The helplessness of gregarious creatures, we need a mask to hide our true desires so that we can endure the violation of others in our own domain, and we need to use this mask to integrate ourselves into the group. A person without a mask, like dancing naked in radio gymnastics, either makes others feel selfish or feels too rigid. The face, or appearance, is your lubricant in the group life, and I think everyone has the benefits and the benefits. For socio-ethical reasons, we cannot express outright distaste for a person whose physical appearance is different from normal because of non-competitive factors. But it is undeniable that our underlying physical and psychological feelings of alienation, fear, and even disgust towards those who are different from our own aesthetics or perceptions of the appearance of our kin. The protagonist of the film, Okuyama, was burned beyond recognition in an accident, and he was covered in bandages all the time. In this way, he has nothing to hide in the eyes of outsiders, and the bandage becomes another mask for him. It says "poor", "weird" and "alien". Having lost his normal appearance, he has been forced to leave his original social relationship. Although no one rejected him head-on, the pity and indecision they always showed pushed him into the dark little by little. Having lost his face and mask, he made himself a test subject to get a mask from a doctor. This mask gave him unlimited freedom and became a transparent person who could not be pursued in society. This made it difficult for him to adapt, so that he felt as if he was being controlled by a mask, like those who wear masks for a long time and can't look directly into their hearts.
