    Truly a Gem

    This isn't a world of rainbows and flowers; it's about embracing reality rather than clinging to fabricated illusions and false optimism. It's about facing the truth with a dose of realism (pessimism), revealing the genuine nature of those around us, and dismantling the fairy tale notion of karma. It demonstrates that despite our goodness, the world might not acknowledge it, highlighting our insignificance and the swift reversal of fortunes. Justice is often elusive, and the world is far from a realm of rainbows and flowers.

    Regrettably, our cultural constraints restrained the film from delving into a darker narrative. In my view, this movie had the potential for a more intense and compelling conclusion. However, as they didn't fully disclose the characters' ultimate fate, I suppose they intended to leave it open for interpretation by the audience.
