Everyone hears what they want to hear, but some people are sicker.

I have always believed in Ryan's ability to play many kinds of roles. This kind of silly and bloodthirsty drama is full of freshness; although the whole film is full of comedy elements, it completely makes the audience laugh. If this is what the director wants Then I have to say she was quite successful.
Regarding the ending, I don't think Jesus took Jerry to heaven, for Jerry there is heaven wherever he wants, and this is just another way for him to carry through his self-delusional "happiness" to the end. In the face of all the things that happened to Jerry and the fantastic happiness he showed, the audience off the screen couldn't do anything, and they didn't even know how to express their emotions at this moment. They could only look stupidly at "Jesus" with a full face The smiling Jerry drifted away.
Although the ending of the film is not so classic, it succeeded in sublimating the feeling of the whole film to me more intensely, making the expression of crying and laughing that I have maintained throughout the film finally turned into a big " sad".
We live in this world, everyone is a Loser, we are losing every minute and every second, but that "loss" has different forms and different senses. Some people, like Jerry, emptied themselves early and took other people's lives.
The image of Jesus taking Jerry away in his mind lingered for a long time.
I don't know what else to say.
Maybe sometimes it's more compassionate not to break someone else's dream than to pull him back into action to help.
