      You are the little angel sent by God to save me

      Have you ever met a guy who likes to wear a bib and a top hat with a cane, who always checks the spelling when he asks people's names, who is gifted with a lot of tricks, who is never sure which hand to use when holding a pen. He is not valued by this "normal" world, and is easily discarded as a bet, and those who are forced to take him in are also reluctant. Later, they realized how big a surprise it was.

      You don't like raisins?

      Not really. Why?

      They used to be fat and juicy. And now they're twisted. They had their lives stolen. They tasted sweet, but really they're just humiliated grapes. I can't say I'm a big supporter of the raisin council. Did you see those raisins on TV? The ones that sing and dance stuff? They scare me. Yeah. Me,too. It's sick. They make them sing and dance so people will eat them. It's a shame about raisins. Cannibals. Yeah .

      You got this gifted and...

      Make life a magic

      Bonnie and Joan can't help but think of Rain Man, but it's actually very different from Rain Man. This time, it was replaced by the male lead's sister. Families with abnormal mental development will have more or less unspeakable difficulties. Just like the male protagonist said, my life is complicated, but many times, we are cocooning ourselves. Just like the male protagonist, we want to protect our sister. , turned out to be overprotective, so she could only do what she wanted, but she...

    "Benny & Joon" is a movie that is very close to its theme. Every plot in the film is filmed in such a cautious manner that the audience dare not touch it. The story of the film is mainly about love and madness, but the charm of the two woven together seems to deviate from real life, making the audience feel that it is not so real ("Chicago Sun" review) .
    According to the structure of the film’s story, Johnny Depp’s performance is the...
