we eat ourselves

Watching this film for the second time, I think the most quintessential part of it is when Depp and the heroine go home after watching the sunset, and the silhouette of the home is reflected in the brilliant afterglow on the horizon, Depp said, "It's strange, it turns out that our The house is so small, but you live in it, and you feel so big.”
Depp was overwhelmed by the pressure of the family, a mother like a whale, a mentally handicapped younger brother, and a rebellious younger sister.
He is the pillar of the family and cannot fall down. I can't leave, it's here forever.
He has to bathe Leo every day. He has to take good care of him. As long as he's not careful, Leo will disappear.
He feels like he's going to be eaten up by this life

. Ruined the cake, Depp went to the helpless supermarket and was caught by the boss, Leo stole it again, and Leo didn't want to take a bath. Life is such a mess!

It's them all! All because Mommy is a fat woman! Brother is crazy! It's them that hold him back so he can't leave! Go to hell! So at that time Depp asked Leo to go to the basement as a helper, probably because of this subconsciousness. . . It's better to smash the floor down, and it's better to die!

Depp finally collapsed that day, Depp beat Leo, Depp ran away,

but later, Depp saw Leo taking a bath by himself under the encouragement of the heroine, and saw that the sister just came and took Leo home, Depp finally understood They can go on without him

Depp always says "I gotta go..." - he thinks everything in the house is waiting for him and it can't function without him, He didn't think he was going anywhere at all. . . .

This time he said again, I should go, and then suddenly found that everything in the family has been done by myself, and his family is not so dependent on him, so he changed his words and I had nowhere to go. . . . . Haha, then ML with the heroine~

In fact, no one can hold you back, the only one stopping you is yourself.

When you walk out, you find that everything is so small
