It is the heart of the benevolent

Edgar Allan Poe's original work has been seen before, and I thought it was an expansion of the process, and then came to a "Frightening Island"-style ending: it turns out that these brick houses sitting at risk are the real mental patients.
This is just like the allusion that "it's not the wind, the flag is not moving, the benevolent is moving". In the eyes of "normal people", mental patients are abnormal, and in order to help them return to normal, they do not hesitate to use extreme means to increase their suffering; but in the eyes of mental patients, these people who try to change them are abnormal, so they To fight, to oppose oppression, to let the other party taste the pain they have experienced. Perhaps it is not a certain group of people that is abnormal, but the narrow-mindedness that refuses to tolerate each other and the colored vision that is accustomed to taking itself as a benchmark.
The film adaptation is quite wonderful, and the final reversal is a wonderful stroke. Under a stronger emotional call, there is no such thing as a terminally ill mental illness. Love and caring are the best medicines for mental illness.
