Throughout the whole plot, senseless decadence spreads from the first two minutes, but the most decadent is the scene of Seymour seeing a psychiatrist and his new girlfriend.

We can say that he was an otaku uncle who accomplished nothing before, and also has a collection addiction. Accidentally "stupid" brought him two uninvited guests. However, if you change this image to a face, and replace it with a delicate, elegant and withdrawn person, I mean that this character may be the most like the heroine, but it has a strange positioning, and it is difficult to understand this image gap. How to be overcome and fall into such emotional entanglement. And my understanding of this is that the actor's face is not the "male protagonist's face" that should be in the movie, so I have a stereotype, especially in the last scene, in the same frame with the new girlfriend who is short and fat but cares a lot , made me feel weirdly uncomfortable because my stereotype told me he was destined to be like this in the first few shots.

"Nobody likes me because I suck" is Seymour at the beginning.

"I love you, but I don't want to live alone anymore" is Seymour at the end.

That seems to be the reason why I'm impressed, I'm alone now, exactly where I started; people like us saying "we suck from the inside out, so no one likes me for sure", but we just From the bottom of my heart, I still hope to meet the one, the one of Qin Se and Ming. Arguing from the opposite side, one of the quality of Seymour's last girlfriend can be caught no matter what. After all, self-confidence and arrogance, when the concentration of fear from the testicles and the pituitary is a little higher, it will naturally give in, the same as before.
