It turns out that Hank didn't run away from home and ended up living on a deserted island, surviving alone. But just because Hank is a loser in real life, he doesn't dare to chat with the goddess whom he has met many times, and only dares to scroll down the goddess's Weibo. Looking back, the protagonist just survived and escaped the world independently in the mountain behind the goddess. The deserted island at the beginning of the movie is not the real part, it can only be the inner world. Hank has closed his inner world, leaving only that small piece of sky and shoal (that can't be regarded as an island), and the characters are decadent and even seek death for a while. But there was a light in his heart that illuminated Hank's heart, and another Hank's split personality, manny, appeared. Hank still wanted to return to the human world in his heart, but he didn't dare to face up to the wild needs of his inner world, including physical and psychological needs, so he had a second personality. (This physiological need refers to the materials, water and objects needed for life, don't think about it)
There is a section in the movie that Hank describes to Manny about the goddess he met on the bus. Every detail and every fantasy is performed together. Hank plays the role of goddess, and manny plays the role of hank. Borrowing from Manny's mouth, he directly told the goddess that he wanted to kiss and have sex, which is probably the first reaction of most male compatriots. But Hank, estimating other people's opinions, told Manny not to say the same.
With the development of the plot, Hank and Manny are accompanied all the way. Hank's heart has changed from a barren to a forest, with flowers, grass and trees. At the same time, Manny has also changed from a corpse to a living person with mobility and thinking. The prosperity of the inner world gave Hank the confidence to return to normal life, but the final turning point was to find that people could not accept the existence of manny again, that is, when Hank's inner world needed it. Hank collapsed again, but let Manny leave alone.
At the end of the film, the richness of the inner world and the conflict and fusion of the constraints of external concepts are discussed. The final result is still defeated by reality, and the wild second personality once again left on the edge of the beach. Regarding the inner world, which is the edge of human society, although a few people witnessed this in the end, Hank's inner struggle and painful roar could not be buried, and the fact that he was marginalized again.
PS: There are a few metaphors that I think are very interesting to share with you. One is that Manny's various skills are a reflection of Hank's true thoughts. When he clicks it, fresh water will come out. When Hank is drinking, he complains that this is the most disgusting thing in the world, but this is what his life needs. This is a metaphor for a lot of the dark side of human nature and people's hearts. The second is that Manny's little brother has a navigation function, which means that the love for the goddess is the reason why Hank wants to return. Seeing the goddess getting married and having children is still a bad attitude, and Manny's directly turned back into a corpse. The third is that it is mentioned many times in the movie that this is not the real world, this is not real life. This is also a kind of torture to the audience's inner world.
This is the first time I write this, and the science and engineering male writing is like that. You can read it. If you have any opinions and criticisms, you are justified. But all kinds of unreasonable spraying are not welcome. thanks
