Reminds me of the French movie "sortir" (Leaving) I saw before. At the beginning of the film, a mental patient with autism is described. He panics when he sees the door. No external force can make him overcome his inner fear and open a door. Although he is in a small house, he always imagines that there is a beautiful fairyland in front of him. After several "violent exchanges" between the mentally ill patient and the doctors, the mentally ill patient was forcibly pulled out of the door. The scene was spinning, and suddenly a cry was heard. It turned out that all this was a baby's dying struggle in the mother's womb. The door that he is unwilling to cross is the last line of defense leading to an unknown world. If we cross it, we will live in this world independently from now on as an individual.
The temple in "The Journey of Autism" is afraid of doors, automatic sliding doors in supermarkets, and unknown doors. The doctor said that the small temple is due to the lack of mother's care when she was young, which led to the current autism symptoms. This gave my random speculation room to develop. It is precisely because of the love of parents that babies have the energy to step out of the unknown "door". And our growth is also because of the care we carry, so that we, as independent individuals, have enough strength and courage to open doors to the unknown and grow. Temple never lets anyone touch herself, not even her mother, and when she's scared, she relies on a wooden "simulated hug" she invented to give herself that moment of comfort. However, temple is lucky, she met a good teacher, she has a family who loves him, she met a friendly "straight aunt". Although there are indifference and those guys who have no sympathy, but in the bumps, she overcomes herself tenaciously. At the end of the movie, she suddenly hugged her mother, whom she hadn't hugged for decades. She walked through door after door, stepped onto her own stage, and smiled happily. Sometimes I wonder what makes a person a murderer, is it an unhappy childhood, or is in an extremely unequal and deformed social environment, and the cold accumulation finally erupts at a certain moment, resulting in a tragedy. But in this tragedy, who is to blame? Is it himself, the maker of unhappy childhood, or the small society he lives in? Both are wrong. Humans are born with original sin. Who of us can escape the relationship.
Fortunately, we still have warmth. Warm yourself and try to warm others.
Temple has a special feeling because of autism and has a special understanding of animals. It is she who understands the sad cry of animals before they are dying in the slaughterhouse. So by virtue of her special talent, she invented a unique humanized method of ending the life of cattle, so that the cattle that are about to be slaughtered can end their lives without pain. "natrual is cruel, but we don't have to be. we own them some respect (nature is cruel, but we are not, we owe them some dignity)" Actually not only to animals, but to plants, to those special groups, to Every one of us is. To be a kind person like the achievement temple, put away the damn self-righteousness and indifference, we came to this world with love, there is no reason not to live in this world with love, and there is no reason to live in this world with indifference. I have to remember, I have to remember!
