Dostoevsky wrote in "The Writer's Diary": One cannot confirm one's sanity by confinement of one's neighbor.
When things appear in life that you can't imagine, people use narrow experience, limited scientific basis to judge what you see. A boy with superpowers who was electrocuted when his mother was pregnant, spent his long upbringing in a basement with no sunlight, no parents, no friends, no older grandparents to fall in love with exchange. Just because he looks different from everyone else, similar to a type of albinism, with white skin and no hair. But when your grandfather dies and the police and outsiders find him, you must think that you will be scared by the way he looks exposed to the sun, then you will be disappointed, his body is weak and emaciated, he leans forward slightly, his smile is clear, his eyes are bright . And read a lot of books, IQ is extraordinary. Naturally, you can imagine what such a person who does not care about the world will wait for him when he comes to the real society. Loneliness, being ridiculed, fooled, and even framed, the social attributes of human beings are vividly staged here. Everyone is wrapped in such a coat, hypocritical, sinister and selfish, and this is just the beginning. Such a highly developed "human being" lives in a chaotic world, and being able to see through others does not help others to understand him.
Perhaps returning to his own world is the best relief for him. It is sad that the world we have worked so hard to build cannot accommodate a child who simply wants to be accepted?
Does a movie with such a theme have to resort to the means of science fiction to be able to criticize the most essential of human nature?
Movies with the same theme are reminiscent of "Edward Scissorhands", "The Elephant Man", "Everyone For Their Own God Against Everyone", and "The Girl Who Moves Souls" are full of a lot of loneliness and self-seeking and identification.
Similar to Susannah, who was accused of being mentally ill in "The Girl Who Moved Souls," the "Lightning Boy" here also has superhuman intelligence, so much so that people think he's an outlier.
"Death is hazy like a dream when you refuse to feel it. But when you see death and come face-to-face with death, dreaming of death becomes stupid, maybe growing up is getting rid of the past... We look for secrets because we don't believe My own mind. Thoughts are uncontrollable, in real life, I only know that I am beginning to regain my feelings, crazy, rational, smart, stupid, I only know that there is only one way to return to the world, and that is to speak my heart here. "
After being humiliated by the boys, when he was about to be sent to another unknown life, the sky was full of dark clouds and lightning flashed, and he suddenly understood where his true destination was, so brave Zhang Zhang. Open your arms, face the lightning under the clouds in the sky, and run head-on.
