Numb
What does it feel like when you get up struggling to prevent the line of reality from blurring into dreams that you just wake up from? You know perfectly well that the reality won't go anywhere but still can't you perceive it with your own sense. You know people are there but you just can not imagine they are the same person as you with personal consciousness. Things go wrong and you know it but you do not know what to do.
The movie makes a brave trial trying to define both what a anxiety disorder psychotics looks like in others' eyes and what he really feels. And I had to admit that the later part is gorgeously well-down. He brings me into his world, but it's probably due to me sharing similar experience rather than the movie being great.
The movie hints on many family influences shaping his character but must be missed by few for the sake of romance. The argument between his mother and himously reveals his childhood as loveless and careless, a void impeded him to seek comfort through his father(probably why his death was so feared) and , later, on Sara. But does not it seems strange for a girl as beautiful as Sara to fall in love with some doomed guy when they first met? Well, though the movie does not specifically point it out, I guess Sara experienced something similar that makes her longing for a companion who guard loyally and who would never leave. Such a desire is what she truly meant when she spoke of her ideal partners at the moment she fell in love with him. But she was, eventually, not in the same world as his and would move forward when she got what she wanted.Yeah, tears crept on her check at their last confrontation , few months after break-up. But I personally interpreted it only as a retrospective sign since those pearl-like tears were all she reacted.
This film does not deploy what Sara thought as much as it did with him, through which the film successfully isolates him from everyone including his better half who he loved the most. However, such isolation is delivering to watchers with a humorous air which some may find unrealistic and too optimistic. But what we should always keep in mind is that movie is an art piece and the real life characters cease to be real as soon as they enter it. We get what the producer trying to say and that's fine.
