After reading it, I feel that the translated name is very appropriate. From the beginning to the end of the movie, the male protagonist found the true meaning of detachment from the initial false detachment to the end, and also started a new life with Erica.
With the keyword of detachment, from the beginning of the movie I tried to label the male protagonist as detached. Probably because my current situation is the same as that of the male protagonist at the beginning. I think that it is the best state to live my own life independently without being fettered by others. This is also the reason why I started to think that male protagonists can be labeled as detached .
The male protagonist's false detachment is manifested in the fact that he only serves as a classroom teacher, and does not like to stay in a certain school stably; he hopes to do his best to save the stubborn students, but in fact, he always stands outside the other party's events, the most typical The example is a chubby female student. When she came to the male protagonist and wanted to talk to him, the male protagonist's first reaction was to ask her if she needed to find Dr. Doris (the school's psychiatrist), and their conversation was also There was no good result, which led to the suicide of the female student. Described in one sentence, the male protagonist seems to be very involved in the WTO, but he can easily withdraw, which is also the false detachment that the movie wanted to show at the beginning. To use what Erica said when she first met the male protagonist "You have no feelings".
An important character in the movie is Erica, her appearance has brought changes to the male protagonist's life. The male protagonist was still a fake detachment at the beginning, taking Erica home to give her food and shelter, so that she would not have to wander the streets at her age. After discovering that Erica had become dependent on herself, she immediately called the staff of the child care center to take her away. But it was also the separation from Erica and the death of the female student that shattered the male protagonist's detached cognitive protective shell.
I'm thankful that I experienced the same cognitive changes as the male lead, and the movie ended with a sense of enlightenment. What is true detachment? I think what the movie wants to tell us is that it is not detachment to go one's own way, to nest in the protective shell that one has imagined, to be afraid of harm and avoid the possibility of harm happening. The real detachment should be to have the courage to love and experience even if you know that you may be hurt, to taste the ups and downs, to feel the various conditions of life, just like there is a saying, "It's not worth coming to this world for a walk."
