Be a likable person

"In this world, either you are smart, or you can be a likable person." This is what Stewart's mother told him. Stewart finally chose to be a likable person after experiencing a clever life.
The absolute majority of people choose the former, because no one will admit that he is an idiot, on the contrary, he can show his own intelligence as much as he can to gain social recognition. Even if you choose the latter, it is "be smart to be a likable person". Once this "universal value" is formed, Stewart is undoubtedly an outlier, a person with mental problems.
This film aims to criticize this so-called "universal value" in order to awaken people's awakening to a true and happy life.
Many classics of this film have been excavated. What I want to say is: The film was shot in the early 1950s in the United States. It should have been a period of great economic development in the United States. It wanted to remind people to chase their fame Don't forget the good life around you and the relatives and friends who need to love and praise in a world like an arena. And we are not at the same stage at this time, so if we watch this old film today, the new ideas are far-reaching.
