The film is divided into two parts, one part is the world in the eyes of the sick Arthur, and the other part is the world in the eyes of normal people.

In the eyes of normal people, the foxholes that Arthur saw, the police officers, the evil scientists, these people were all normal residents of the former Wande town, and the lady who helped him was an eyewitness at the crime scene of illegal immigrants. Wande Town is now an abandoned town.

The world in Arthur's eyes was created by himself combined with the surrounding environment. Arthur cuts out newspaper photos of the persecution of immigrants and tells a story in his sick mind about a conspiracy in the town of Wander. In this story, he became a hero, a warrior. When he heard the news of the persecution of immigrants, the town of Wande in his mind was a den of bandits who specially entrapped illegal immigrants, and because of his brave investigation, the bandits aroused their crazy ambitions, killed his daughter, and killed his daughter. Letting his wife lose consciousness, he himself fell into the boundless sea of ​​suffering and lost himself. In his imagination, he came to Wande Town and was tracked by the police in collusion with the bandits. Here, he risked his life to contact the victim's family, obtain evidence, and fight against the criminals. And when he knew the woman he thought was a badass was an eyewitness, he put her in his mind as his supporter, and in turn created his experience of working with her to eliminate those bandits and bad cops. When he ends up in a mental hospital and learns that Jimmy has been beheaded and put in the trunk of his car, he makes another scene where Jimmy and the woman are doing the right thing and putting all the blame on him, chess piece , a scapegoat or a dead man, a silent fighter, he found a higher reason to fight for himself, and because of this, he believed that he was also a person persecuted by bandits, so he thought of the conclusive evidence, chip , In this way, in order to prove that he is the fighter, he began to use the pen stolen from the nurse as a scalpel, and dug out the "chip" in his eyes from his own body. In this way, he believed in himself and finally gained the freedom of thought.

The film depicts a deeply distressed mental patient's search for himself. The world in the eyes of the mentally ill is incomprehensible to ordinary people, and he has created various roles for the characters in his mind, and these roles come from his usual search for relevant information. Then put the characters in the information on the heads of ordinary people, and put a title of justice on their heads, in order to relieve the pain in their hearts, fight against those imagined enemies until victory.

The movie switches between the visions of normal and Arthur, and I feel a little brain-burning. Even if it is important to distinguish which is Arthur and which is normal, it is also very interesting.

Because the picture of the movie is a problem of the spiritual world, it looks tense, unclean, and the color is very strange, but this is probably the situation that should appear.

Wander quotes

  • Arthur Bretnik: None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

  • Arthur Bretnik: All right, Thought Junctioneers. Think about it. You're going to work five days a week. You're working 80 hours a week and you're bringing home 40% of your paycheck. I wanna know where the money is.There's tunnels, there's bunkers underneath this earth. They have every bit of, uh, technological modus operandi. And yet you can't even put gas in the car.

    Jimmy Cleats: That's what they do. Slip it in real slow, take advantage of our inherent suggestibility. It's called, "Incrementalism."
