[Lei] No matter how the world has hurt you, your pain will not disappear until you decide to reconcile with the world

Marginal personality's perception of the world is very black and white. It is either all good or all bad. This kind of problem cannot be separated from the severe trauma of the heart since childhood. People who are diagnosed with mental illness usually find it difficult to accept, because everyone has independent thinking and feelings. Who would want these thoughts and feelings to be denied as worthless?

Due to intense emotions, marginal personality feels denied When bullying, the feeling is stronger than others, just like the average person who is cut from paper and the pain will get better every few days, but the edge personality feels the pain of tens of thousands of volts electric shock.

Alex grew up with congenital deficiencies and acquired disorders, and always kept getting hurt, but outsiders responded to her pain only as if she was sick and asked her to take medicine without paying attention. She sees Oprah every day telling herself that she has the value of existence, and one day the world will listen to her and understand her world... She finally won the lottery, and her dreams come true.

Everyone is finally willing to listen to her! Alex keeps talking about all the pains and thoughts of his life, she wants everyone to hear what she thinks, she wants to do all she wants to do, become somebody, No more restraint...until the psychologist mentioned her relationship with the interviewed students in front of her boyfriend. She was groggy and felt something was wrong in her big dream. Isn’t she the one who has been injured all the time? But why did she seem to have hurt someone? Distracted, she knocked over the dishes in her hand, this one who was supposed to show off to everyone bounced back and sent herself to the

hospital with burns and bruises . She was still in a state of irritability and could not hear the pain of her friend’s unemployment. On the TV show, the people who had been scolded by her boss for a showdown all turned to sue the company. His friends were unwilling to answer the phone. She found herself like It was as lonely as misunderstood in the past. She can't take care of herself or her dog, the animals she thinks can take care of after she has money. Finally she let herself out of the room naked, unable to support herself in the dark.

The friend's breakup confession awakens the dreamer, forcing Alex to face the fact that he has changed from a victim to a perpetrator. My friend told her to take care of the money and live a comfortable life! Alex felt that was not what she wanted, she needed to say what she wanted to say last with the last money... She hopes to tell those who let her People who felt the light in the darkness know her gratitude.

In the final show, Alex is finally no longer injured Alex. She tells everyone that her birth was not a mistake, although she once thought she was going to drown but she didn't drown but just wanted to be cared for. She gave the rest of the money to her friends, not because of sympathy, but because she knew that when she didn't believe in herself, she believed that her friend was the one who made her feel "heard" the most. Alex, who doesn't always play himself off the stage, puts his own sign on the stage. Always pitying herself from the sidelines, she finally became the protagonist of her life, accepting the pain of the past and her own shortcomings. Unlike the cheap swan in the first show, she rose to the top as a truly beautiful swan.

Back home, her boyfriend gave her a V8 camera. Even if no one sees her story anymore, she can see her own story and start again slowly.

When I watched it, I felt that this piece Not everyone can accept it. Not everyone can feel the same feeling about the world where others have collapsed, especially when the protagonist's own feeling experience is different from that of ordinary people.

After being injured, a person feels like a hole in his heart, and he can't help but find ways to fill it up: talk to people who have nothing to do with the problem, talk about their pain, spend money, and meet someone who has finally been sure of themselves. I can’t help falling in love if I don’t particularly like it... these behaviors are actually no different from most people.

What this film ultimately gives is an antidote.
Even if you can buy everything, the whole world will see you, and your pain will not disappear until you reconcile with yourself and the world.

"I do hope for you, Alex. I hope you have a good life."
