Mutual sympathy
Eliza 2021-12-31 08:02:23
At that time, Depp's transparent, clear and youthful appearance was really jealous, but now he is just a raisin. Can't help but think of the classic analogy in the play: raisins are humiliated, soulless, and twisted grapes. The opening sentence implies a mystery: need, what does it mean to need someone? The play seems to answer this question. But I didn't want to understand: Is there a universality in the mutual sympathy between different species? Depp's performance was wonderful, but it didn't save this empty script.

Benny: Hey. Where's Sam?
Joon: I didn't mean to kick him out. I mean, I didn't kick him out, he just - he just left.
Benny: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What - What happened? Did something happen?
Joon: He just - he just left. He was - he was in the air and-and-and - with a thing and - that was really loud. It was really loud. And all- I-I just kept seeing... He didn't mean to do it.
Benny: Do it? What? What- Did he- What did he do?
Joon: He cleaned the house.
