What are some movies that have a profound interpretation of loneliness?

You probably just want to be happy, everyone does. You will find people who make you happy, such as a friend, a partner, a dog.

- "Swiss Army Knife Man"

In a movie with a "taste", the male protagonist Hank was about to hang himself, when the body Manny drifted from the sea to the island with the sound of "poof, poof"...

In the film, the Swiss Army Knife refers to the corpse manny, which is as versatile as a Swiss army knife. The corpse manny can fart, make the corpse sail like a hovercraft, use its head as a hammer, and flow out a steady stream of fresh water from its mouth. Little brother can show the way...

Because he was too lonely, Hank kept chatting with Manny, self-directed and acted high, and the corpse Manny gradually became aware of the self-disconnection from human society:

"You're broken and empty and dirty and smelly and old and useless. You're like trash, right?"

"You wanted to go home so you could be loved? But you ran away because you felt no one loved you?"

After reading it, it was very depressing, and I felt that part of it was myself. Maybe the island was just a metaphor. This small and fresh story called shit, urine and fart is a comedy with a tragic core, and it is a person's extreme loneliness.

    It seems absurd, but it is heavy. The distance between life and death is really not far, and self-awareness and self-salvation are only a thin line. I don't know if anyone is like me, my heart is surging when I see the last corpse walking away on the waves.
