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.

    Nice idea, but terribly executed. There are indeed suspense and reversal, but it would be better if you can explain a little bit more...

    The final ending is a little bit sudden. Suspense and foreshadowing are not enough... It’s the end of the 19th century and Michael Caine’s, which is easily reminiscent of Nolan’s deadly magic. In contrast, it looks weaker, but there are also favorites. Ben Kinsley and Brendan Gleeson of soy sauce, 3.5 stars..

  • The Alienist: Believe nothing that you hear. And only one-half of what you see.

  • Silas Lamb: Of all the afflictions I think of none more cruel than madness. It robs a man of his reason, his dignity, his very soul. And it does so, so slowly, without the remorse of death.
