Pat should be an optimistic and simple person. He didn't notice his wife's cheating. When he got home, he saw the underwear and coats discarded everywhere on the floor, and he didn't even think about it. Therefore, the blow was also huge, which directly led to being admitted to a mental hospital. Even if he was taken out of the hospital by his mother, he was still obsessed with his cheating wife, and persistently changed his expectations in exchange for his wife's change of heart. I think whether it's the people watching the movie or the people in the movie, they all look at Pat with pity. According to common sense, he is just boasting about his father, but everyone does not want to stimulate him. People who are infatuated are so pitiful, everyone can see that no effort can change a person's heart, but they still insist on it. How else could he be sent to a mental hospital? I took a deep breath because of this, how big is the gap between me and him? People who are different from what most people do is a neurotic in everyone's eyes. There are always people who seem to be sophisticated and sophisticated to tell you that there is no reason for love, don't force it, and so on. Those who persist seem to be fools and insane. The relatives had to wait silently, expecting the fool to become wiser, or at least admit the reality. Pat's symptoms are not mild, and he can't control his emotions. He is paranoid reading the novels that his wife used to teach. I also read a set of "Base", not to mention learning mathematical modeling, insisting on learning English, playing tennis, etc., and made myself an all-around player, and others have long disappeared in my life. So, I understand Pat very well, and understand his attitude of trying to keep himself optimistic and positive. Even if it is useless, even if that person never shows up again, that kind of effort will not be extinguished. Because trying is better than doing nothing or being unhappy. Fortunately, I was not diagnosed with a neuropathy, at most I was called "weird". So what? More than one person has asked "Why are you so innocent", I forgot how to answer, because there is nothing to answer, "Why not?" Well, isn't it a testament to the tolerance of the world and the strong vitality of individuals? Pat succeeded in losing weight, insisted on running, and worked hard to make himself better. Even if he didn't win his wife's heart, he deserved our praise. A person who is loyal and persistent in his feelings, even if he is crazy, is a lovely neurosis.
Fortunately, there is another neurosis, Tiffany, in Pat's life, and it's even worse. The conversation between the two is really a situation where the pot is not opened and the pot is raised. Being accused of being low in emotional intelligence, I found it quite comforting to see that someone spoke so directly. Tiffany's neurosis came from the accidental death of her husband, and Pat asked "How did your husband die?" Just realized that he had made a mistake, and then asked "How is your job?" The other party replied that he had just been fired. The existence of another neurosis should allow people to find a little psychological superiority. Pat thinks that his neurosis is better than Tiffany's, which makes Tiffany furious, and the scene of flipping the table and leaving is very relieved. In real life, there are very few opportunities to do this. In reality, do we always feel that we are better than others? In fact, everyone wants to talk about it for comfort. Who is more bizarre than whom? I don't know if Tiffany is sympathetic to Pat, but she is persistent enough to make a surprise attack on his way to run, forcing him to practice dancing, and finally let him gradually get rid of his original anxiety and persistence. In particular, Tiffany's consistent debate with his father at Pat's house was well-founded, reversed the Pat's family's prejudice against her, and won respect. She just said something lightly: "I did some research." How careful it is. A person's intentions can be felt, no matter how easy they say it. I think from that time on, everyone looked at this crazy woman with admiration. The final outcome is a matter of course. Although it is the love of two lunatics, it feels very normal. It seems that there are many people around us. The people who can get together, even if they know your neurotic side, they are still tolerant. Who is neurotic and who is normal? Who is the weirdo? But what everyone sees is different. Those who can accept the weird side have real feelings.
Happy Ending seems to be the logical choice. But when you think about it, is it easy? Not really. I admire the ingenuity of the screenwriter, who can write the stories of the two neuroses so that they seem to resonate with each other, and the ending is reasonable. Everyone is normal in life, and there are no strange things, so there will be no stories. If there are no dark clouds, where would the silver linings come from? So, let the storm come more violently. At most, there will be a neurosis, and there will be the same neurosis as you.
