In Elwood’s world, what he thinks of beauty happens to be the madness that others suspect. People become cute because they believe in dreams, and they lose too much real happiness because they believe in dreams. In "My friend is called Harvey" "In this movie, I would rather believe that Elwood is a man living in my dream. I often think why people become so obsessed with something or someone that they sublimate into a state of madness. In the final analysis, it is because of their unhappiness. Looking back at Elwood’s life, he is old, has no fixed occupation, no normal social circle, no wife, no children, no home, and the object that he can pin his emotions and joy is always conjecture. Bunny coming out. Elwood is obsessed with that rabbit, just like a child is obsessed with the sweetness of candy, it is not a kind of happiness. At least, many people have been unable to understand the joy of dreaming, because they have been in reality for too long too long, and dreams are always awake and become the creed of most people. It takes courage to bid farewell to a beautiful dream. Elwood and his friend Harvey bid farewell more not to rely on courage but to have to. When we speculate about Elwood from our own perspective, he is just a joke in our lives. Behind this joke is more emotional displacement.
Often chat with friends, why do we live? Most of the answers are nothing more than responsibility. A very small number of good men and women say that they live for faith. For me, we should live for good. Beauty is not a kind of morality, not a kind of belief, but a very simple state of mind.

In fact, what we admire is not their youth but the beauty in them, a purity that has not been contaminated by the world.
In the last few shots of the movie, there is a scene in which after Elwood walked out of the mental hospital, the sincere fear on his face made me feel lost. A man who was so warm and beautiful was not understood by the world, and finally had to abandon the beauty he had. Become the same as everyone else. Everyone is born as a dream maker. With age, the courage to dream dreams is fading. This fading means compromise and helplessness to reality.
After Nolan's movie "Inception" was released, many people were marveling at the whimsical thoughts of dreams in dreams. This is not a complex of nostalgia for beauty, and then this beauty can only exist in dreams, and this is also Many movies, many people’s scars, a perfect dream, a waiting to be painted in prison, a kind of unattainable old age...When the dream is too beautiful, we all expect the dream to be reality. However, dreams are just dreams. Like Elwood’s friend Harvey, it only exists in Elwood’s imagination.
Indeed, we cannot deprive others of the right to dream, nor can we use various so-called living standards to wake others from dreams and return to reality. For some people, their lives will arise and die because of dreams. Elwood, who has bid farewell to Harvey, is like a new-born bird, looking at the world with trepidation, a little more helpless and sad, and a little less beautiful and warm...
