"Autism is not a problem for him, the attitude of others is the real problem." Ben used a death without death to finally reconcile with the world, but does this ending really bring hope?
In the past films about autism, most of the works looked at them from the perspective of bystanders, but this film uses a lot of monologues to show Ben's heart, allowing the audience to see the world from Ben's perspective, and the people in the film. It is difficult to understand Ben's eccentric behavior to form a contrast and contrast, allowing the audience to more clearly feel where the gap between autistic patients and normal people comes from.
Autism is actually a developmental disorder, but including many viewers who do not understand in the comments, there are still some people who misunderstand it as simply closing themselves literally.
In fact, the film's interpretation of autism is more rigorous and detailed. The setting in the film is Asperger's syndrome, which is a type of autism spectrum. The difference from general autism is that There are no obvious language and intellectual problems, and even the IQ is higher than ordinary people. Their shortcomings are the lack of understanding and cognitive state of others' emotions, as well as the ability to express their own emotions. This is also shown in many places in the film.
Therefore, some people who commented that they were bullied when they were young and then developed autism, please wake up a little. Autism is a developmental disorder, and it is an abnormal secretion in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. autism, not autism.
Secondly, Asperger's syndrome is different from the general autism. The general autistic person does not have the desire to socialize with others. They are satisfied with living in their own world, while Asperger's syndrome Patients with the syndrome, who are interested in social contact, often crave and even try to connect with other people, but are unable to do so because of their own flaws.
Just like Ben in the film, although on the surface he seems to be afraid of contacting people, it is difficult to communicate with people, he dare not look directly into the eyes of others when socializing, and rejects physical touch by others, but for the Scarlett he imagined, he But staring into her eyes, laughing at her, and even longing for intimate contact with her. These are the manifestations of the desire to connect with others that he really wants to achieve.
Although there are some viewers who think that Scarlett may be real, and then converted into Ben's fantasy, my opinion is that the character of Scarlett is Ben's imagination from beginning to end.
The real image of Scarlett first appeared when Ben was forced to take pills after being bullied by classmates, met Scarlett in the park alone, and kissed her intimately, which was revealed from the perspective of others. is his fantasy.
Afterwards, he went to pick up Scarlett at the station as agreed, and saw the other party. Scarlett's image was exactly the same as that in the park before. From beginning to end, Scarlett is the same image, there is no difference between reality and fantasy, so I think this view is wrong.
Secondly, there is another reason that, whether it is a game or reality, there is no obstacle to Scarlett's communication with Ben.
As mentioned earlier, Ben suffers from Asperger's Syndrome. He is not unable to socialize because of fear, but because of his own barriers to understanding and expression. He cannot understand the words, deeds and feelings of ordinary people, and he cannot express his thoughts to others. , so it is difficult for him to communicate and communicate with normal people.
And if Scarlett is understood as that he is communicating with himself, then there is a very reasonable explanation for his socializing with Scarlett without any obstacles.
He wanted to commit suicide. The source of his pain was the long-term bullying at school, as well as his rejection and disgust for himself. For example, in the film, he repeatedly expressed his desire to destroy himself in the mirror and attempted self-harm.
This is also a common feature of Asperger's syndrome. Because of their relatively high IQ, most of them can perceive that they are different. They will find their own shortcomings and belittle themselves.
In fact, a person who has no desire for life will not commit suicide. People who choose to commit suicide often feel extreme pain and loss, and real life has made them unbearable, so they choose to end their lives on their own.
The first half of the film is real and depressing. Ben's life has entered the abyss of despair. He has been bullied by the school for a long time, and the status quo cannot be changed by teachers, parents and doctors. Ben has always been in an isolated and helpless situation.
In fact, whether it is a defective person or a normal person, they may face such problems. Can autism be the reason for being bullied? Or, is it enough for a woman to dress less as a reason to be molested? In fact, there is no reason to be bullied or hurt, and no reason can be an excuse for violence.
There are always those brutal self-savage abusers who wantonly destroy and trample other people's lives.
On the other hand, the weak group, who was bullied, could not resist and could not change, and could not even cry out.
Seeing Ben's mother in tears on TV, she said: There must be a death before everyone can pay attention to this issue.
Reminds me of the news I saw a while ago about the girl who was molested by a teacher but could not plead for her own grievance. She jumped off a building and committed suicide in the onlookers who were worried, curious, cold-eyed, or booing.
Perhaps the girl, after careful consideration, chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building as a last resort to cry out for herself.
The weak, only through the bloody tragedy can people understand the weight of the damage caused by the perpetrators.
It's just that why the weak and the weak have to pay such a cruel price in order to afford a chance to attract attention, and even after that, the world is still the same as it was, and they can't exchange their lives for the dawn after darkness.
Ben in the film used a two-pronged approach to achieve his goal, but the ending is still realistic and cruel.
In the second half of the plot, after imagining Scarlett, riding with her in the car, staring at her, and feeling the fragrance on her body, Ben was satisfied and decided to commit suicide by jumping from the platform to the tracks.
At this time, Scarlett, who had already left with the train, appeared again and rescued him. In the second half, Ben used his death without the need for death to accuse the perpetrators of their evil deeds.
But he still chose to leave the place where he originally lived. It was a new start, and it was also an escape for self-protection. However, there is no absolutely beautiful place in the world. No matter where you encounter it, tragedy will always happen again.
Where can I find the ideal perfect peach blossom garden? Unless it's a fantasy world.
Ben used fake death to end his predicament in exchange for a new life. He learned to deceive, not only to deceive others, but also to deceive himself.
He gave up suicide, along with his desire to connect with others. Just as Scarlett, who had left before intending to end his own life, reappeared and never disappeared, always accompanying him in his world.
When he came to a new place, he sat there, sharing his thoughts and thoughts with Scarlett in his fantasy, and all his feelings would be shared.
Ben is still the one who can't communicate with others and socialize normally. What has changed is that he let go of his desires and indulged in the Scarlett he imagined.
At this moment, it can also be said that Ben has changed from Asperger's syndrome to a purer autistic patient, choosing to actively close himself and only live in his own world.
