When lonely

A drug addict who attempted to commit suicide was looking for motivation during the day when he returned to society, but he finally decided to commit suicide. Under the weakened social role of family friendship and alienation, it is the loneliness and meaninglessness of life that are constantly introspecting and feeling, and even desire is lost in this emptiness. He roamed the streets of his hometown, recalling the enlightened education of his parents, trying to find out the reason for his corruption: "She is tolerant to drug use...Democracy is the best option...They respect my privacy, maybe too much. They taught me that religion is weak. I don’t know if I agree. They never taught me to cook or form a relationship, but they seem happy. They never told me how friendship disappeared until my friends became strangers. ，Leave a name only. They allow me to be picky about food. She said that I can do what I want and decide who I want to be, who I want to love, and where I want to live. They will always help me. They are harsher to my sister than to me ". This calm narration is not only a sober recognition, but also a complex interlocking of different emotions. Just like every lonely person, he also faces this situation: he understands the reason of loneliness, but he is wandering in pain and enjoyment. As for desire, it is not so much dying, as it is carrying high expectations. The film begins with a suicide attempt after sex, and ends with an overdose without worry, mixed with re-ignited desires and his consciously indifferent to these desires, until he realizes that the excitement once became not enough excitement, and the peak turns into Plain. Not only that, he also injected this sense of loss into the world he perceives. In a café scene, he sits alone and observes everyone around him: listening to their conversations, from one table to the other, understanding their desires, looking at their naive visions, like an old man kindly Looking at the children; the passers-by passing by outside the window, through their backs, he imagined their respective lonely lives. This true expression of the lonely experience is what attracted me the most in this movie.
