1. The first 1/3 is cloudy and foggy, the middle 1/3 is getting better, and the last 1/3 is full of firepower.
2. Much like a play in form, the door is the key to jumping between different worlds.
3. The plot is advanced layer by layer, the mystery is gradually solved, and the characters are constantly full.
4. The character setting is real and complex, like sympathy, like contempt, hard to love and hard to hate, it is worth pondering.
5. Dustin Hoffman's acting skills, Markovic is so young, and there are countless wonderful dialogues.
6. The world is hot and cold, and it is worth reflecting on. The death of the salesman, is it not the death of you and me?
