three impressions

After reading it, the most impressive three points are:

1. The game operation that appears in reality.
Purely in terms of the way of expression, it makes me who likes games shine; of course, it shows that Ben is gradually confusing reality and games.

Second, the constantly shaking lens.
I'm a person who doesn't like looking at shaky footage, and now I get dizzy when playing first-person 3D games. But I have to admit that this kind of shot is very powerful in expressing Ben's inner unease and fear...

3. At the end of the film, Ben didn't have a caring girl by his side.
Maybe this poor boy has schizophrenia in addition to autism. A confidante who finally appeared just disappeared out of thin air. I thought that although it was a cliché, the happy ending turned out not to be a happy one. It made me feel more disappointed when I watched it, but it also made this movie more profound.
