This is a movie about loneliness

I love this movie.
I think it's a movie about loneliness.
I've only seen this movie twice, and I can't remember many specific plots, but I remember the loneliness and despair in the movie.
A person can only come to this world and leave alone. We can't choose when we come, and we can't go together when we go. No one can understand another. We are desperately looking for family, love, and friendship in this world, but no one can accompany us forever. We tried to talk and talk, but our mouths were dry and we were still chattering. Nell and her twin sister were a world of their own, but that was in Nell's own imagination. The male protagonist in the movie is just an expectation of people, he can't really enter Nell's heart, people just can't accept such a reality, no one can really understand another person, but we still say it over and over again: You know what? ? Do you understand? Really helpless.
It's like the housewife in The Hours who tried to commit suicide and went home crying in the bathroom, but the husband didn't know anything about that scene in the bedroom. It was real and desperate.
I am not strong enough to accept this reality, but how long can I be discouraged.

All fantasies, forever and ever disappointment.

Nell quotes

  • Jerry: Let's take this one step at a time. Stay here. I'm gonna go back inside.

    Sheriff Todd Peterson: Jerry, I can't let you go back in there. We don't even know what that thing is.

    Jerry: It's a human being and she's frightened.

    Sheriff Todd Peterson: Well, what are you gonna do?

    Jerry: Talk to her... if I can.

  • [Jerry found the Bible with the note from Nell's mom for the stranger to look for her Nell]

    Jerry: What kind of deal is this? The first who finds her is supposed to look after her?

    Sheriff Todd Peterson: [matter of factly] That means you, Jerry.

    Sheriff Todd Peterson: Oh sure. Just what I need.

    Sheriff Todd Peterson: [bemused reading from the note] 'The Lord led you here.' There you have it.

    Jerry: *You* led me here.

    Sheriff Todd Peterson: You want the Lord to take care of her now?

    Jerry: The last time I saw the Lord was in church of my wedding and look how *that* turned out.
