God created the world in seven days. God said: "There must be love between the heaven and the earth, men and women must love each other, and insects, beasts, and birds must love each other." It was just like that. Men and women love each other according to their kind; all beasts love each other according to their kind. In this way, there was night, morning, and the eighth day! George in the film is a low IQ person suffering from "Down syndrome". He lives in a special nursing home, like a big cold iron box. No one loves him, so he often dreams of his kind mother in his dreams. He touched his face and said, "You are the smartest child, and you are the best gift God has given me." One day, George left the nursing home with his family portrait and his dog. It was a rainy night. Salesman Charlie drove the car full of thoughts and accidentally killed George's dog, and then George and Charlie came together! The story is more peaceful and depressing. The two men who walked together because of chance and coincidence are looking for what they have lost but cannot tell them. They have a common desire-home. When everything becomes false, when you are tired, only home can awaken the lost self. Only in caring can you feel warmth between people. But the intrigue of the real society has isolated us in this vacuum without warmth. In the film, two seemingly different men have the same qualities. I think the only warm place in this film is that George and his patients went to find Xia Li, went to the amusement park late at night, had awkward sex with the woman she loved, and set off colorful fireworks with Xia Li. ...Fireworks are warm, and fireworks are also the loneliest. After watching this film, I really feel despair. If the things I want really happen and do not affect me, I really don’t need to care too much, because only such giving up is true despair. Unlike "Rain Man", "Forrest Gump" and "I'm Sam", George in "The Eighth Day" is a real "Down syndrome" patient. He doesn't know performance at all. Maybe he doesn't know what performance is. He just lives in the film, his own smile, his own distress, his own way, telling a story he doesn't understand. At the end of the film, George jumped out of the tall building after eating his favorite chocolate and flew out of his body. The narrator whispered: "God created the sun on the first day, water, clouds, and humans on the second day... On the eighth day, God still felt that the world was not perfect, so he created George!" On the eighth day, God really created George, and can we really be saved?
