People are gregarious animals, and they say that it is good to live their own lives, but they will always be influenced by the people around them, because everyone knows that it is very lonely to live in your own world. In this movie with autism as the protagonist, the male protagonist Ben cannot change autism and creates a space for himself to be accompanied by someone in his own world. He speaks to imaginary people on his own, and he doesn't want to get along with people in the real world. In addition to low self-esteem, there is also rejection of many despicable, hypocritical and cruel acts in this world. There was nothing wrong at first, but the people around him could not tolerate a special individual, they brought him painful torture, but in the end, it was his own beautiful pursuit of life that awakened his deepest hidden love. , Finally defeated the reality and the demons in his heart, and found happiness.

When Ben was miserably bullied by two of his classmates in the park, he was very angry, his face twitched and his hands and feet twitched. I can imagine that he wanted to take those two people apart. But he didn't fight back at all. I looked very distressed and painful at the time, Ben squeezed his face that was about to squeeze, but the limbs that fought back did not move. I was angry and anxious, and wanted to shout: You are fighting back! But when I reviewed this paragraph after reading it, I realized that it turned out that the problem can never be solved by the way of tooth for tooth. Even if he is very angry, but the great fear and low self-esteem in his subconscious are pressing on the top of his head, as well as his own personality that does not want to compete with others, making him unable to fight back. So even if the other party insulted him in extreme ways, he just endured this big rock and didn't fight against others. I'm living well, and the well water doesn't offend the river, but there are always people who can't understand people who are different from them. However, the effect of excessive tolerance has also been negative. Because of his isolation, he lives under the ridicule and contempt of his peers all the time. Cause his abnormal psychology to go further and further. Of course, the cause of all this, the problem first lie with Ben, in the attitude of others towards themselves, the reason is from yourself, why only bully you and not others? Perhaps we should also ask ourselves whether the things you encounter that are unpleasant to get along with others are also related to our own behavioral attitudes? Of course, unfortunately, many times when you are not influencing others, they think you are alien and in turn want to change you.


In the memorial at the end of the film, the inhumane image exposes the dirty behavior of people naked. There are the initiators, the booing crowd, and the spectators. Among them are people who are reluctant to see this scene, but everyone is walking the same route. No one really stands up and bravely tears up this dirty face. They know in their hearts that taking a route that is not in line with the tastes of the people will lead to revenge and abandonment. In this big social family, weirdness is eye-catching behavior. Just look at it, all to protect yourself.

In the past ten years in the real world, he imprisoned himself and refused to respond to the external world. Fortunately, although he is autistic, he retains pure and kind emotions in his heart. In the virtual world, Ben phantoms a girl who affirms him and supports him, allowing him to find the love that has been sealed for a long time, bringing him the strength to cheer up, and stand up again in reality.

In the end, it was Ben who awakened the ability to love someone, made him accept himself again, and used his wisdom to severely punish the wicked people who completely lost their conscience and morality. Seeing his last burst of self-confidence, I feel happy in my heart~ With a heart to the people and things around me, you can make depression and pain less, simple things, the only thing to do is to have love in my heart~ This is the humanistic care that we need to experience carefully. Learn to care for a person, no matter how serious it is or not, love will always respond.

For autistic people, it may be the greatest help for them to let them live in their own world, and we try not to disturb them.
