Can you tell the clear sea, the good guys and the bad guys from the sky? (Old Things in the South of the City 4)

"Eiko, tell me, am I a good person or a bad person?" "I don't understand, there are so many people that I can't tell ... can you tell the difference between the sky and the sea? Have you ever seen the sea? We have a lesson that tells us to look at the sea. But I have never seen the sea, I can't tell the difference between the sea and the sky, and I can't tell the good guys and the bad guys. " "Little sister, one day, you will know the difference."

-dialogue between the thief and eiko hiding in the grass

Eiko is still young and growing up, and one day she will meet the sea and more people of all kinds. Seeing the so-called bad guys and good guys, there will be differences in my heart.

But are good people a reference to identify bad people? Are these two opposites? What is good or bad? Are thieves bad people? Is the elder brother who earns money for his younger brother's education a good man? What if the two are the same person?

Her value judgment and position are separated from the distinct ideological orientation in the film, and morality and class are not so hard in the children's world. The world between Eiko and adults is often separated by a veil, a curtain or a group of people, which also represents a wait-and-see attitude and alienation. I also hope to keep a bystander's position to observe various social phenomena.
