Heaven is jealous of talents----Brother Sharp may also have something special
Janice 2022-11-23 12:30:38
I have read a novel of the same name before, but after watching the movie, I found that the movie is not based on this novel. After watching it, I couldn't help but think of a movie work "A Beautiful Mind" and the most popular Internet star of the moment - Brother Sharp. The protagonists in two of these works are a brilliant cellist and a gifted mathematician. Behind the talent and talent, they have the same flaw as Sharp Brother - mental illness. We can boldly imagine that Brother Sharp might have some special talents, such as aesthetics. We also hope that with the attention of the family and society, Brother Sharp's life can return to normal.

Steve Lopez: "Points West" by Steve Lopez. A year ago, I met a man who was down on his luck and thought I might be able to help him. I don't know that I have. Yes, my friend Mr. Ayers now sleeps inside. He has a key. He has a bed. But his mental state and his well-being, are as precarious now as they were the day we met. There are people who tell me I've helped him. Mental health experts who say that the simple act of being someone's friend can change his brain chemistry, improve his functioning in the world. I can't speak for Mr. Ayers in that regard. Maybe our friendship has helped him. But maybe not. I can, however, speak for myself. I can tell you that by witnessing Mr. Ayers's courage, his humility, his faith in the power of his art, I've learned the dignity of being loyal to something you believe in, of holding onto it. Above all else, of believing, without question, that it will carry you home.
