To observe the world is to observe yourself

I watched it a few days ago, and it is still in my favorites, and I am going to take it out for review another day.
From the beginning, I felt that the old doctor's soothing recitation was gentle, and this feeling continued. Even in the incest part of the father and daughter, it was not destroyed. Until the end, the whole film can feel a touch of warmth.
Homer has been looking for love, but in fact the most sincere in the whole film is the old doctor's love for Homer, selfless and gentle, just like a real father, maybe because of this, when Homer went to the world, he experienced different things. Only after living will you discover your true heart and understand what life really suits you.
Observing the world sometimes makes us look at ourselves from more angles, so Homer finds himself at the end and returns to his roots.

One of the most impressive images is when Homer leaves, the car drives out between two trees, as if stepping through a door to the outside world. The orange sunset is very beautiful.
