Open yourself up and be your true and happy self

I originally wanted to watch a horror movie, but I found the source of the movie and found it in the evening, and I didn't dare to watch it after watching the beginning. So I found the movie I wanted to watch in the to see list, and I locked this "Eighth Day". In fact, I didn't sit down and watch it properly, but I went to work on other things after watching a part of it, and I didn't finish the whole film coherently.
Looking at the poster, it is easy to think of Rain Man. At first, I thought it would be an inspirational film, but later I found out, ah, it turned out to be a French film. No wonder the whole film is a bit detached, a bit slow, and full of countless fantasy shots. To my surprise, one of the male protagonists in the original film turned out to be a Mongolian patient.
This film tells the story of the hero who often neglects his family because of his work, which leads to the separation of his wife and children, and his life is extremely depressing. Later, he meets another hero who suffers from Mongolian disease and is redeemed. There is something at the end of the whole film that surprised me, maybe this is his best destination.
For ordinary people, living under pressure every day and being suppressed to the point of wearing a mask every day to be an unreal and hypocritical self, in fact, are we not character distorted and neurotic?
Watching the Mongolian patients in the film pick up the hero to celebrate his daughter's birthday, everyone's faces are genuinely happy. At least in my forest, there are few people who can be so genuinely happy from the heart.
