Lost in others world or die in yours

Don't complain about the looseness of this movie, because that is a fragmented world that really exists.
There are a lot of meaningless confessions and self-confessions in the movie. Your audience is right across from you, but you still talk to yourself, talk to yourself without communication. Every character in the movie has this characteristic, although not all of them are divided.
The beauty of modernism lies in the fact that everyone has their own garden of Eden, and everyone has their own beauty. It hangs on that own apple tree and has the tentacles. The beauty that belongs to Nathaniel is his hairstyle, his Beethoven. That is not the pursuit of beauty, it is the endless tenderness of harmony.
As for his anxiety, his wandering, and his madness, that is actually his beauty, you can't give him a better world you can't make him a better life. His world has completely belonged to those auditory hallucinations. He is constrained by the real society, and his auditory hallucinations are all contradictory reprimands, retreat, anxiety, and troubles. But he has his own set of senses, he doesn't need to blend into other people's world, but he can't completely ignore reality. He doesn't need a unified god, all he needs is a respectful and tender gaze from others to his world.
