      Ben X--There Are No Miracles In The World

      Each episode foreshadows an unexpected ending. I suddenly remembered the miracle I always prayed for, hoping that someone would see me around the corner, hoping that person happened to be my partner. That's not Mr. Right; it's another me in the world, another person who knows me best besides myself. Yet the world has no miracles. I figured it out a long, long time ago. Figuring it out does not...

      Ben X--Let Love Ease The Unhappiness In Life

      A relatively good movie, in fact. Everyone can have love, a little. Especially in this excess that enjoys watching. Maybe people who have not experienced autism will not understand how vulnerable and sensitive those children are. I have experienced it, but fortunately I came here. Sometimes you will find that life is just like that, even death is like that. It's a momentary thing, but there are always so many contradictions...

      ben, foreign maga, no tragedy depends on the strength of the parents

      ben, what a pity! Never know what to be happy about, what to be sad about, what to be angry about, and how to react when angry! Even touching the girl's arm to show her kindness, the kind smile is all from imitation. . .
      China Ma Jiajue is not born with autism and it is not so severe, but there is no communication with his parents, which caused the tragedy
      and ben discussed with his parents about suspended animation, played a video at his memorial service, and peacefully humiliated...

      great~

      As soon as I saw it was about "autism", I became particularly interested, and I was not disappointed. A very good film. very serious.
      For young people, growing up generation after generation, what should we do, what we can do, and what we should do. Well, you can stand by and watch, but please don't harm anyone. I don't remember which master once said that if human beings are beasts, they will be thousands of times more beasts than beasts (probably so).

      We are all human beings,...

      God closes a door and opens a window for you

      Before I watched it, I thought that the plot would be a sudden explosion of Ben, who was addicted to a virtual game, and wanted to revenge and kill like in the game. But he finally made his way out.
          The film features Ben's inner monologue throughout, and he knows exactly how he feels. The psychiatrist said that he just paid too much attention to the details and ignored the big environment, that is to say, he was too egoistic. He shut himself in his own world and talked to himself....

      The ending is reversed, unconventional. A model of civilized resistance to school violence. After the sound and picture are processed, people can better understand the world faced by people with autism. The filming is very real, showing many helpless problems that exist in...
