The brain is big, the story is very old

The trailer is eye-catching, and it feels like a very novel subject. The feature film continues this sense of novelty, but under the cool brain hole, this is another story about self, about loneliness, about love... The

male protagonist is still like in "Little Sunshine", it seems that all the literary films are I prefer such a gloomy teenager, so of course this is also a story of a teenager (youth).

The setting of the story is still an ordinary man who is depressed, drifting to an isolated island, and then searching for himself in survival. Does it look like "Robinson Crusoe"? Only a corpse replaced a ball. I don't believe that the corpse will resurrect and speak, and I guess the director does not want to make a ghost film. Who on earth is talking? What does this "corpse" that is as proficient in martial arts as the Swiss Army Knife in every way represent?

I have seen a saying before that the actor was actually dead when he hanged himself, and behind it was the illusion that he was dying. The Hong Kong film "Zombies" used this method. But the ending of this movie is so extraordinary that my friends who watched the movie with me couldn't figure out what the movie was talking about.

However, I think that whether the body is resurrected is not the key point. The United States does not have the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, so why do we have to give you a result?

So the process is the focus of this movie, and everything.

The heroine of the movie is temporarily determined to be the one in the phone, but she is just a symbol. A dream lover, a stranger, an untouchable symbol. Although the actor and the "corpse" staged scenes of first love encounters, this woman has long since sublimated to the role of a stepping stone. Do you have the courage to talk to her, do you let go of your obsession with her, or are you sure you really love her? At the end, the actor seemed to let go.

But he couldn't put down the "corpse". Why?

Because the "corpse" is his self-projection, in other words, the "new self" he created. This is a good friend who has the same taste as him, sharing joys and sorrows, saving him from danger. Please, he is really just a corpse, not a superman. Therefore, to explain this movie from a psychological point of view, it is more like the protagonist pinning his confidence and hope on a certain object-a corpse, and then he exploded with his energy and took him to return home through the mountains and rivers.

Loneliness can produce hallucinations, and the desire of human beings to survive is far beyond one's imagination. It seems that I am thinking of "Juvenile Pie" again, but this story is much more gentle and lovely. At the end, the "corpse" activated his "deflate" skills and threw himself into the ocean, smiling happily at the leading actor. I think it's still a very complete explanation, after all, it can't let the male protagonist rise to the level of necrophilia. Because this is after all a story about the growth of a teenager, not a horror movie.

PS This movie is obviously niche, but there is no shortage of jokes that make the public gag. The audience with me included both the unshaven, fat uncle, the tattooed youth who came to see in a team, and the elegant and decent middle-aged couple. But there is no thin and gentle boy in a plaid shirt! This movie clearly belongs to them! The friend (male) read it and said straightforwardly: "What's this talking about?! It's not pretty at all, but it's a neuropathy!" Well, he is an ordinary young man who has never had a plight about himself, and he can expect him to see something. Hualai (rolling eyes).
