"Everyone in the world is inextricably linked. In the 1960s, American social psychologist Milgren put forward the theory of "six degrees of division". He believed that as long as you pass six people, you can Establish a connection with any strange individual. But the thread of this relationship is so weak, even if we realize the existence of the other party, we still can't hear the other party's struggle and cry, even if we hear it, we still can't understand it, and we can't have meaningful communication.

" At the beginning of the world, people all over the world spoke the same language. Out of pride, people wanted to build a tower that reached the sky to prove their omnipotence. After God found out, he was very angry with the pride of human beings, so he divided human beings into different parts of the world and differentiated their languages. So people couldn't communicate, and finally the dream of building a tower came to nothing, and people no longer communicated, talked and listened...

The Japanese girl who is deaf and mute has obstacles in communicating with the real world, and her inner desire to be loved. People who express themselves and become mentally handicapped; the
cultural differences between different ethnic groups, the misunderstood Mexican illegal immigrant nanny, the Moroccan teenager who was shot to death;
the estrangement between husband and wife is finally broken at the edge of life and death, in fact, it is a sentence: not you wrong.
Misunderstandings are always there, and the desire to communicate is always there.
The butterfly effect, coupled with communication barriers, has contributed to countless tragedies all over the world.

"We always talk about 'boundary' as a geographical term rather than a concept. I think the real boundary exists in our hearts." In the
end, the director left a sentence for the children, pinning their hopes on the children. Although this can't hide the sadness of the story at all, I think this is the only degree the director can be kind to.

    It also talks about clan understanding, the same interspersed narrative, the same monophonic music, and even the same light and shadow processing and editing style. The form of crash is really flattering. .
