Bipolar: Children who cannot grow up

I didn't expect it to be a very good movie. It explains this "disease" very well in details, and it is very real. Bipolar is more suitable to be with children than anyone else, because they have never grown up psychologically, are emotionally frozen in their childhood, can't control themselves at all, extremely excited and extremely desperate. When this person is mildly restless, he is often full of charm, strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge, abundant vitality and creativity, endless words, humorous and innocent. But in an instant, he would be irritated by a word, one thing, and an unstoppable tendency of violence would occur. When all the storms subsided, this soul would fall into endless self-spurning and unlovable life. It was also at these times that they might feel that they were sick and that they needed treatment, just as Cam went to the river to calm down after a fight with others before he was willing to pull out the medicine in the cupboard. Bipolar doesn't believe that medicine can cure himself. He can clearly realize that those craziness and collapse are an inseparable part of him, and what the mood stabilizer is trying to deprive is the original self.
Bipolar often starts to get sick in his youth, which is why Cam can't graduate from Harvard. All the rules and responsibilities are too much for him, and his heart can't return to peace after a brief rebellion like others. Although these responsibilities and rules also oppress most people, for bipolar, it is tens of thousands of times painful for such a child who is not growing up. How can one expect a child to go step by step from nine to five. To work. At this point, bipolar is a family nightmare. Fortunately, Cam has a good wife who is willing to work hard to take up the role of the "husband" and did not abandon him. The two children have been by their side as good friends who belittle him, torture him, love him, and rely on him. The love of Cam's family prevented him from completely falling into a spiritual whirlpool. The tens of thousands of bipolars in other worlds may not have such good luck. This is another "mental illness" with a high suicide rate.
There is no ups and downs in the film, but it pays attention to the subtleties. Cam's messy room, his weird things, a box of wires and scimitars, countless photos and non-stop music at home, powerful hands-on ability , There are too many artists hidden in the bipolar.
This film is a slowly unfolding picture scroll, which paints a precious portrait of a child-like adult.
