Watching these kinds of movies is really tiring. There is no doubt that the human mind is as naked as a newborn baby. There is no clear-cut pros and cons in the film. Everyone is a kind child exploring life. Seeing happy moments can also be heartbreakingly painful. The usual symptom is that after watching it for a few days or even longer, you are immersed in the plot and can't stop thinking about it.
Charlie.
Wearing earphones all day and walking through the city streets with Scooter. Constantly redecorating the kitchen. Collect vinyl records. Paranoid into the house Shoes off. Defeating the monsters in the video game again and again in the dim living room... People thought he was escaping from reality and escaping life, but Charlie didn't forget anything, on the contrary, he could see his wife, 3 daughters and the poodle at home anytime, anywhere . "At least you guys have each other. I am the one who's remember them all the time." Father-in-law and mother-in-law always accused him of being ruthless. Self-righteous is pulling Charlie out of his mental model in his own way. Those who can blame others and who can cry and mourn are not the most hurt. Those who are really hurt are like lonely lions who can only hide in their own caves and cannot find an exit.
Don't use your own experience to measure his heart, and persuade him to be optimistic about life, because you are not in his position and can't experience his pain;
don't teach him how to live with concern and understanding; It could be fatal to him.
He needs to go at his own pace. in your own way. Get out of that cave.
Allen.
Once a big guy in college. Run your own dental practice. Have objective income. Patient suitors are often encountered. Being sent to and fro by partners. Live in a repressed and well-behaved family. No communication with wife. Take my daughter to and from school regularly. Maybe others seem to be a man with a happy life, but who can understand that in his heart, he has been suppressed by life and is about to go crazy. It's just that his crazy performance tends to be more rational and calmer than Charlie's.
Then. The two best friends from college meet again. On the face of it, Allen was helping Charlie out of the dark days. Open closed hearts. Live anew. In fact, he is also helping himself.
Charlie and Allen set foot on Scooter and shuttle through the city streets. Search the record store for records from the early years. Take turns playing video games in the living room. Allen makes Charlie come home and have breakfast with the family...and
they can't laugh while watching an all-night soap comedy at the cinema. I found them two lonely people crossing each other's lives in the darkness of the movie theater. So warm.
