      Childhood crematorium

      The first time the feeling is not so obvious, the second time you can feel more clearly that Richard is really a simple and innocent person in life, such as the dog at the beginning and the conch later (it’s too cute to squeeze your eyes when waiting for a gift) )...And his wife was talking to him, and he obviously didn't look attentively listening. Look at the lobsters in the sink at the lobster restaurant and don’t want to eat them. Take the duck down jacket directly to fight the fire. He...

      Maybe you are just a paper man

      Wen, Su Jianya

      This is a movie about friendship and loneliness.

                                         

      One is a cowardly and half-dead writer who failed in a marriage.

      One is a young girl who witnessed her sister drowning.

      Two people who seem to be far apart have many similarities.

      For example, Richard has his guardian Captain Excellent, and

      Abby has her follower Chriatopher.

      Richard asked his wife Clari: "Are we really...

      I think I am also a paper man

      The movie didn't say why Richard closed himself up. Since the second grade, Captain Excellent has been with him.

      He changed his environment, lived alone, socialized with Abby, and even wanted a child as an excuse. He thought that he could get a new life from scratch—he even succeeded in the movie—but in reality, he did this. Is it useful? This seems to be the so-called anxiety.

      He regarded himself as the last grouse, and his isolation as sacred. But he knew in his heart that...

      Sometimes we all regarded our solitude as something sacred

      Richard regarded his solitude as something sacred, as a well earned badge of honor. A cloak, to be worn to ward off life.

      As his safety. Solitude is who he was. This caused those in his life to view him with a barely veiled contempt.

      Richard was certain that he was not liked, which is hard on a man. Maybe it was because he gave nothing that he received nothing in return. In any case, his situation had become intolerable. The closest things he had to friends were either...

      Love you because you end my loneliness in my heart.

      It's possible to be so at sea when life and land have slipped under the horizon.
      I quietly wish to never see either again.

      The story of a lonely person.
      A writer who has lost his inspiration and wants to cheer himself up with his imaginary friend has a lot of dissatisfaction with himself and his wife.
      Lost, he met Abby, a girl who also couldn't talk to her heart.
      Friendship began and life changed.

      Everyone has unspeakable secrets.
      Those painful...

    Movie quotes

    • Richard Dunn: So... This is what the end of something looks like.

      Captain Excellent: The world went on, Richard.

      Richard Dunn: But never the same. Who knows how she might have changed the world, just by her being here? The ripple effect.

      Captain Excellent: What? If she hadn't died out, you'd be normal? Well-adjusted?

      Richard Dunn: Maybe.

      Captain Excellent: Doubt it.

    • Richard Dunn: It's time for you to go.

      Captain Excellent: No.

      Richard Dunn: You know what I'm saying, Captain. I mean go and never come back.

      Captain Excellent: I'm not ready.

      Richard Dunn: It doesn't matter! You can't help me anymore. The doctor's right.

      Captain Excellent: But... Then you'll be all alone.

      Richard Dunn: Yes. The last of my kind.

      [There is a silence between them]

      Richard Dunn: Okay. Do the voice... one last time. Please...

      Captain Excellent: [intense] When the world is imperiled... When evil surrounds you... When danger is lurking... Who do you call?

      Richard Dunn: [whispering] Captain Excellent...

    • [Abby is reading Richard's last letter]

      Richard Dunn: Richard regarded his solitude as something sacred as a well earned badge of honor, a cloak to be worn to ward off life. As his safety. Solitude is who he was. This caused those in his life to view him with a barely veiled contempt. Richard was certain that he was not liked, which is hard on a man. *Maybe* it was because he gave nothing that he received nothing in return. In any case, his situation had become intolerable. The closest things he had to friends were either imaginary or extinct. And Richard had reached a point in his life where this was no longer enough. And then he met a girl... And she was warm. And she was sad. And she was maybe lonely in a way that reminded him of himself. She'd lost things that a girl should never have lost. And she knew things. And she taught him. And Richard thought: "Maybe this is what friendship feels like. Maybe." It was just a glimpse, they'd barely begun, really. But in those long, few winter days, she'd given him so much. Enough so that Richard could go on. And what had he given her? Just a few words on a page. Not much, perhaps. But for Abby, he hoped it was enough.
