Pain is for awakening and redemption

The narrative method of the film is non-mainstream, and it has a strong impact on the heart and resonates with the soul. It interprets a series of life experiences of a substitute teacher Henry. The pressure makes him exhausted, and he feels chaotic and helpless. His death completely emptied his heart. He is a paradoxical individual seeking redemption in a reality where his own conscience and beliefs have been destroyed.
Classic lines----
that bag, it doesn't feel anything. It is empty. I don't have any kind of feeling for you to damage either. do you know? I can understand your anger. I used to be very angry because of some things, you know. You have absolutely no reason to be mad at me, because... I'm one of the very few people who would give you a chance like this.
Shut up. you listen to me. I know you're an uneducated alcoholic hanging out with these dying old men to pass the time. But I paid you to take care of his daily life, and you weren't taking care of him at all! I told you to go and remove the lock on the bathroom! You know he often wakes up in the middle of the night and is very forgetful, so you have to stay with him to make him feel a little more secure. I will make it clear to you now that you should stop ignoring his needs, or I will ignore you as well. I will fire you! You also have your own family, your own children, how can you do this to him! you understand? !
A good film should not only give us a visual impact but also a soul impact. It should also be a reflection of human nature, although this kind of thinking is accompanied by pain and regret. Tell us to respect everyone's personality, everyone is eager to be recognized, and don't trample on each individual's personality and feelings at will. The whole film has a depressing and heavy tone, calling for spiritual health and humanistic care for everyone's personal dignity and behavior. The existence of the individual person must be respected.

Detachment quotes

  • Henry Barthes: How are you to imagine anything if the images are always provided for you?

    Henry Barthes: Doublethink. To deliberately believe in lies, while knowing they're false.

    Henry Barthes: Examples of this in everyday life: "Oh, I need to be pretty to be happy. I need surgery to be pretty. I need to be thin, famous, fashionable." Our young men today are being told that women are whores, bitches, things to be screwed, beaten, shit on, and shamed. This is a marketing holocaust. Twenty-four hours a day for the rest of our lives, the powers that be are hard at work dumbing us to death.

    Henry Barthes: So to defend ourselves, and fight against assimilating this dullness into our thought processes, we must learn to read. To stimulate our own imagination, to cultivate our own consciousness, our own belief systems. We all need skills to defend, to preserve our own minds.

  • Henry Barthes: [agitated at assisted living nurse] Let me be very clear here, you stop neglecting his needs, or I will start fucking with yours! I will have you fired! Then it's going to be your family! Your children are gonna be at risk! You got it?
