First of all, I want to say that I was forced to watch this movie by a friend who said that if you don't finish writing an afterthought, you can just let your homework die on its own. So I think this movie should really have his voice in it, and he hopes that someone will understand.

Autistic people are lonely creatures who don't know how to communicate. Like Nathan's inner monologue at the beginning, "because I don't talk too much, people think I have nothing to say." In fact, his thoughts are like ocean waves. In the same way, they are impacting and shaping their inner world all the time. When I watched the movie, I thought of "The Solitude of Prime Numbers". The world of mathematicians is really persistent and simple.

In this movie, everyone is a little sick, Nathan self-harmed and tried to wake up a roommate with a grilled shrimp, a classmate who used music as a math, and a math teacher with broken wings, Zhang Mei and his mother who were burdened with family expectations. I read a sentence a long time ago, "Everyone is like an island". The autistic protagonist who lived like an island for a long time met Robinson Zhang Mei who was drifting with no head and no direction in Taiwan, and Zhang Mei took the initiative to bake bread on the island. Then he finally realized that he liked Zhang Mei more than ice cream and more than math. It's because everything has improved since Zhang Mei. Another special point is that Issac pretended to talk deeply about society in the Olympiad training camp, "sometimes you have to change yourself, so you can fit in", but Zhang Mei took him to watch turtles in the Taiwan night market the next second. .

So if you meet Zhang Mei, don't let her go. The male protagonist's eyes are so beautiful. From the beginning of panic, his eyes turned red to his eyes gradually opened up. He was sitting in the car holding his mother's hand and smiling, and it was very touching. All in all, this movie is not the story of an autistic genius boy who successfully won gold and fame. It is suitable to be watched slowly on a summer Saturday afternoon with the wind blowing and eating snacks.
