Don't indulge in your loneliness

Maybe a two-hour drive from one corner of an unfamiliar city to another just to watch a movie on a blustery winter night isn't a wise decision. Maybe it's even less of a wise decision to suddenly go to watch such a movie in a somewhat marginalized non-profit organization. (I'll admit I didn't realize enough of the wonders of this city in advance.) But anyway the movie was worth it.
I searched my memory, and in the end I couldn't be sure if I had seen this movie before or if I didn't?
When I watch the film, I have a very familiar feeling. This feeling may come from such a classic film. I have been spoiled for a long time. It may come from the familiar style of Luc Besson's "This Killer Is Not Too Cold". A familiar story in my heart.
Familiar stories, people who do not belong to this world, the story of the mermaid, Edward Scissorhands, Van Gogh, Haizi, or ourselves. Freedom and loneliness are just two sides of the same coin. The end you did it alone.

The occasional French humor at the beginning of the story is complemented by the beautiful scenery from the Peruvian glaciers to the warm sun of Hoh Xil. Pure eyes, throbbing love and ding ding dong dong soundtrack make the tone of the first half of the film as sunny and beautiful as the sky and the sea.
However, in this sunny and beautiful, there is a faint tone of sadness and unease.
People like Jack were originally out of this world, and Anzo couldn't win against his enemies and friends, so he was doomed to have a tragic ending.
What hurts my heart is Joanna, Jack really shouldn't let this woman down. She is pure and persistent and can understand Jack to a certain extent. How can people have a 100% heart-to-heart connection? This woman, who can help him steal dolphins, made him cry when he said that dolphins are his family, and finally pulled down the rope of fate and sent him back to the bottom of the sea, which shows that she may be the world The person who understands him the most except Anzuo. Moreover, he also fell in love with her, but not as deeply as he loved the sea.
Don't be blinded by the hero's aura, don't say anything about return and liberation. No matter how beautiful it looks, this is a tragedy, a man hurts himself and a woman who loves him deeply, because he only understands and indulges in his own loneliness.
