Should we sympathize with talents or people

Since the plot is very loose, there is a lot of room for thinking while watching this film.
At first I thought that the director and screenwriter wanted to tell a story similar to that of a genius like Forrest Gump or Rain Man, but after watching it for a while, I thought it was a story about caring for the disadvantaged.
But looking at it, I found that although there are many disadvantaged groups in the film, the focus is always on one person. Although this person is weak, he is a genius, and he is the kind of genius who is enough to attract the attention of others.
Perhaps the director wanted to use him as a signboard to arouse people's concern for the vulnerable groups represented by him.
It's a pity that I feel that except for the talented geniuses, most of the other weak people are poor people who must have something to hate, or are not necessary at all.
Are the angels and gods of the City of Angels asking them, or letting them save themselves?

    A long shot into the newspaper about 5 and a half minutes. There is also a long shot of floor shifting in 23 minutes. A long shot of about 53 minutes and 40 seconds. In addition, there are more similar small-scale long shots. Various shots and clips make the director look quite academic.

    The film is really terrible, but Little Robert Sugar Mud once again proved that as long as the man standing in front of him, his eyes will definitely discharge this unbreakable truth~~
