Bullshit is to make a bad story so that you can actually read it

If you change it to the Chinese version, it becomes a full-fledged family ethics drama, which is still the mainstream: mistress, stepfather, stepmother, extramarital affair, family war. . .



The advantage of European films is that there is no template, and this person is analyzed as "this person", not "this type of person".

French films will always add a bit of philosophical and pessimistic tones. .


—— Converted a Shijingkou water film into a mysterious, philosophical, literary film. .

That strong existentialist tone. . . . . .




In other words, I really envy the freedom of personal choice and the spirit of personal responsibility for their own choices in these European films! !

All the conversations are built on this consensus, and it sounds so refreshing. .

Change to heaven. . . . That can definitely kill people. . Let's imagine. .

Although the film is about communication barriers. . Although the people in the film are not very communicative. . .
But at least in the life around me, even this consensus platform does not exist. . .
In contrast, people's conversations full of ambiguity can still be said to be "flowing." . Envy me too!








Also the sound is great. It's more layered than the soundtrack.

The details are as trivial and real as ever, full of French flavor. . Mumbling, muttering, muttering, muttering, like French, but it's still unpleasant to listen to.

The movie is very depressing, and almost no one smiles. .



Hesitating between three stars and four stars, the reason for the final choice is the same as the title.

    The plot is a little weak, and some parts are not clearly portrayed

    Like a goodbye, the plot made me unable to sit still. . . The heroine has never been so ugly

  • Fouad: Why don't they separate her from medical instruments?

    Samir: Because they don't know if she wants to live with them or die.

    Fouad: She wants to die.

    Samir: Why do you say that?

  • Shahryar: You weren't a person who gets used to this country. You should stay in one side of the stream. You can't put one of your foots on one side and the other foot in the other side! Stream will get bigger at the end.
