Those pretentious mediocre people should have chills after reading it. They shouldn't be given another dose of anesthetic, because everyone knows that they will never get rid of it, and Tang will always be the drunken talker. No daydreams, no placebos. Tang will always be Tang, maybe a minute later, maybe a day later, he will be the same. But the ignorant people spoil them without scruples and help them grow.
It was not Tang who was really guilty, but Helen who spoiled him and turned into a monster.
The ending is just a good wish, an unrealistic fantasy, not a realistic appearance.
Billy arranged the most successful ending for the film that turned into a missionary film, but he couldn't hide the vainness inside.
