What is happiness without sadness?

I watched Garden State in New Jersey, and after watching it, I thought it was a really good movie.
The film begins with all kinds of weirdos, including people who think they are knights in iron armor, and people who shoot flaming arrows into the sky in their backyards. Of course, these weirdos also include the heroine who loves to lie. and emotionally numb male protagonist. The tone of the whole environment is also somber, shrouded in a rainless sky, surrounded by exquisite small houses in New Jersey. And the black humor in the characters' mouths made me emotionally stuck in the middle. For example, the hero Andrew said with a painless face when he told about his mother's disability: "Sometimes accidents are like this, which makes people think I still feel surprised when I
wake up.” Fortunately, Andrew began to have feelings after he stopped taking the drugs to suppress depression. He was grateful and wished people good luck. When he blew his nose, he shed the first tear in years, so he said, "Dad, I can feel the world, this is life, you let me take those medicines that you thought I would be happy, and make me change. You are numb, and I am here to forgive you."
There is no happiness without sorrow.
Of course, I was also moved by the love between the hero and heroine of the film. I liked the heroine's chattering and familiar conversation with the hero. I also liked that the hero was excited to protect the heroine and blurted out, "She's so innocent, that's why I I like her, but we let her come to this kind of place." I like the heroine to tease him after the hero's tears for the first time, and at the same time hug him with understanding.
So before the end of the film, when the hero insisted on leaving regardless of the heroine crying, I was roaring in my heart: You big liar who deceived the little girl, say you changed my life, say this is not a breakup, say I have to go Finish my plan, say anything I'll call you. When I finished ranting, I found that the male protagonist rushed off the plane and pulled out the tearful female protagonist from the phone booth... The
most important thing is actually with you
Ps: The video sees three surprises. 1. The knight was played by Sheldon, and his nasal tone was still very heavy at that time. 2. The male lead was also the director and screenwriter. 3. The female lead was played by Natalie Portman. I only knew from the cast list. Recalling that Agatha said through the mouth of the great detective Polo: A good actor will weaken her own appearance.
PPs: I caught a cold after watching the movie
