Oliver, a child with autism, feels very lonely, and his only playmates often bully him. Mobile phones and tablets attract most of his attention. On the other end of the screen, a man named Larry also said that he felt lonely and wanted to make friends with Oliver. However, Oliver gradually discovered that Larry did not belong to this world, but his autism made it difficult to believe that Larry existed.
After Oliver's parents and children experienced the horror of Larry's appearance together, they finally believed that Oliver's words were true. But it was a little late, and Larry finally showed up in full and tried to take Oliver away. Oliver's mother was taken away by Larry in order to protect him. After all this, Oliver also began to learn to actively contact the outside world, and slowly gained friendship.
Although it is a horror thriller, it is more like an allegory for the unprecedented loneliness brought to people by portable electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets, and the resulting fear.
In fact, as early as when the mobile network has not yet been widely popularized, most people still rely on desktop laptops to surf the Internet, some people worry that people hide their true emotions behind the computer screen, which will make people realistically willing to communicate with each other. And the frequency is getting lower and lower, everyone is getting more and more unfamiliar, and even excessive loneliness will induce some psychological and spiritual diseases. Fortunately, at that time, due to the portability of computers, it was easy for people to return to the real world once they left the computer.
However, the advancement of science and technology has accelerated and promoted profound changes in society. The world will soon enter the era of mobile networks with mobile phones as the carrier. Smart phones and high-speed mobile networks allow people to immerse themselves in the virtual world anytime, anywhere. For people who are against the real environment, devices such as mobile phones and tablets can become the whole of life. Interaction with mobile electronic devices takes up too much time and energy, leaving no time for human interaction in the real world. Over time, everyone may become "autistic".
The loneliness of this social disappearance, like an indescribable demon, produces a strange feeling of fear and yearning until it spreads to everyone.
Larry in the film is more like an autistic patient who has been deeply involved in the Internet. He wants to take Oliver away to make up for the deep loneliness in his heart. And the last part of the comic that Oliver saw also stated that after being taken away by Larry, he would turn into a look similar to Larry, just like when his mother was shaken by Larry.
The ending is a little gratifying that Oliver has begun to work hard to get out of "autism" and stop typing on his mobile phone to speak. The implication is to put down those handheld devices, leave the mobile network, and try to return to normal natural social interaction. , so as not to be taken away and assimilated by "Larry Larry".
Before being taken away or turned into it by the lonely Larry, put down your phone and tablet properly, and say hello and chat with your relatives, friends and neighbors in reality.
