People with depression can reflect on themselves

This movie is really old. If it weren’t for another movie, a link to this movie appeared next to it. I don’t think I would ever see this movie in my life. Finally, when I was looking online, I couldn’t stand the weird Chinese. I couldn’t find the English subtitles for the dubbing. I almost gave up immediately. I was impatient.

In fact , I can watch this movie several times when I’m fine . I just watched his actions silently and watched the actor’s depression. It's completely a manifestation of depression.

Although he committed suicide, the conflict between him and his parents has not been resolved. There is no family in a hug, telling each other their hearts, and then they are reunited, things do not go beyond this direction Development, his parents are so calm. The boy’s heart is that he thinks he killed his brother. He blames himself. He and his brother have a deep relationship. The loss of his brother and himself was the cause of his brother’s death, which made him unable to forgive himself. So in a normal life, he couldn’t continue his life. Like a wandering god, he wandered in the crowd every day. Even though he also drove with his friends, went to class together, and took a swimming training after class, he still had troubles around him. Few people, but he and the crowd are not in the same world at all, he is closing himself. Although he always wants to behave normally, when the wounds in his heart cannot be healed, no matter how normal on the surface, as long as there is anything that evokes his sad memories, he will immediately fall into endless self-blame. .

At this time, his family was also facing disintegration. His mother only played a role in fueling the flames. It could be said that he ignored his illness and even reminded him that his brother died. The mother's emotions are very indifferent. She treats her husband the same as her younger son. She is like a robot with no emotions. It just keeps her home bright and beautiful all day long, even if she is a successful housewife. Attending the funeral of the eldest son, she also paid great attention to letting her husband wear a dress or shoes that she thought was beautiful. She didn't cry at the eldest son's funeral either. Was it too much a blow or was her temperament like this? She was still gentle, loving her husband, and her eldest son. It was only after the death of her eldest son that the changes were so huge. Her son died and buried her love by the way. It was very sad. So much so that her husband asked her, "who you are?" who is it.

It is very painful for him to continue to pretend to be a normal person. He needs to find a way to get rid of. Swimming has no effect on healing his heart except for making him more physically fatigued, so he still leaves the swimming team. He went to look for his former patients, and perhaps those who had been sympathetic to each other were more considerate of each other and comforted each other, but his patients were more vulnerable than him.

The psychiatrist, love, and the love of the father in the family finally rescued the little boy. It seems that in all healing movies, there is always one of these elements that can heal the scars in the heart. In reality, whether you are healed or not, then During this period of darkness, you have to move forward in the dark. No matter how others help you or how you want to get free, it will take a while, and this time is always difficult. Maybe when you look back on those days, you will be deeply moved. Perhaps this is growth.
