Cinema is an art form, and all art forms tell, describe, tell.
The film made by the female director, as far as I understand it, is talking about how to treat depression. The movie titled You've Never Been Here. The male protagonist's lifelong nightmare When he was a child, his father abused his mother, and when he abused himself, he didn't do anything and could only bear it silently. When I grew up and joined the army, I witnessed the violence and murder of children in the enemy country, but I was powerless. When he became a policeman and rescued the trafficked people, all the girls in a car suffocated to death, and he was powerless.
The root of all his feelings of worthlessness and inability to do anything is that he could not stop his father's violence when he was a child.
Strangely, whether he was a soldier or a policeman, even if he became a contract killer later, he should have done a lot of meaningful things. Thanks parents. But all he kept regurgitating in his mind were passages he couldn't save. All depressed patients are basically obsessed with things they couldn't do in the past for a long time, and they turn a blind eye to the positive things they have done in life.
because of what? Because negative things hurt so much.
In the end, the hero did not commit suicide. Why, because the little girl Nina killed the culprit herself, she rescued herself, and did what the male protagonist has never done in her life. Nina has been coerced for a long time, and she counts down 50 when she encounters unbearable things, but she does not It's not cowardice, she will learn, she sees the process of the male protagonist's rescue of her, killing, killing bad people, seeing blood, can stop bad people and save herself. So, she killed the governor with a razor, ate dinner in peace, and never counted again. Her expression and lines have also changed and she will smile. Today is a beautiful day.
There is a difference between the behavior of the male protagonist and the female protagonist. The male protagonist is always helping others but cannot help himself.
The male protagonist finally achieved redemption, probably because he kept insisting on saving people, doing the right thing, saving so many people, and finally waiting for a person with strong psychological energy who can save himself and others. How many times, he wanted to commit suicide, gestured with a knife, wanted to lie on the rails, wanted to be buried with his mother when he died, but he didn't die. He was also very strong, so strong that he saved the girl once, and then went to save it again.
Depression requires work and struggle, no matter how ugly the struggle is, you have to struggle constantly, you must not die, and your work must be as beautiful as possible.
If you have extraordinary ability, persevere, and achieve extraordinary things, you can save yourself if you cannot achieve extraordinary things.
