The world of schizophrenics: everything is possible

When I saw it for about forty minutes, I fell asleep shamelessly, sweating...= =

Fortunately, there is a little horror and suspense in this film. After waking up, I finally finished watching it, mainly because I want to know what the director wants in the end. How to explain that "angel" and the car accident that he predicted, and then the protagonist was suddenly awakened that he was mentally ill, and everything that happened before was just his own yawning. Wow, okay~~~ Wow! ! The most disgusting thing is that the director wants to set up a lot of suspense for you to suffocate your appetite. Look and see with hope. In the end, the director threw you a sentence "The protagonist is schizophrenic, and everything is his own YY" Just call the curtain. Sure enough, everything is possible in the world of mental patients. But I can’t figure it out. Why are there so many schizophrenics? Why are there so many screenwriters and directors who love to talk about the YY of schizophrenics? ? ? ?

Fortunately, the film did not end immediately. Since Ben was told that he was mentally ill, it was 20+ minutes before the end of the film, and everything had just begun (but it was a little late at the beginning. The first more than an hour co-production was made to hypnotize the audience. Yeah, uncle director). The following plot is a bit similar to "The World of Trumen", but the new idea is to issue torture of the law and the death penalty. Although this method of fabricating the past and fabricating life for others by forging medical records is not humane, at least, the film proposes something. A bold idea that can replace the death penalty.

In short,
one star was given to Paul Walker, but he didn't expect his beard to be equally handsome.

Give one star to that dog, it's very cute. (When I saw the combination of Paul Walker and the dog, I thought of "Octave below Minus")

One star was given to "Project Paradise" (although William's suicide and Ben's escape implied the infeasibility of this plan, but in any case, it is I should give stars for this bold vision.)

  • [first lines]

    Katie Garvey: Daddy, what's the greatest thing you ever saw?

    Ben Garvey: Greatest thing you ever saw. Umm. One time when I was a little boy, I was playing with my slingshot and I saw this Jaybird. I don't know why but I shot him.

    Katie Garvey: You killed a birdie?

    Ben Garvey: I didn't mean to. I don't even know why I shot at him, but I felt so bad, I started praying to God that he would come back. And all of a sudden the Jaybird woke up. He just flew away.

    Katie Garvey: God saved him?

    Ben Garvey: Yeah, I think so.

  • Ben Garvey: I did something real bad. Something that I didn't mean to do.

    Katie Garvey: Like the Jaybird?
