man standing in lonely shadow

I've always wondered if it's loneliness to choose a genius? Or does genius choose to be alone? In the end is a genius so lonely? Or does loneliness make genius? Either way, the two always go hand in hand.
I watched this movie intermittently. The first time I watched it, I accidentally fell asleep in the middle of the night. I needed to watch it when I was very awake and carefully savor the dialogue inside. There is no interlocking complex in the form of the film itself, and the characters are actually quite vague. The whole focus is on the expression of the writer himself. A little bit of the writer's thoughts and thoughts are created by the reporter's identity at most. There are so many pain points, but this maybe we can hide the embarrassment of the past with a laugh, but it triggers the writer to really analyze and express with me, so that the connotation of the story can be advanced.
The whole film has a clean temperament, a relaxed atmosphere, and a deep theme. The two main actors are very comfortable. It is a film suitable for watching alone, and then self-reflection and encouragement.
The ending is reasonable, not unexpected or sad. The world is destined to tolerate people who disagree, and the writer who chooses to commit suicide is a representative of this type of people in the process of fighting against himself. His sensitive loneliness made him, but also took him out of this world.
