Rather than a humanistic care film, it is more appropriate to reflect the current situation of society.
A newspaper reporter accidentally discovered a street artist. At first, he just wanted to write a column and find a topic. However, more and more people are paying attention to this wandering artist, which also prompted him to help him re-enter society. Gradually integrated into the life of this homeless person, the homeless person also gradually became dependent on the reporter, and the reporter also felt disgusted, but still continued to help him. When he really wanted to push the homeless to the pinnacle of art, he escaped again and was unwilling to face it. Of course, at the end of the story, it led to the good side. The homeless had a house and was accompanied by family and friends.
Perhaps, while watching the film, I will feel that the homeless are mentally ill, but more reflection is that social problems, environmental pollution, homeless people, drug addicts, all kinds of things are improperly handled by the government The problem.

    Steve Lopez: "Points West" by Steve Lopez. A year ago, I met a man who was down on his luck and thought I might be able to help him. I don't know that I have. Yes, my friend Mr. Ayers now sleeps inside. He has a key. He has a bed. But his mental state and his well-being, are as precarious now as they were the day we met. There are people who tell me I've helped him. Mental health experts who say that the simple act of being someone's friend can change his brain chemistry, improve his functioning in the world. I can't speak for Mr. Ayers in that regard. Maybe our friendship has helped him. But maybe not. I can, however, speak for myself. I can tell you that by witnessing Mr. Ayers's courage, his humility, his faith in the power of his art, I've learned the dignity of being loyal to something you believe in, of holding onto it. Above all else, of believing, without question, that it will carry you home.
