In fact, what the director wants to express is the pain of being misunderstood mad world

It is recommended to watch the director's cut version, which is more than 200 minutes long. After reading it, read the translation of the book. That book is the macro premise of the whole movie. In fact, this movie is a science fiction suspense, but I think it is a A movie that reflects people's hearts, the director's debut, and the mad world at the end is what the director wants to express. In this crazy world, remember that the male protagonist had a conversation with his father, and he and his father said I'm crazy. That's what his father said. The paragraphs are simple and peaceful, but so true, no spoilers. I have seen a saying that I deeply agree with: when you surpass others by 5 steps, others will envy you; when you surpass others by 50 steps, others will admire you and follow you; when you exceed 500 steps, others will treat you as a ghost Afraid of you afraid of you. Great movie, and the soundtrack at the end touched my heart even more.

[Pommeroy is reading to the class from the 1954 short story "The Destructors" by Graham Greene]
Karen Pommeroy: "There would be headlines in the papers. Even the grown-up gangs who ran the betting at the all-in wrestling and the Barrow Boys would hear with respect of how Old Misery's house had been destroyed. It was as though this plan had been with him all his life, pondered through the seasons, now in his 15th year crystallized with the pain of puberty." What is Graham Greene trying to communicate with this passage? Why did the children break into Old Misery's House? Joanie?
Joanie James: They wanted to rob him.
Karen Pommeroy: Joanie, if you had actually read the short story, which, at a whopping 13 pages, would have kept you up all night, you would know that the children find a great deal of money in the mattress, but they burn it.
