Adam is like Sheldon, a paranoid with a high IQ, unable to communicate with normal people, indulged in the Big Bang theory, does not like change, has serious social difficulties, obsessive-compulsive disorder, can not understand other people's jokes, and has never been blunt. The language does not shy away from the feelings of others. Sheldon in TBBT has brought laughter to countless audiences. His weird but charming charm has become one of the most popular characters in American dramas. The male protagonist Adam in the movie ADAM seems more real, but because of the cruel reality makes people always happy. stand up. Adam has no friends in his life except for his late father’s close friends. He always eats the same breakfast at the same place alone, works on the computer while eating dinner, and imitates watching TV talk shows countless times. Host, a person sitting on the steps to watch the passing crowd, and a person came to Central Park to watch the raccoons late at night...until Beth moved into the apartment.
The first time Beth went to dinner with Adam might be because he wanted to meet a new neighbor after moving. When she knocked on his door at the appointed time, he was already dressed up but he was trembling behind the door because of restlessness. He dared to answer the door, and cried out after hearing her leaving. Later, he showed her a slideshow of the Big Bang in the room. The beauty was so beautiful that she suffocated her. Later, he took her to Central Park late at night. When Beth saw the raccoon emerge from under the tree, all the happiness and unpleasantness were all too. Forgetting it, he would leave a small gift in front of her house every morning. Later, he put on a space suit and hung in mid-air to help her clean the windows, just because she said she couldn't see the sky... When Adam was caught When the toy company was dismissed, he was like a kid who had made a mistake, holding the cardboard box to avoid the eyes of the crowd and fleeing in panic. He was hesitating on the street when he came outside a kindergarten and watched the children laugh and play happily, but he was unable to express and vent his inner pain. He could only look at the mirror when he went home and hit his head with blood. The self in the mirror is also broken. But Beth fell in love with his sincerity at this time, studied Asperger's syndrome, and helped Adam prepare for the interview for a new job, and he also kissed her because of his inner touch.
After the two were together, even though there were happy moments, the process of running into each other was difficult. Beth has always been very accommodating to Adam. When going out to eat together, he will pack macaroni and cheese and go to Central Park to accompany him to eat. He will have a gathering with friends because Adam is out of place and will take him away early. If he wants to take Adam to see his parents, he will not tell him in advance because he is afraid that he will be nervous. , When he unintentionally offended her father, she was furious, but she would come to apologize the next morning...until Adam found out that Beth had hidden from seeing her parents. He couldn't bear the lies but didn't know how to express his inner anger. , So he threw something crazy and cursed her and her father with vicious words, and Beth finally couldn't bear to leave him.
In addition to the relationship between Adam and Beth, the story also interspersed with changes in the relationship between Beth and her father. Her father, whom she has always loved and trusted, was forced to reveal the fact that she had an affair in a lawsuit. The truth is always cruel, and such a majestic father had made unbearable mistakes and lies, and this made her unable to forgive her father. So at the end of the film, when Adam braved the heavy snow to come to Beth's door and asked her to go to California with her, and her father strongly opposed, she resolutely chose not to deceive Adam, who never lied. Although she didn't go to California with him in the end, she loved him, but she was not sure whether Adam really loved her, or just because she took care of him and helped him in life like a mother.
The truth is always cruel. In reality, Sheldon will not be so charming and interesting. He will never live happily in his own small world. He will be repelled by society and cannot survive. He will be unable to express loneliness, depression and even pain. In the end, only panic and tears are left at the end. The movie ending Adam came to California alone, adapted to his new job, and knew how to communicate with people. After receiving Beth's new book, he finally understood the emotion hidden behind the words after opening it. I don’t really like this seemingly beautiful ending. Although Adam, who was cured or forced to change by this relationship, can finally survive in this society, he is no longer him, just like Sheldon will one day become normal. I believe it will not be so popular anymore. Of course, this is probably just my selfish thoughts as a viewer^^.

PS: The actor's performance is great, and the movie's OST is also very good, it is worth listening to.
