The deceptively titled film transports audiences awaiting a gunfight or aerial combat into the world of a bunch of psychopaths. Delusional disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, I don’t know which cells live in which ditch and which area creates the brain’s reaction, causing mood changes and hallucinations, and more importantly, losing trust and care for the people around you, so you can only fall into The growing loneliness was engulfed by the voice of his own delusions.
Even though it was adapted from a memoir, it still felt too absurd. After the protagonist's parents divorced, his father refused to contact him, and the mother who always thought she was a famous poet even let her attending physician adopt him. There is no doubt that everyone in the new family, including the psychiatrist, except the psychiatrist's wife, is a total lunatic, although the doctor's wife occasionally eats dog food as a snack.
It is such a family with a Christmas tree that was unsanitary and unsanitary two years ago and used as candy, such as Valium tablets, forcing the protagonist to start writing a diary, start smoking, and start to have homosexual tendencies.
From the age of 13 to 15, I thought my mother's condition would get better, but I didn't want to but it got worse. Everything is just worse. A mother would only verbally say to her son that I care about you and then let her son make tea for himself. The words I love you so much deeply hurt people's hearts with hypocritical power. The last line of sustenance and hopes for family love were destroyed, and finally the protagonist decided to leave and start a new life in New York.
What I have to say is that the selection of the soundtrack of the film is really not excellent. Every time the song sounds, it not only makes people feel that it is too suitable for the scene, but also exerts a super function of enhancing the emotion of the picture. Maybe it is sad or depressing simply. The scene, in the soundtrack, suddenly gave birth to the message that there is always hope ahead.
It's okay to be alone or not to be understood. If you pay attention to the etiology of several young patients in the film, you will find that they are caused by parents' neglect of duty and lack of family care. Perhaps this is one of the main themes that the author wants to express in his memoirs.
I remembered at the end of the film that the doctor's wife took out the money from her private house, and said that she almost gave the money to the Internal Revenue Service that confiscated the doctor's house before she came, but she kept it and gave it to the protagonist, saying that you should always make the right investment in your life. . The investment in the unknown new life of a 15-year-old boy has won the restoration of a big house where a family of five lives. He is indeed the only normal person.
Forget the revelation that God gave through shit, and the world will naturally return to order.
