do you have a mother

It begins with a middle-aged woman dancing alone on the yellow grass.
I thought it was another unreliable and disliked "Pine Nut".

The dullness and trivialities of the first half stage paved the way for the thousands of twists and turns in the second half.
Like warmth, like a detective, like horror, like ethics, like funny, like friendship...

The stupid son was sentenced to murder, but the mother didn't believe it. From this, a series of hidden secrets have been drawn. Friends' greed for money and righteousness, mother's love and fault, girl's filial piety and coercion, policeman's ignorance and neglect, lawyer's rape and corruption, son's stupidity and memory...

When the mother found out the truth, she did something almost crazy. behavior.
After that, as in the beginning, a person dances in the wasteland.
——Killing people, dancing and dancing, the

transcendence of good and evil, prompted her to find a second scapegoat, but the difference was that the fool did not have a mother who avenged him...

Nietzsche envy those who eat freely in the fields Grass cows, because they can get rid of memories. The heaviness of a person lies in the inescapable memory, which is like a heavy burden on the chest, unable to breathe.
Mother knew that there is an acupuncture point where unfortunate memories can be erased. I don't know if my son's amnesia is also related to that acupoint.
Can not bear the burden of life, only choose to forget. So, he can sing and dance with his companions on the bus of his relatives - kill people, dance and dance.

Without memory, it is like the former human beings, although ancient, but immature.
Eternal reincarnation.

I once argued with my friends and brothers about an ancient view: Can people control their own destiny?
My friends and I insist that the ancients also recognized the limitations of human beings, and the key lies in Socrates' "knowledge and ignorance". "Oedipus the King", "Antigone", "Iliad"... These epics and tragedies actually show the finitude of human beings, even superhumans like Oedipus and Achilles The heroes and kings of the world will inevitably fall into the trap of fate, the cunning of rationality. Because life is like what Heidegger said: the rift,
our senior brothers hold the opposite view. He believes that although the ancients recognized fate, they fundamentally believed that those sufferings lie in the fact that people are still not wise enough. Of course, there are actually very few people who can really be wise, just like the philosopher king, they are even elusive. But that doesn't mean it's impossible -- that's exactly what modern people are. The unavoidable conflict in drama, the philosopher sees the imperfection of man and the goal to be perfected.
So, inadvertently, we trace back to the question of the debate between poetry and philosophy.

Only later did I realize that this is the fundamental difference between poets and philosophers, as well as a difference between classical and modern. Those who do not believe in the perfection of human beings will choose the path of "amnesia" to continue living. Most must exist in this way, but philosophers must be different!

Therefore, the second half of turning the tide made me really appreciate the film, but that kind of dead grimness has always exuded yin, forcing me to fail.
——I just don’t understand, how can a girl have a photo of an old scavenger?
