Adam, a lonely man with autism in social interaction, in the process of interacting with his new neighbor Beth, he approached love, experienced love, and finally lost love... He experienced a feeling he had never experienced in his 29 years of self-isolation. With hurt, pain and pleasure.
In fact, we can predict from the beginning that this relationship will not have results. Although Adam has astronomical talents, a simple and pure heart, and a taste for innocence - these are qualities that cannot be possessed by "successful people" who are chasing material money and mediocre and lost all day long. And quality, but we can't ignore that Adam is indeed a "social autistic" living in real life, and his way of thinking and expression system are different from "ordinary people". There is no discrimination here, as Adam himself says in the film, so did Einstein and Mozart. Maybe a genius is a genius after all, that is, different from ordinary people, no matter if you call him a lunatic. Besides, why don't we sometimes suffer from this kind of autism?
When Adam talks about astronomy and other things he is good at, his professional attitude, persistent affection, and smooth expression make you laugh at him regardless of whether people around him are interested or not. Accepting also feels pity for such a person, and this pity is not entirely sympathy, but more admiration.
Tragic characters shape tragic fates, but Adam is lucky. He meets Beth, the most powerful weapon in the world that can destroy all stubborn diseases - love. Love is a good medicine for him, whether it is sweet love, or Beth chooses to leave in the end. Because love is quietly transforming Adam, transforming Adam's ability to talk to others.
Although the ultimate breakup is painful, just like good medicine is bitter, if you want to walk faster, you must push away the support of others, and if you want to fly higher, you must overcome the fear of heights. Beth's departure puts the love on the right track.
The film does not describe the painful scenes of Adam after his breakup, nor does it describe Adam's struggle afterward. It just arranges such a short episode at the end of the film: Beth sent a letter, Adam opened it on the bench, and looked at the past. The published story of the raccoon - the good times he had been watching raccoons with Beth in his memory. His locked eyebrows also gradually unfolded with the opening of the book, and a smile appeared in his eyes. The smile is sweet, natural, and comes from his heart. Before that, there is a detailed description, he took the initiative to help a female colleague to move things - this is in stark contrast to the new neighbor Beth carrying a large suitcase and passing him indifferently at the beginning of the film. From "autism" to "helping others", from having "love" to losing "love", Adam is getting a new life. Love is actually a kind of medicine, and for him, it is a kind of good medicine for curing diseases...
When we are experiencing love, or are losing love, please treat it as a kind of bitter medicine...
…walk on ,walk on,walk on,you cannot go back now... (the songs at the end are very nice)
