Regarding the mentally ill, it is true that there are many classic movies about the mentally ill. Human beings themselves, the world of thinking of individual people is closed and only exists in one person's mind, so only psychiatrists do everything possible to understand the inner world of patients to help treatment. It's not like in Da Liu's "Three-Body Problem", the thinking of all three-body people is transparent and can be perceived by others, so lies, deceit, etc. will not exist. It is precisely because of this reason that other people cannot perceive the inner world of others, which is the reason of human beings on earth, so guessing the inner world of mental patients is a good theme to use the director's own talents.
So I've been thinking about this. Or a pure mental patient, or a K star who really wants to take away an earthling. As a result, the plot is moving towards the middle of the two ideas, and I have to say, it is a bit unexpected.
But whether a mentally ill person really discovers a fact that normal people can't understand and is regarded as a mentally ill person, or whether a mentally ill person just has a problem with his wild thoughts and thinking, this is a question that many people ponder from their hearts and have no solution. There is no solution. The question is from what perspective what is normal and what is not normal.
Anyone with violent tendencies, pornography, rapists, etc., no matter how perverted his thoughts and behaviors, can only say that his behavior is indeed not suitable for normal people's lives. Therefore, it is judged that others are mentally ill, so the cup is to live in a mental hospital.
But thinking that is different from normal people is mental illness. Nor can it be completely certain, because there is also a moral element. Morality has been recognized and inherited by human beings for thousands of years. The apostate is a denial of this. Morality is the morality of most people, not all of humanity, and morality is developing. A thousand years ago, cousins would not be ashamed to marry, but now, I am afraid that very few people are happy to do so. This is also morality. Similarly, an individual who had a certain behavior a thousand years ago, in a social environment that could not recognize this morality at that time, may be considered mentally ill, but who knows what will happen a thousand years later, I am afraid that time is normal.
The evil god of fire cloud in "Kung Fu" went into a madness while practicing and was sent to a mental hospital. This is quite ironic.
Therefore, many people who are identified as mentally ill are a group of people who cannot be understood by the behavioral and ideological norms of the society at that time, so they deserve to die. If they were born a thousand years earlier, or a thousand years later, they may not be admitted to a mental hospital.
Just like the protagonist in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", who is clearly not mentally ill, not only was he identified, but he was also operated on and turned into a vegetative state.
Just like the protagonist of this film, he was admitted to a mental hospital because of the fact that normal people thought it was impossible. Many times, the truth is not in the hands of most people. In today's world, it is the opposite.
