Maybe you can’t think of it. Robin Williams, the actor in this film, is as plagued by mental illness in reality as in the movie, but in reality he chose to commit suicide. The movie is a Happy Ending, and so is this movie. The last feature film he shot during his lifetime.

Quoting a sentence to state that "the more cheerful the appearance may pretend to be the more gloomy soul".

Director Dito Montiel believes that the main purpose of the film is to tell everyone that living can determine their own life. Williams also believes that "this is not so much a gay coming out movie, but rather an exploration of how to release oneself.

With the slow pace and repeated watching the movie storyline, I can feel the inner world of the character, either depressed or numb. Nolan (Williams), who has worked stably in the bank for 26 years, is just right. In 2015, both career and love had a good harvest, but he was not very happy. 60 years of wasted years, 48 ​​years of repression in the deep cabinet, an accidental encounter, coupled with his father's serious illness, Nolan (Williams) began to bravely face his identity and feelings.

It is very hard to be a person with a mask, and it will even suffocate oneself. It is better to be yourself, do what you want to do, love the person you want to love, as long as you are willing, it is never too late.

Nolan is very brave, and when he is 60 years old, he is willing to start facing himself; Nolan is lucky to have his wife and friends who understand him. The final outcome was satisfactory, but Williams chose to escape, which is regrettable.

Lastly, suppressing your emotions for a long time has a great impact on your life and work. It is not conducive to your physical and mental health. In serious cases, you will have the idea of ​​committing suicide. If you can't adjust yourself, you can try to seek professional help. If you have any problems You can come to me~
