Even now, when Mrs. Meritt thinks back to the content of the movie she just saw, she feels a shiver run down her spine.
What makes her even more desperate is that, as a film critic, as a movie connoisseur, she truly believes from the bottom of her heart that this movie is excellent, outstanding, and better than any other film she has seen so far this year that is in the running for selection.
Honestly speaking, many movies now feel like a routine to Mrs. Meritt. No matter how tragic the characters or how miserable their lives, her heart remains utterly unmoved, and she even wants to laugh while giving a bad review.
But this "Peaceful Days in Spring," whether it is because the actors' performances are too strong, the scenes too real, or the script's interpretation too brilliant, actually managed to immerse Mrs. Meritt.
It is precisely because she was so immersed that she was hurt so deeply.
