To discover beauty or to escape suffering?

I don't know what the state of a mentally ill person is like, but it doesn't feel like it should be portrayed in the movie. The film made me feel like it was always trying to rationalize the inner world of the mentally ill, while avoiding some of the nasty parts of their physiology that might be there. The treatment of mentally ill patients is by no means only the treatment at the spiritual level. On the contrary, the treatment at the physical level is sometimes more important. And through this film, what we see, or what the director wants to instill in us, seems to be the process of empathy, trust, talk, and communication in the treatment of mentally ill patients. Amplifying sensibility and avoiding rationality can often gain audiences. But I think the film is a little more joking, and as a psychological film, it should be more rigorous and scientific. But as a film, this scale is difficult to grasp. After all, the movie is made for ordinary people to watch, and it is difficult to imagine the inner world of mentally ill people with ordinary people's thinking. Moreover, the film also depicts a group of mentally ill patients, so the realism will inevitably lose its beauty, and the emphasis on beauty is often distorted.

However, the eyes that find beauty are often able to capture the beautiful bits and pieces of life even in bad circumstances. When I was 14 years old, I came into contact with an elderly couple. The grandfather was a patient with Alzheimer's disease. It took a long time and the severity was relatively severe. Such patients would bring heavy pressure on the family in daily life, but grandma They can't help but laugh when they tell their daily embarrassment.

The same thing is told by different people, and the listeners often have completely different feelings.

I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK quotes

  • Park Il-sun: I did all kinds of things in jail. Because I felt I was vanishing. I stole other people's clothes to wear. And I brushed my teeth diligently. Once your teeth start to go, there's no turning back.

    The mythomaniac: That's true.

    Park Il-sun: I had a psych evaluation and they said I'm schizophrenic and anti-social.

    The mythomaniac: Anti-social?

    Park Il-sun: Like stealing and fighting for no reason. And not having any sense of guilt or sympathy. But I don't know why they call me anti-social. I have my reasons for stealing. I'm afraid I'll vanish. I'm anti-vanishing.
