bland carnage

I remember watching this movie when I was in the high-pressure state of my senior year of high school. I didn't like the beginning of the movie because it was kind of scary at the time. Slowly looking down, this pale child, who was born with abilities different from ordinary people, and who stayed in the basement for a long time, made me feel a kind of person: this kind of person may not have the ability to electrify, they are shy and reserved , Good-hearted, not good at dealing with people. The apparent flaws or extraordinaryness separate them from ordinary people, but the burning desire to be with others and live a happy and ordinary life burns in their chests. It is not difficult to understand the burning desire of this kind of desire. At the end of the film, why does the lightning man, whose heart is as pure as an angel, run in the wilderness, and is finally taken away by lightning forever. When I saw this, I burst into tears: this is his own choice, and it is also the silent and indifferent killing of ordinary people. Indifference, to be distinguished by ordinary people's standards, is a cliché. People talk about gold, and the rejection of most people has become the standard and the final qualitative indicator. The demise of the Lightning Man is the demise of kindness, a simple death without human incidents. Ask us ordinary people from the bottom of your heart, don't be an ordinary but ruthless and decent gangster! !
