Whether or not Pete exists is not the point at all, of course Donna's behavior really makes it feel like everything is fictional, and even if Pete does exist, that doesn't mean what she says is completely trustworthy. Don't say that a single blind person with little income is eligible for adoption, but the gap between what Pete said about her and what we see in reality can easily make people feel that everything is a lie.
Anna said that Donna's desire to attract others' attention through fictional characters is a manifestation of morbidity, and it is his strong psychological desire for others' attention. She succeeded. From the coffee shop owner, the small town policeman, to the host of the famous midnight show, she developed feelings for her and his son, but she also failed. She created a vehicle to attract others' sympathy. Most people cast sympathetic glances on this carrier, and she is still lonely, even falling into greater loneliness because she has to lie again and again. When Gabriel no longer trusts her, she can even think of dying with her, he is afraid of returning to loneliness, even if he dies with others, he doesn't want to live alone.
At the end of the film, the equally lonely Gabriel waves goodbye to Jess, who has found a new boyfriend, and he faces life, and life will start all over again. As for Donna, is he going to face up to this loneliness, or continue to the future with Pete in his heart.
The film is bland and tasteless, and the plot is not very tense. There is no need to question Robin Williams' acting skills, but the role is too subtle and difficult to express.
