Forgot to look at the time, it should be late at night. I covered my eyes while watching, for fear of seeing something terrifying. When John came out in the back, I was terrified, he looked weird. That huge right hand had a huge tumor on its head. Later, I no longer paid attention to these, but it became a pity for him. He was too pitiful, and he couldn't live his life beautifully when he grew up like this.
It tells that there was once a beautiful mother, but the proud words elicited the sadness of those who were lonely and looked upon differently. Tears flowed naturally and could not be stopped. In the blocked bathroom, he roared, "I'm alone."
what the director wanted to reflect. Is it the destruction of human beings in that era of industrial development? All I can see is John's transformation from being used as a harlequin to a child who temporarily embraces happiness for a moment. No matter what people treat him, he still retains his original innocence. Maybe it's because his heart is dirty, and he becomes a little emotional when he sees such innocence.
On that clean bed, John lay down to sleep for the first time, hoping that he slept soundly, had a beautiful and pure white dream, a mother he missed in his dream, and a friend who really regarded him as a friend.
John, good night.
