Who is crazy

After watching it, I suddenly don't know who is crazy, maybe it's Lisa, if not, it's everyone. There is a sentence in the film review that I think is very good, that is, "We have a lot of people, so we call them crazy" But who can really understand the world of madmen, maybe it is the same world as us, but 80% of it will be better than what we have now. I think the real madness is those of us who think that we can cure madmen. We use various methods , let them live a life close to us or similar to us, and then they will celebrate the success of our rehabilitation program with a high-sounding sound...

In fact, there is really no line between crazy and not crazy, as the film says: "What is the standard of promiscuity" doesn't really exist, it's just the rules of survival that most people presume to stipulate, and most of the time they call these rules "morality". If you violate it, then unfortunately, you become Heterogeneous, and even more crazy, no one cares about your psychological changes in the process. To put it simply, the pursuit of dreams is aspirational and worthy of promotion by a real society, while the pursuit of money becomes a bit vague. Clearly, money worship is realistic or something, but as society changes, this behavior is mixed, but the pursuit of sexual behavior is not considered promiscuity, of course, most of it is used by women. This feels very dramatic, and it is also a pursuit, but if it does not meet the moral values ​​of most people, it will be spurned by society.

In fact, when we are struggling for life, for money, for fame and fortune, in the eyes of those lunatics who think we have nothing, what are we?
