Pain is for awakening and redemption

The narrative method of the film is non-mainstream, and it has a strong impact on the heart and resonates with the soul. It interprets a series of life experiences of a substitute teacher Henry. The pressure makes him exhausted, and he feels chaotic and helpless. His death completely emptied his heart. He is a paradoxical individual seeking redemption in a reality where his own conscience and beliefs have been destroyed.
Classic lines----
that bag, it doesn't feel anything. It is empty. I don't have any kind of feeling for you to damage either. do you know? I can understand your anger. I used to be very angry because of some things, you know. You have absolutely no reason to be mad at me, because... I'm one of the very few people who would give you a chance like this.
Shut up. you listen to me. I know you're an uneducated alcoholic hanging out with these dying old men to pass the time. But I paid you to take care of his daily life, and you weren't taking care of him at all! I told you to go and remove the lock on the bathroom! You know he often wakes up in the middle of the night and is very forgetful, so you have to stay with him to make him feel a little more secure. I will make it clear to you now that you should stop ignoring his needs, or I will ignore you as well. I will fire you! You also have your own family, your own children, how can you do this to him! you understand? !
A good film should not only give us a visual impact but also a soul impact. It should also be a reflection of human nature, although this kind of thinking is accompanied by pain and regret. Tell us to respect everyone's personality, everyone is eager to be recognized, and don't trample on each individual's personality and feelings at will. The whole film has a depressing and heavy tone, calling for spiritual health and humanistic care for everyone's personal dignity and behavior. The existence of the individual person must be respected.

    It has a very emotional expression, rich and full visual aesthetics, as well as a good soundtrack and excellent actors. But the narrative is completely messed up, and so much depression, sadness and despair become a flashy empty shell, just as artificial and superficial as the protagonist's long sermons.

    Three and a half. Looking down at the sorrow of this society with sympathetic eyes, but Brody is not Jesus after all, he cannot bear the sins of this world, and he can only do nothing in the face of collapse. The film's reference to books that can help people escape the ravages of sin is underestimated and only occasionally mentioned. It's just a sad story and lacks power.

Detachment quotes

  • Henry Barthes: We have such a responsibility to guide our young so that they don't end up falling apart, falling by the wayside, becoming insignificant.

  • Henry Barthes: I realized something. I'm a non-person, Sarah. You shouldn't be here, I'm not here. You may see me, but I'm hollow.
