Seeing that at the end, Ben was still talking to the air, maybe he was still thinking, how nice it would be if that girlfriend really existed. That would really be a happy ending. What was originally a comedy ended in tragedy. Seeing him and his imaginary girlfriend talk and laugh like normal people, it's very warm, I'm really happy for him from the bottom of my heart. But the reality is too cruel.

But thinking about it carefully, Ben has been fighting with himself. Girlfriends in Unreal games are just a sustenance. It was true that the woman was coming to his city. Ben saw her start at the station after leaving the note, maybe after getting off the train in Brussels, maybe it was all he imagined. It was on the boat that I started to be suspicious because ben was the only one who noticed her.

Ben has always had a plan. He wants to be reborn from death just like in the game. Autistic, he never speaks his mind. In the eyes of others, he is an outlier. In fact, he is just like a normal person, with a normal IQ and good grades in school. This is all caused by the environment. From childhood to adulthood, Ben grew up in humiliation. The less he did not communicate with others, the more autistic he became, leading to a vicious circle. He lives in his own world. He has a rich heart and a lot of ideas. He understands his mom, he understands his dad.

He wants to change himself, and the girlfriend in the virtual game is his introduction. She told him to go beyond himself, to change himself. But he has been autistic for so many years since he was a child, and he doesn't know how to change. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank those two hateful classmates. Another humiliation in that park; also knowing that a virtual girlfriend is coming; plus the drugs they give, Ben fantasizes about the existence of a girlfriend for the first time.

The plans he couldn't do by himself made him imagine that his girlfriend would do it for him, but it was actually his own heartfelt actions. Suicide while lying on the rails, relying on a fantasy girlfriend to stop oneself. The horror stories of various suicides told by his fantasy girlfriend at his house showed that he didn't want to die in his heart. Also complete an amazing resurrection plan with the help of a fantasy girlfriend. In fact, that girlfriend does not exist, everything is his self-salvation. Mom, Dad, Dad's girlfriend helped complete the plan, rebirth in death.

The film is said to be based on true events and the novel of the same name. What is the reality behind the film? We have to learn to communicate, we don't want to hurt others, but at least we have to live.

    Everyone has the right to exercise their own freedom, but everyone's rights have limits, and the limit is that they cannot violate the freedom of others; everyone has the right to live; to exercise their own rights and respect the rights of others, group their own rights.

    After seeing half of it, I thought that the unbearable Ben would get a gun and bloody the campus. But since this is a movie, why can't it tell a somewhat idealized happy ending? I think it has served its purpose. The ending is warm, very touching and thought-provoking.
