The inner world of a depressed person

This should be the kind of novel that is not suitable for adaptation into a movie. There is too much room for people to think. Even if you read it a few times, it is difficult to understand what the director wants to say. I personally feel that this film is a microcosm of the inner world of autistic patients. The heroine also hinted at the beginning of the film: The old man who led her to this valley is a depression patient, "If it wasn't for him to suffer from depression during his collection career , Maybe I don’t exist in this world anymore.” A depressed patient created an isolated valley for himself and confined his weak heart (heroine) here. In the hearts of autistic people, although there is the change of day and night, there is no concept of time passing, just like the old man whose neighbor is always catching water and the old woman on the bench. The film’s final diary also said: Now I believe that time is still, and I walk through it, sometimes slowly, sometimes at a high speed. The insurmountable hidden wall is the boundary between the heart and the society. They have doubted and fought against this invisible wall. In the film, whenever the heroine approaches this wall, there is a buzzing sound, as if from his mind. Deep-this description is very apt. When a person is drifting outside, in an unfamiliar environment, helplessly facing the vast sea of ​​people, there will be this kind of voice in his mind, which makes people unable to think. This should also be the first feeling that autistic people are preparing to step out of their hearts and enter society. The failure of the struggle brings despair to the external world, and the lonely can only grope for their own rules of survival in the world they have created. The habit of keeping a diary and the emotional interaction with animals should be a kind of psychology eager to be understood. Finally, the appearance of a man represents an interaction and a conflict between the external society and the inner world. When the heroine picks up Lukas, her desire to be understood finally passes away. She stops recording in the diary and cuts off the only thing she can do. The way the outside world opens up, sometimes low and sometimes tactfully, confided in the ordinary violin sound and walked into the inner door that could never be opened.
