Hank lives on a deserted island, and at first glance, he looks like a pure diaosi. So lonely, so suicidal. Then a corpse that kept farting appeared in front of him, and he decided not to die. Hank rode on his corpse jet and galloped across the sea. He wants to go back to civilization, to a place where there are people.
"You want to go back because you want someone to love you?"
"Yes."
"So you escaped the world because no one loves you?"
"..."
Eggni's corpse is called Manny, he is good at asking some straightforward (embarrassed) )The problem. He was resurrected, like a baby, ignorant and omniscient. what is love? What is sex? Why do I see a girl trying to kiss her? During the conversation, Manny let Hank sort out his life and re-understand himself.
His farts are propellers, his fingers can be ignited, his erection is a compass, his vomit can be a gun. He can also play house with Hank and restore the love story. Here in Manny, shit and pee are the advantages, and there is no need to block it. He helped Hank eventually return to human society.
But it's all fake.
Manny is Hank's split personality. They are not on a desert island at all. The woman Hank has a crush on even has children. Hank is still the trash, weirdo, psychopath, and crazier. Yes, no one loves him, only the corpse loves him.
People have to carry the bodies away.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to give you everything other people have in their lives and things I didn't think I deserved before I met you, they might laugh at us, they might call us by strange nicknames, they might Think we're weird, but they think it doesn't matter anymore. I just beg...you don't die." Hank loved his corpse too.
This is not a fucking heartwarming story at all.
Hank's craftsmanship is amazing. A man makes a tribe for himself. If you want wigs and wigs, you want a house, you need a bus, you need a movie theater, and you need to be self-sufficient. He and Manny are partying here, with new games every day. Light a fire, sing a brisk little tune, laugh. What a poignant and proud joy: I'm all alone, fine.
Hank has a melancholy personality since childhood. After his mother died, he closed himself up and even stopped masturbating. His father regarded him as mentally handicapped. Hank had a crush on Sarah who took the same bus every day, but he never said a word to her. Sarah got married, and Hank felt hopeless and hid in seclusion on the "deserted island" behind Sarah's house.
He never left the civilized world, but he never entered either. His little world with Manny looked warmer than it was outside.
Fortunately he made Manny. He made him want to live, he talked to him, he helped him through, he respected him. Their kiss was a masturbation of self-salvation. If you don't love yourself, how can you live.
"You can't talk to people, you can't sing in front of people, you can't express your sexuality in front of people, you can't fart in front of people, people don't like that."
"Then why do we go back to the real world, it sounds like There's nothing we can do there. You're my best friend and you can't even fart in front of me, it's too bad."
You may be timid, stupid, superficial, ugly, and useless, but that's you too. You can always create something beautiful, even if it is only something that you recognize. If you don't accept your true self, the one alive is not "you".
Sometimes we are powerless to change, to make ourselves better, and to make the world a better place. Can't you hide? Are we really qualified to judge other people's living conditions? Some people can only obtain happiness in fictional imaginings. Do you want to deprive even that happiness?
I repeat this question in my mind dozens of times every day. I hope there can be communication and understanding between people, but understanding is difficult after all. Can't we at least be respectful?
If the whole world hates you, please don't hate yourself. If the world only makes you despair, then loneliness is loneliness.
Egg Ni is very beautiful in the film, very cute. However, I can't tell when it's a real person and when it's a dummy, so... (laughs) Many of the original soundtracks were sung by Dannie herself, which is very nice.
The male protagonist Paul Dano is a good actor who is not well-known. In fact, we have all seen his plays: "War and Peace", "Youth", "Prisoner", "Twelve Years a Slave", "The Ring" The Messenger", "There Will Be Blood", "Little Miss Sunshine", "The Sopranos". His acting skills are really, really good, just to give one example: Hank dressed up as Sarah and Manny sitting next to him, holding his hand, obviously a messy, funny, patchwork of women's clothes, but everyone thought he was very beautiful at that moment gentle. In 2018, he will direct a film called "Wild Life", starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Carey Mulligan, you can look forward to it.
