urn, nor intervening in the perpetrator's life.
