The withdrawn and eccentric fairy tale writer Henry and illustrator Reddy the Elder collaborated for years to create a best-selling children's book, with Henry seeing Reddy as his only friend. Young Henry was very pessimistic about life because of his unfortunate childhood, believing that life is full of sadness and joy is just illusory. Old Ruidi, who suffered from a brain tumor, faced the ordeal with optimism. He told Henry: I love women, you, and myself, but I love living more, and life is full of fun for me.

After the death of old Ruidi, Henry fell into a low ebb. He not only lost his best friend, but also faced the responsibility for breach of contract when the new fairy tale about Beaver Madi could not be completed on time. The company dispatched female painter Ruili to cooperate with Henry, but the natural Henry, who hated women, humiliated Ruili when they met, and Ruili walked away. But Ruili, who was so destitute that she had no money to pay the rent, had to endure the harassment of her strange-tempered mother in addition to the economic dilemma. Ruili had to choose to cooperate with Henry for the preferential payment offered by the company.

Henry kept talking to the dead old Reddy, asking him for the meaning of life, and the old Reddy told him to live well and enjoy life. Over time, Henry gradually fell in love with Ruili, and Ruili also had a good impression of Henry's frankness, eccentricity and genius. They only have three weeks to complete the fairy tale, but Ruili's ex-boyfriend wants to reconcile with Ruili at this time, which arouses the jealousy of Henry. In front of the tomb of old Ruidi, Henry gave Ruili a stone, which Ruili treasured. On the beach days, Henry, who had never loved a woman, clumsily tried to please Ruili, and the two finally sparked. However, the company was dissatisfied with the slow progress of Henry's fairy tale and decided to let Ruili and another writer complete the new book. Henry therefore misunderstood Ruili and thought she was a spy sent by the company. Henry threw the stone he gave to Ruili and threw it away. Annoyed Ruili again.

The distressed Henry turned to the dead old Reddy for help again, but this time even Reddy couldn't help him. Henry, who was so remorseful, was determined to find the stone and Ruili. At the book signing scene, Henry finally admitted to Ruili that he was a big fool, and apologized to Ruili for his stubbornness and cowardice. At the tomb of old Reddy, Henry remembered the words of old Reddy: Life is a happy past. At this moment, Ruili, who finally forgave him, stood behind him. She picked up the stone Henry put on the tombstone and asked Henry: Will you never abandon it? Henry said: No. Riley said: "It's unique. Henry said: I know.

The 90-minute movie has an uncomplicated plot, but it is a bit laborious to describe it in words. Emotions and inner struggles are always inexplicable things. Some people call this movie a good gift for Valentine's Day, and it makes sense. .
Henry, an autistic and low self-esteem young man who is full of pessimism about life, dare not drive, is afraid of women, and is very dependent on his only good friend, old Reddy, after the death of Reddy, he still keeps talking with him, the reality and memory Interweaving is a feature of the film that reminds me of a saying: a person who has passed away truly dies when he is no longer remembered by us. Ruili, who also had an unfortunate childhood, was disturbed by her neurotic mother, and her ex-boyfriend was still wandering between her and another woman, so although Henry gave her a very bad impression from the beginning, she still saw He found the simple, hard-to-seek heart that Henry hid under his eccentric temper.
Maybe lonely people are not alone, as long as they meet, fortunately, there is always a chance.

    The movies that have been on the hard drive for a long time are not as bad as I thought. I like the freaky hobbies of the male protagonist. I also liked being pressed when I was a child.

Dedication quotes

  • Henry: [handed piece of paper by Rudy] Who's this?

    Rudy Holt: Uh, red suit, fat ass, best friend's a reindeer. Bones Mrs. Claus

    Henry: [laughs] What's happening here?

    Rudy Holt: Santa's sleigh, runs over Marty's tail, Marty jumps up, bites him in the crotch. Gives Santa the clap.

  • Henry: Okay, uh, before we can, uh... work effectively with one another, I think we should be comfortable. So, ten minutes, okay? Then - then work. Okay? Go. Okay, I'll start. Uh, I hate my mother. I hate my goddamn dead father more. Rudy was the only friend I ever had. I had a girlfriend once who I used to like to masturbate to more than have sex with. Carrots and snakes frighten me. Umm... I'm superstitious about the numbers...

    [holds up three fingers, then six fingers, then seven fingers, crosses himself, blows into his fist, and makes a motion as if to throw the breath away]

    Henry: I can only stir things counterclockwise, and I know that if I don't, something bad will happen. I take size eleven-and-a-half shoe. I don't have a favourite book. Umm... Oh... What's crucial? Oh, I don't drive or ride in cars. Statistically speaking, you have a 100% chance of being in an accident in your lifetime. They're death boxes. I give to Amnesty International on the off chance I'm ever imprisoned and tortured for my political beliefs. Paradoxically, I have no political beliefs. Umm... life is pain. Black kids are cuter than white ones. What's important? Uh... I didn't mean it when I compared you to our waitress. I was only trying to hurt you. I could've been meaner about your looks, and what I would've said would have made you cry. Umm... I have a towel I can't throw out 'cause it may have feelings. When I ejaculate, I go into deep depressions. Though by any standard you're a nice person, I deeply resent having to work with you. I love Japanese monster movies. Gamera, specifically.

    Lucy: Gamera movies?
