Living is the greatest comfort

When I saw the name "BEN X", I immediately clicked it (as if I had never seen a Belgian film).
Without it, EVA X, BEN X, very much like YY.
Except for the occasional Flemish language in the film that interferes with my thinking, I listen and listen, but I basically focus on it from the beginning to the end.

The game screen at the beginning is very attractive, my favorite European cold weapon era.
These game scenes are used throughout the play to describe the world in BEN's fantasy.
The people around BEN explain some BEN situations in the form of monologues, such as TV programs (the ending knows that it is really a program in the film).
The protagonist's acting skills are a bit that, I don't know if I've seen "Rain Man" and others, or I'm not used to it because of the different places.
I prefer the director's description of the world of autism:
these people live in their own world but also exist in our world.
They are sensitive and very observant, strong enough to see the veins of a leaf, but they can't see the whole leaf or the whole tree, and they can't tell the difference between a tree and a wood.
BEN listened to a sentence from a young age to "you are special".
Is it special? To understand the world from another perspective is special.
Maybe people are just habitually projecting their own expectations onto the person he's looking at.
And BEN is just habitually letting others down.

BEN walking down the street and on campus often stares wide-eyed (OK, I know you want to be frightened but don't need to exaggerate).
Be sure to bring your phone, your heart rate monitor, and your watch.
When you come out of the house, you must go to the left, and before that, you must plug your ears and listen to the music.
When passing through the church, be sure to pay attention to Christ on the cross.
He didn't laugh when it was time to laugh, he didn't complain when it was time to complain, and when it was time to be angry...
When he was angry, he could only use the role of an online game to solve the enemies in reality in fantasy.
All people see is a BEN who reacts extremely abnormally and is easily bullied.

He was harassed during get out of class, pushed to the desk to take off his pants after class, and filmed and posted it on the Internet. After school, he was pressed on the grass and forced to swallow a drug.
When the drug attack happened, his mother found him.
He laughed, hugged his mother and kissed wildly, and said loudly that I was alright! I'm really good! They healed me!
He laughed and said that there was water coming out of mom's eyes, and every time I was a kid I wanted to get it back in my eyes.
Seeing this, the nose is slightly sour.

Then, his mother discovered the video of him being tricked, and his world fell apart.
He ran to the train station to find the magic healer in his online game, actually.
Although he never said a word to her, he just followed her and breathed her (like a pervert) and watched her take the train away in disappointment.
He asked his father, how many reasons do people need to commit suicide? Five? ten? Twenty?
Now, you have enough reasons.
He slowly walked towards the track, and the moment he jumped off, he felt someone pushed him down.
Loved it here, suggesting that the magician in his later fantasies encouraged him rather than discouraged him.
The girl hugged him and told him the horror and impossibility of various suicides, and encouraged him to establish a guild (seeking family members to commit suicide).
When I watched it, I was very confused. How could his parents agree, but they did.
He made a video of himself jumping into the sea on a cruise ship, which was then played on TV.

There were many people at the memorial service, and there were people who had been around BEN, who were good to him and not good to him.
However, when everyone was convinced of the fact that BEN was dead, a video of BEN appeared on the screen.
He's going to tell people the source of his pain, he needs revenge, real, real.
He played the happy, twisted faces of people who were secretly recorded while being fished.
The mother cried, the teacher who always cared about him cried, and the classmates who sympathized with him cried.
"I was killed by them."
Those who committed evil finally had a chance to face their conscience.

Then something unexpected happened, and BEN reappeared in front of everyone.
It turned out that everything was premeditated, suicide was fake, and revenge on the world was real.
Although dramatic enough, I still can't help but love the last scene.
In the general scenery of the game scene, BEN and Malus are grinding.
Remember when the movie started with just the horses in the game, BEN finally broke through and he started trying to feel the real thing.
His mother's BF told him that if you want to feel happy, you must first learn how to feel.
He tried, and finally, for the first time, felt what joy was.

When he talks to his magician, he only talks to himself in his own world.
From the moment the train left, his magician had left him, and all her was just his fantasy.
However, that was enough, wasn't it.
The mother said to her BF, yes, don't be surprised, he's just living in his own world, and most importantly, he's still alive.
What if you don't understand.
How about not being understood.
Living is the greatest reason and comfort.
