The soul can only walk alone

I suddenly felt that a book I read recently as the title of this movie is really appropriate. Watching the full movie, the only word that comes to my mind is "loneliness", yes, the loneliness of nowhere to be said.

Paul, his suicidal wife and Jeanne are actually living in their own world, seemingly intimate relationship, do you really know what the other person is thinking? I always feel that compared to his wife's tragic and decisive suicide and leaving him, what Paul can't accept is that he doesn't know why she did this. It is a denial of everything in the past. The body is close, but the soul is far away. What kind of sadness? If you are unfortunate enough to have met such a person in your life, I believe you will understand his heart-piercing pain.

And Paul's relationship with Jeanne, I think, is an obvious empathy, and he uses this to seek psychological balance. Jeanne's recklessness finally brought a ray of light to Paul's gray life. He wanted to catch it, but was rejected by Jeanne, and finally fell in a pool of blood. Is this telling us that no one can save us except ourselves. . .
