What impressed me the most was what the dean said to the doctor in the office. I don't believe that people can really fully understand each other. Perhaps for mainstream reasons, David Lynch gave "The Elephant Man" a warmer happy ending, but all I felt in the theater segment was deep despair. The so-called "humanism" and "humanistic care" seem to have been a beautiful lie from the very beginning, and the words "compassion" and "care" themselves seem to carry some kind of "discrimination". In the evening, the doctor told his wife at home that he felt that he and Byte were more and more alike, which seemed to indicate that the doctor himself finally realized the closed loop of "goodwill". No one can really understand each other, at least people from different classes cannot. Classes do exist. There is no essential difference between despairing evil and despairing good. The goodwill of a few people is only based on their own identity and height. This despair reached its climax in the theater. Everyone expresses their "goodwill" from the heart, but "goodwill" itself carries a certain "bad" factor. It should be said that we are lucky to meet a so-called "outlier" like John, who can gently accept the "care" and "kindness" of all of us, and he is willing to live in a traditional value system to be a expected person. It may also be due to the factors of mainstream films, or it may be some kind of good wishes of David Lynch, John's ego seems to meet our expectations, whether he likes the Bible or the theater, these factors are reassuring It's exactly what John likes. David Lynch still left us with hope. This hope is not that John finally returned to the hospital, went to the theater and built the church, but that he shouted "I am not an animal, i am a" when he was chased by the crowd at the train station. human being, i am a man”
