All the bright places look behind the scenes

First of all, what I want to say is that the ending of this movie is quite unexpected. The male protagonist saves the female protagonist but fails to save himself... If you follow the normal plot routine, the male and female protagonists save each other should be the ending of the story, but It would be a bit of a cliché to say so. Life is not perfect.

The overall rhythm of the movie is relatively slow, and the love scenes of the hero and heroine in the middle are still relatively warm and harmonious. The hero uses his patience and care to help the heroine get out of the dark, and also captures her heart by the way. I thought the movie was almost over by now, but the male protagonist couldn't escape the inner demons for many years... The female protagonist failed to help the male protagonist because the male protagonist refused the female protagonist's help and chose to bear it alone, but couldn't bear it...

Maybe this is also what the director wants to tell us. Sometimes it is better not to be stubborn. You can open your heart to others appropriately. Don't be conceited that it is useless, maybe it will be useful~

This movie is for people with mental disabilities, but it's for all of us. Many of us have a mental disorder, we just don't realize it.

What I want to say is that in the face of our own psychological problems, we must tolerate and accept ourselves, instead of disgusting and questioning ourselves. We are all ordinary people, and there will always be imperfections. Don't ask too much of ourselves.
