The male lead played by Robin Williams is a poor middle school teacher who has written n book manuscripts, none of which are favored by the publishing house. He has a son who is in middle school, contrary to his literary father, Not interested in music, movies, literature, sports, etc., nor popular in school. Once the child killed himself by hanging himself at home, the male protagonist of course cried half-dead when he came back. After crying, he had to be a taboo for his relatives, so he forged a suicide note and made the child out of despair for the world. So the illusion of suicide.
Almost no one came to attend his son's funeral. The hero returned to school. Colleagues and students avoided him consciously or unintentionally. There were only three or two students left in his poetry class. embrace. Only his old, fat female neighbor, and his son's only friend, a thin, gloomy boy, comforted him by his side.
At this moment, the twists and turns, the media published his posthumous suicide note that was both literary and in-depth, and the deceased child suddenly became a teen idol (not because the writing was good, but because the suicide was worth hyping), and the students all He came to his poetry class, and he became the most popular teacher. His lover and colleague, who used to be on two boats, also made public his relationship with him. After he published a book in the name of his son's diary, he was invited to participate in the talk. Xiu, the principal of his school is also going to name the library after his son. At the naming ceremony, he spoke the truth to the students who adored his son and the teachers who were looking forward to it. The angry lover slapped him and the student raised his middle finger, but he just ran to the school swimming pool, stripped off all his clothes, and jumped from the platform into the pool. (What a candid symbol)
He walked home, throwing off his armor and armor, and his son's friend came over and said to him, I know you wrote it, you wrote it well, don't give up. The last shot shows the old fat girl neighbor, the son's lonely friend and the three of them sitting on the sofa watching their favorite zombie movie.
This is what I identify with. As I said earlier when discussing the choice of the traitor Cypher in The Matrix, truth is the foundation of happiness, and the real desert is better than the illusory perfection. The truth is 1, the unreal is 0, no matter how little joy and beauty multiplied by 1, there is still joy and beauty, and no matter how much joy and beauty multiplied by 0, it equals 0.
I'd rather just have an old, ugly fat woman and a gloomy eccentric child who loves me for who I am, than countless people who are madly infatuated with who they think is me.
PS. There are many people who say that it is unreasonable for the male protagonist to tell the truth, and the story is forced to be like this in order to cater to the moral dogma. Yeah, for those who take the pursuit of fame and fortune as the most important thing in life, and think it's the universal truth, and for those who never feel it matters to be who you are , the actor's behavior is indeed "unreasonable".
But don't forget, the male protagonist has always been a "loser", and he is willing to be a "loser". Everything that "lucky befalls" on him is of course what many people want, but not necessarily what he wants. Many people feel that he gave up too much to be his true self, which is a pity, but if those are not what he really wants, what a pity to give up? People feel that it is a pity to give up the real life for those vain and petty profits to give up being the real self. What's wrong.
