This is the story of a boy who grew up because of three women

One is the mother. Her suicide hit the male protagonist hugely, making him unable to accept such a departure. In the infinite thoughts and grief, there are still hidden complaints and anger. such separation.

One is a stepmother, brought by another male (father), a foreign interloper trying to replace her dead mother, a forced acceptance, who wants to start a new family with her father, using some despicable means, The male protagonist was full of suspicion, disgust, and hatred for her, and she vented all her anger towards her parents on her head.

One is a woman who looks like his mother, which the male protagonist discovered by himself. He turned his longing for his mother into his obsession with the female protagonist. In the Lord, she likes, is infatuated with, and respects her.

In this way, from "disgust and fascination" with the two to "understanding and relief". A boy went through a period of growth and finally slowly accepted the fact that his mother died.

Everyone's evaluation of this movie is not high. I feel that the director failed to grasp the key points, the performance is not deep enough, and the turning point is too abrupt. Although the male protagonist is good-looking and has a lot of benefits, the plot is too extensive to describe. Make the audience feel something profound.

    Although there are no exceptions in the appearance of sexual scenes among the objects of Hallam's peeping, it is clear that he is not seeking physical curiosity but seeking love, so that in his physical contact with Kate, he is also seeking that long-lost maternal love feel. At the end of the film, when he accepted the fact that his mother had passed away and really pursued Kate, he really grew up, and really had the need for love instead of simply being loved.

    Basically, they have lost the ability to judge this kind of film. But one thing I want to say is, what kind of audience does the director define? If it is shot for the underage confused strange boy or the strange girl, some of the clips are too harmonious; but maybe the director just shot to those normal uncles and aunts who have experienced this period with emotion, then is this necessary? It's a thing of the past, it is the young people who really need help!
