There is a lingering quietness and sentimentality that permeates the entire story. This sentimentality comes from the heartache for Fox. He is warm and harmless, and what is even more commendable is that he has a big heart to treat everyone kindly. Maybe he will never be able to stand in front of the stage and let others see his shining light, but his world has always been innocent and spotless.
The light used in the film is warm tones, but it also brings out the kindness and loneliness of Fox. Foss eats cereal alone, plays war games with his best friends, and no one shares his thoughts; he likes children, treats them well, and plays with them, but he is regarded as a monster by the children's father; Colleagues are always making fun of him. Maybe it's only when he's manipulating the toys and calling the midnight radio host that he can really feel a little warmth. Fox is like a little boy who has not yet emerged from childhood, maintaining a simple relationship with the world. He never knew how to resist, no matter what happened, he just suffered silently.
