It seems that the mentally ill are the winners in life

I regret that I watched it so late. I just selected the WAtop3 I watched yesterday. If I choose again today, Zelig will be ranked first. When I thought this movie just said "people should be themselves", Woody Allen told me that I can't overdo it. "Do everything against others" and "Everything is the same as others". They are both self-denial and both. Low self-esteem; when I thought this movie was about “accepting yourself” and “being yourself”, Woody Allen told me that the disguise to “fit in” and “cater to” is a price to pay; when I marveled that it turned out to be so scoring At such a high level, Woody Allen once again told me "If you are a mental patient, you will have a lot of patience" with the phrase "up and down subversive across the Atlantic". Later, the "expert" also said that "his confusion made him a hero." When I was still deeply shocked, WoodyAllen threw us a question at the end-"If Zelig had the courage to say what he wanted in his heart instead of pretending to be someone else, what would be the result?" Let me make a bold guess: there may not be any "results".
The most I see are questions about "self". But I think there is still a question about us as "others"-people liked him at first, then didn't like him, and then they liked him after crossing the Atlantic. The problem). Perhaps the "other" fault makes it difficult for us to "be ourselves", so confusion can be a hero.
Finally, I would like to say a digression. I think the biggest problem with WoodyAllen is that no matter what it says, it is inseparable from love and marriage between men and women. There must be this topic. I can't help but sigh that he is a straight man.

Zelig quotes

  • Leonard Zelig: [in a hypnotic trance] My brother beat me. My sister beat my brother. My father beat my sister and my brother and me. My mother beat my father and my sister and me and my brother. The neighbors beat our family. The people down the block beat the neighbors and our family.

  • Leonard Zelig: I'm 12 years old. I run into a Synagogue. I ask the Rabbi the meaning of life. He tells me the meaning of life... But, he tells it to me in Hebrew. I don't understand Hebrew. Then he wants to charge me six hundred dollars for Hebrew lessons.
