The protagonist of the film, Melvin, is an old man who almost hates ghosts. "He has incredible cleanliness, paranoia, and weirdness. He can mess up other people's good moods in three sentences. Get along with him for three minutes. You can let others hate him from the bottom of their hearts." But it is obvious that all this is not his original intention, he is a mentally ill patient with complex symptoms. He lives in fear all day, fearing the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, fearing that the ground cracks will lead to missteps, and fearing people's physical and mental harm to him. Therefore, he worked hard to defend. He repeatedly cleaned his body with boiling water and new soap. He insisted on using his own disposable plastic tableware. He did not make physical contact with anyone. He stood tiptoe to avoid every tiny crack on the ground. He locks the door repeatedly, and when he talks to others, he will inevitably attack each other.
All he did was a reflexive defensive reaction brought about by morbid fear. As the patient himself, he would never feel any happiness because of this. Especially after the mouth hurts others, the patient will inevitably experience deep regret and low self-esteem. Because he was afraid that his vulnerability would become a target for others to attack before others, he had to conceal his distress. What a tired and miserable life this is!
As a mental patient of this type, there are some common depressed things in his heart, especially simplicity, kindness and integrity. Melvin is an example. As a severely hygienic patient, he became friends with a neighbor's dog. Because there was only one waiter, Carol Ken, served him, he actually fell in love with her, and he did not hesitate to take the initiative to communicate with others and ask a senior doctor to treat Carol's son. For Carol, he convinced himself to overcome all kinds of fears, hoping to become a good man recognized by society. For normal people, these are so simple...
For Carol, Melvin did his best. And what did Carol do? Even after Melvin confessed his illness to her, Carol still refused to understand his suffering, refused to communicate with him patiently, and refused to use realistic standards to demand this poor patient. She kept forcing Melvin to compliment her, but because Melvin’s sick speech improperly came out. She showed mercy to another partner in the same industry, and intimacy in front of Melvin made him more deeply alone. Of self-blame and loneliness.
She hurt the emotions of a seemingly aggressive but defenseless mental patient who was willing to give up arms in the face of love.
In real life, such behavior will push the patient to death, which is tantamount to murder.
Fortunately, there are gay neighbors to support Melvin, so he can go on firmly. When Carol asked again for some thought-provoking words, Melvin finally did not fail. As an excellent best-selling author, Melvin did not know how many sweet words he wrote, which touched the hearts of many teenage readers, but it was difficult to say a word in front of the beloved Carol. In his heart, those ridiculous compliments floating on the man's lips are nothing but false confession from the fantasy world. In the face of true love, they can only mean blasphemy. Therefore, Melvin's heartfelt simple words at the end of the film are even more touching.
The movie is over like this, but what will Meier do? If Carol is still pretending to squeeze tender and considerate love, if Melvin's will is a little lax, it will be some sleepless nights.
Poor Melvin.
We all know that even laughing at a lame dog is inhumane. If we are walking, even if the venue is empty, we will not blame a blind person who knocked over ourselves. We all know that they are patients, they are flawed in this respect, and we must tolerate them. But it's the turn of the mentally ill. How many people have really tolerated it? The son vomited, and Carol did not punish him because his clothes were stained with vomit, because of illness, because of love. Change to Melvin... don't want to imagine.
Therefore, I don't love the heroine. It is shameful to hurt a mental patient.
