This film is similar to Shutter Island, and it is a classic. The reversal at the back gave us a surprising surprise, and it also sublimated the director's theme just right. Purely from the point of view that the film wants to express, it can be said to reflect the world of the madman, the perspective of the madman to see the world, and the madman in the eyes of the madman.
The world of the lunatic is in opposition to the world of the normal people. The lunatic thinks their world is normal and needs to use their worldview to maintain this balance, while the "normal" uses a different method (conventional therapy, referring to the abusive medical treatment used by mad asylum doctors). way to cure the lunatic) to maintain this order. The lunatic in the film seems to use "normal" methods to maintain the order of the madhouse, and through the film's memory, we can see that the methods used by "normal" people to treat the lunatic seem to be ineffective, which seems to bring us troubles , in the end who is crazy? Or satirize our normal society.
A madman in a madman's eyes. All the male protagonist sees is crazy. From the moment he entered the insane asylum, it seemed that everyone had a disease. But who is willing to really face their own symptoms?
This also seems to be the status quo of our society today, and each of us is not a lunatic. We know that working overtime now is not good for health, and we know that it is difficult to buy a good health after making money now. We know we have breakfast in the morning, and we often skip it. We know that playing mahjong all night is not good, we often play mahjong all night. We know that smoking and drinking are not good, and we can't always quit smoking and drinking. We know that if we don't work hard now, life will be difficult in the future, and it is indeed difficult to start to change this problem. We know we need a helping hand in the face of injustice, but our minds always remind us that more is worse than less. We know that giving up is good for everyone, and we do cling to the old relationship. We know we have to wait for red lights, we know we can't overtake, we know we can't drive with high beams at night, we know blah blah blah... that's us, real-life lunatics. Some people say it's a love movie, and that's not unreasonable. Who is who is the medicine, who is the other. It's just that they found their medicine, but what about us?
Change it at the right time, find out your illness, and work hard to find the recipe. If you are lucky enough to find it, you will be lucky if you can get it, just like the male protagonist, it is a blessing from cultivation. On the other hand, if you can't, you adapt and obey, just like the world in the eyes of a madman, and it has never been a kind of beauty.
After all, no one is perfect, and no gold is perfect.
