In the process of watching, there was only the expression of the subway grandpa...cough.
What I saw as Manny was that part of Hank's inner self that he didn't think was understood or accepted by the outside world. Cowardly, not good at expressing, not good at socializing... I dare not communicate with the outside world until I cut myself off from everything and become a desperate walking dead. I think probably every introvert has some moments when they regret not having the courage to step out and try, maybe most of them have a strong desire to rewrite the script of a certain moment in life, so Hank fantasized about Man Manny, and projecting his unfulfilled needs onto Manny.
Many people always feel that the outside world does not understand them and yearns to live alone, but in fact, when a person truly lives like an island, he will find that he actually longs for company.
Perhaps this is the interpretation of the film at the end of the film that Manny jumped away alone with a fart, and Hank did not follow: the numb and autistic Manny (self) disappeared, just when Hank returned to reality and began to try to show it to the outside world. The time for true self. And when Hank farted, everyone's disgusting reaction Hank didn't care too much, because he could finally accept other people's dislikes calmly - it wasn't that scary.
Finally, I want to say that people who don't understand this movie are happy.
