Highly refined and pure narrative, clean shots, Phoenix wandering between fantasy and reality.

The director's storytelling skills cannot be underestimated.

The music is the highlight, the off-screen soundtrack and the in-painting ambient sound are all integrated with the connotation of the scene.

Mother killed, girl not found, in-painting music

"I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me"

Found the house where the girl was tied

Music from "Angel baby, Is just like heaven"

The angel who rescued him appeared and made him feel like heaven.

Uncle Phoenix's original purpose was to rescue the little girl, but at the end of the film, the rescued girl also rescued him and released his soul. The last imaginary suicide by swallowing a gun seems to be the same as the one who has been immersed in childhood in the past. Say goodbye to yourself in the shadows, and everything to come is as beautiful as heaven.

    The sound is very good, too much thinking, not enough girls...

    The restless soundtrack and sharp editing create a somber and mysterious atmosphere. The rain in New York is always falling, and the night in New York seems to never end. Joe stared at the rearview mirror, and in constant flashbacks, he became the "taxi driver" under Scorsese's lens, a childhood The pain drilled out of the crack, he became violent and mad, his head was breathing and breathing in the plastic bag, and the blows the world had given him were all nailed back to the world by him.
