This movie is about an autistic boy who dominates the game world, but is bullied by his classmates for a long time in real life. Rei" (who played his mage role in the game), and achieved Nirvana rebirth in real life with her company and guidance.

I wouldn't say this is a healing movie, because most of the time in the whole movie, he was bullied by his classmates in various ways, and he could only endure it helplessly, even completely and truly It’s impossible to report these things to teachers or parents. Many viewers who are used to watching hot-blooded or inspirational films watching this kind of plot may have to rush to send blades to the screenwriter. Shouldn’t they be as brave as in the game world at this time? Do you stand up and resist? I have always felt very depressed, not because of his miserable experience, but because I think this is the reality.

Yes, I think that apart from the part of the final Nirvana rebirth, this film well presents the psychological world of autistic patients and the phenomenon of school bullying that cannot be ignored today. It is a realistic film. . Real and cruel, there is no so-called hero, and there is no chicken soup in the cure movie. The only person who can truly save himself is himself. Autistic children will always live in their own world. He is comfortable and colorful in his own little world, but in real life, it will only make everyone think he is dumb and stupid, and no one can really walk into them. His mind, including those experts and doctors who thought they knew them well, was forced to learn many things just to better fit into this more popular world, a world that didn't belong to him at all. At the end of the film, there is a sentence: "I have learned a lot of things in this world, but I forgot to learn one crucial thing, that is, to learn to deceive, to learn to lie." It's ironic, his simplicity and silence He was bullied, and he set up a well-meaning deception with a little trick learned from human sociology, but he won everyone's attention and respect.

Although there are no heroic characters with their own halo in the film, there are also several indispensable characters. Taking care of his mother every day; teachers who did nothing even though they knew he was being bullied; did not join the bullying but did not dare to publicly resist and could only do their best to help his classmates. These people are real-life portrayals of people who have been featured in countless real-life bullying incidents, people with good intentions but unable to save them from their misery. But as Ben's mother put it: "There has to be a death to get people to take this seriously."

The world of children is simple, but not all beautiful. Their black and white are clearly defined, and there is no so-called gray area. The cruelty can be more straightforward and thorough, and the damage and impact caused are of course more profound. There are two lines I hate: "Poor people have something to hate." and "A slap doesn't make a sound."

Society always lies about the victims, while the real perpetrators are ignored. Ben said, "Why is it always me?" Perhaps, if more people on his growth path stood with him and understood him more, he would be more courageous to face those Evil forces.

Of course, the role of Scarlett must be mentioned in this film. Many people didn't realize until the end of the film that what happened with Ben and Scarlett was just a one-man show of Ben's fantasy. In fact, there are also hints in the film. In the whole dark and gloomy film, only Scarlett's clothes and expressions have always been bright and bright, which are out of tune with the surrounding environment, somewhat inconsistent, and the characters in the film are in addition to Ben also had no one-sided show with her. Many people regret that such a beautiful person is just an illusion, and their psychology is somewhat collapsed, but when I think about it again, it is expected that such a good person is of course an illusion, so as to realize the ending of the protagonist's self-salvation, proving that there is only oneself. It is the lifesaver of poverty.

After watching the film, the biggest feeling is to give autistic children more understanding and space, and not to forcefully invade their self-world. As the doctor in the film said: "Autism is not his fault, it just needs people to understand more." For various reasons, autistic patients are less likely to interact with normal people, but in real life, if they encounter Here, please be kind. In addition, we should pay attention to the bullying incidents on campus. Now there are many incidents of children being bullied at school. Most of them are a group of children surrounding a child, verbally insulting or beating him or her, or even beating him or her. Sexual assault and recording. Victims do not dare to tell teachers or parents when they are threatened, so this kind of abuse will continue. Similarly, this kind of psychological trauma will become bigger and bigger, and it will become more and more inferior, and it may even become a little extreme. , like Ben in the film, may do something extreme and irreversible. If parents and teachers can give children more correct guidance and teach them the correct three views, the society can cultivate a better atmosphere, and the school can establish a better supervision and punishment mechanism, such tragedies may be less, of course, this is indispensable The efforts of each of us.
