This is a movie about loneliness

I love this movie.
I think it's a movie about loneliness.
I've only seen this movie twice, and I can't remember many specific plots, but I remember the loneliness and despair in the movie.
A person can only come to this world and leave alone. We can't choose when we come, and we can't go together when we go. No one can understand another. We are desperately looking for family, love, and friendship in this world, but no one can accompany us forever. We tried to talk and talk, but our mouths were dry and we were still chattering. Nell and her twin sister were a world of their own, but that was in Nell's own imagination. The male protagonist in the movie is just an expectation of people, he can't really enter Nell's heart, people just can't accept such a reality, no one can really understand another person, but we still say it over and over again: You know what? ? Do you understand? Really helpless.
It's like the housewife in The Hours who tried to commit suicide and went home crying in the bathroom, but the husband didn't know anything about that scene in the bedroom. It was real and desperate.
I am not strong enough to accept this reality, but how long can I be discouraged.

All fantasies, forever and ever disappointment.
