A naive man doesn't understand 'it's a ridiculous world' until he's in his forties

This film, I didn't read the introduction when I downloaded it, I thought it was a warm film, but only after watching it did I know that it was a social ethics film.
Robin Williams has acted in many similar films, such as "Dead Poets Society", which is a subversive criticism of society. I like his films. After watching them, they are very refreshing.
The film tells the story of a naive old man living with a pure dream. One day he found out that the society was absurd, and the only son he had had died in humiliation under the lure of the deformity of the society. He decided to let go. He tricked everyone who was driven by profit, tricked the leaders, tricked the media, and tricked his girlfriend. He worked hard to write, only to keep rejecting manuscripts. He worked hard, but he could only be scolded. He worked hard to live, and his girlfriend was far away. But once he played in the world, all people approached him because they could benefit from him. I don't like that the director didn't switch the camera to the faces of the deceived people when he exposed everything at the end, but maybe the actor's acting skills were not in place enough to cut through. Anyway, I think those expressions must be unprecedented.
Returning to life, I feel that everything is cruel. Just like in the film, the absurdity of life is difficult to control. Looking at other people's wealth myths, my honest life has become a real stupidity. I don't have the guts to satirize life like in the film, I can only express all my pain in front of the computer, but tomorrow, it will be business as usual.

    How can you tell the truth in your conscience when things are going smoothly? The director didn't make this transition in place.
