A world of the jungle

The young protagonist is like living in a world where the strong eat the weak. In the end, only through his own ferocity and strength can he protect himself and achieve his goal. Just like what the police said to the teenager in the film, "You think you are strong because someone is protecting you behind you, but they are getting old... (to the point)", and the teenager finally found out that the police are not a guarantee of safety. Or solve the threat through his own wisdom and ferocity.

The film is narrated in a cold and flat way, tepid and slow, not like a crime-themed film, but a literary film. However, the portrayal of the characters is indeed quite delicate. The perverted and bloodthirsty "pope", the hidden mother, the timid brother-in-law and the experienced protagonist are all impressive. The first half of the film is a bit boring, but the second half of the plot moves quickly and is also very interesting.
