People never change

To paraphrase a sentence from the play, to express what I think the film is trying to express 'Life is motherfucker'. This film is a big step for Daben to transform into a director. No matter the expression of the plot, the way of shooting, the views expressed to the audience, or the acting skills of the actors, they are all remarkable. The first time I thought that person was the murderer, but he would receive a slap in the face quickly. When it was finally found out that the black man was the murderer, the dialogue between the protagonist and the black man was the climax of the film. (Actually, I think the male protagonist knows that Amanda's mother even remembered the name of Amanda's favorite toy wrong there. She should regret her decision to walk out and send the little girl home.) Finally, I still want to complain about the male protagonist. Girlfriend, what is her role in this film? Are you sure it's not a male lead's follower? Moreover, in the end, the disagreement with the male protagonist was a bit abrupt. → Movie viewing experience: Things can change, but people never change. People only can die.

[first lines]
Patrick Kenzie: I always believed it was the things you don't choose that makes you who you are. Your city, your neighborhood, your family. People here take pride in these things, like it was something they'd accomplished. The bodies around their souls, the cities wrapped around those. I lived on this block my whole life; most of these people have. When your job is to find people who are missing, it helps to know where they started. I find the people who started in the cracks and then fell through. This city can be hard. When I was young, I asked my priest how you could get to heaven and still protect yourself from all the evil in the world. He told me what God said to His children. "You are sheep among wolves. Be wise as serpents, yet innocent as doves."
