The film seems to imply that, in the face of such pervasive entertainment, it is difficult to avoid contact at all, and to keep not getting lost in it. And insisting on the social pressures they face, or letting them be rejected and bullied by people around them, may be a group of people who choose to pretend to be assimilated by entertainment. People who like small groups sometimes face this situation. 】
