Why is it called KING?

Charlie is a person who lives outside the modern social system. Freedom is the real freedom, the freedom of the unity of form and spirit, which is close to the freedom of primitive humans. People like him have no historical limitations. They can live like this through any age because his energy is busy. In the world of practicing self-understanding, there is no time to care about the current era background, political system, and mainstream values. . . He is cooler than anti-social and anti-government, because he doesn't feel that there is anything that can restrain him, so he can't resist. Later, Charlie was judged to be a lunatic in the mainstream social concept, and he was sent to a mental hospital for reform. People did not comment, did not resist, did not waste time, continued unfinished self-practice, and embarked on a new adventure.

Charlie cannot be completely detached, his only connection with reality is Miranda, because Miranda is a child who abides by social norms. Of course a child is always easily influenced by things around her. When her father is in a mental hospital, her only spiritual sustenance is society. She has to abide by the rules and support herself; but when the father returns home, she has been in contact with the extraordinary father for a long time and is rebellious. My genes are activated, and I started a treasure hunt with my father. Although the days have become absurd, we found that the little girls who have escaped the shackles of social norms also have a childish side. The smiles on the young faces are much more than before, although the days are more I'm struggling. It can be seen that social rules can only guarantee that you can live in this era. You will have an identity but do not care about whether you are happy or not. Sometimes the rules are even to sacrifice yourself and happiness.

Treasure hunt is the most wonderful arrangement of the whole story, it means puns. For Charlie, the treasure he found was to prove his ideals and the trust his daughter gave. For Miranda, the treasure found is real wealth and father's love.

...Then,I started to see that all my life.I've been trying to do something great.But then I realized that I was laying the groundwork for you.You know ,to do something great or whatever... this It was what the father said to his daughter before jumping back into the river. At the end I realized what this movie has brought me. It turns out that my father is also an idealist. It turns out that he has been reading books all night for so many years and doing his copycat experiments is not for other reasons, but for me to do something great. or whatever. Very shocked, I should find a suitable opportunity to talk to my father, I want him to know that I understand him a little bit, at least I promise not to laugh at him as a copycat scientist.
