The quality of a film is not based on the superficial things that everyone can see, and it is not the commonality that everyone feels in the film. I think it should be the part that everyone realizes after watching it that only belongs to themselves. belong to anyone else.
It's the phrase "I have my beliefs, but I also let others live"
or "I don't agree with every word you say, but I will defend your right to speak to the death."
This film made me feel the hopelessness of human communication.
There has been so much communication desperation in this history that people will never really understand each other. So this is the cause of human tragedy for thousands of years. These constitute all the tragic landscapes in human history.
A while ago, I saw a post on Tianya called "The World of the Psycho".

I believe this is a real patient oral experience. Because these are not so mysterious things, they are entirely possible.
The only thing that shocked me was how different everyone saw the world.
Saying they are mentally ill, I probably understand the boundaries of this definition, and their thinking may not be suitable for survival in the current world and human society.
In fact, who can completely eliminate the strange thinking part of the mind? It's just that the so-called "normal people" hide their thoughts, because the inhabitants of this world are really not ready to accept so many strange ideas.
At the end of the film, JOHN said sorry, those are just a story. He saw the professors and friends in front of him, and the worldview was on the verge of disintegrating in his words. So he understands that the first attempt he made after so many years is to determine the consequences of being aggressive with other people's established thinking, and understand that everyone needs to have their own world. People are curious about the unknown, but they don’t want to break their beliefs about the world; people pursue history in order to find a sense of existence. If history brings them no longer a sense of stability, if people’s worldview is subverted, then people can have reasons and rights. Make a choice - don't believe it.
I think this film and Tianya's post gave me some excellent perspectives that I have had the privilege of seeing the universe through these looking glasses.
