it's wonderful

Seeing that the comments are mostly negative, I wrote something for the first time:

The more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes... I can't sleep the whole time... The heroine can't doi with Tommy as she is, but after he put on the human skin, the two of them were very happy, and there was a sense of tragedy in it... The love-hate relationship between the two is reflected by guns, empty bullets and sex. After this seemingly very happy and sad doi is over, it is a metaphor that the ring can't be worn...

Naive and hungry for adventure and fun, Marylou naively thought that as long as Tommy was exposed, she would be able to leave the cell, and after she discovered Tommy's limitations (or not as powerful and special as she imagined), and let him Her life is also special) suddenly chooses to leave him... The heroine's character is really interesting, she accompanied Tommy for one night at the beginning, and when she left, the director explained her pursuit of adventure, and when she heard that Tommy was a traveler, brightened up. So she advised the male protagonist to enjoy everything on earth and told him not to go back, and then suddenly gave up on the male protagonist when he couldn't fight... Human nature is too realistic...

Tommy, a fragile alien full of contradictions, wants to go back to save his wife and children, but he can't help nostalgic for the earth, and he is imprisoned like all ordinary humans who can only look at the sky...

The short comments all say that I like the pistol part. My favorite is this quiet, beautiful, desperate, unsuccessful doi: The part where he lay motionless on the bed after taking off the human skin moved me so much... How much courage did he take to cut it off Open yourself, as if waiting for Mary's trial... Mary also bravely tried to touch him, but in the end she couldn't do it...

There is also a discussion about tv and radio, tv has made it very clear, tv doesn't tell people anything but just beckons to the universe. As for radio, Tommy couldn't go back in the end, he released the album and said that he hoped his wife (can listen to it in aliens) could hear his songs through radio... Scientists said yes, people can now listen to radio everywhere... radio seems to connect people But actually people can't get in touch

There is also the male protagonist's sarcasm at the end of the scientist. He said that you are a scientist, so if you go to our planet and are treated like this, there will be a way... Wow, this sarcasm is polite and sharp, and it can correspond to many realities. Someone who is on the moral high ground and blames others...and I doubt he knows that the scientist is with Marie....wonderful, wonderful
