The humanistic spirit of French film is fundamentally reflected in the film

To tell you the truth, as a fan who saw Vincent Cassel when he was young and handsome, aggressive, sexy and wild, I was ready to cry when I saw his gray hair, old wrinkles and gentle eyes.

Indeed, as many people say, the society is getting more and more advanced, and the attitude towards autistic people has gradually improved from cognition to concern,But about 99% of people's views and behaviors towards the so-called "mental illness" are all like this. I know you are very pathetic, but please stay away from me. Few people know that the people who are really around to take care of them without any harm, not only their parents, but also unrelated strangers, ordinary people just like you and me.

Like any vulgar person, I might ask such people what made them decide to devote themselves to such a career. After all, "work" for many people is just a "job" to support their family. Maybe they have a special life experience that motivates them to "give back to society," or there are hidden reasons they have to do something about it, maybe they have a messy life outside of work, maybe they have a completely different emotional world outside of helping others, etc., etc.

However, the film does not focus too much on Bruno and Malik's personal life. There is no deep dig and emotion about their background. There is even no plot to describe the two people who put any energy on their own emotions and thoughts. It may seem to us that their work is very difficult, even cumbersome, onerous, but interacting with people with autism is difficult enough, and you have no control over when the person you care for is going to do something that requires your immediate presence. But for Bruno, it is a very common thing to guard Joseph all the time. Put down the phone, get to him as soon as possible, and lend him his shoulder. That's all. Until the end of the film, I seem to think that there are not many emotions such as "there is love on earth" that we expect, and there is no "responsibility" or "sense of mission" involved. Bruno has been guarding Joseph for ten years, not because Of Joseph's dependence on him or his sympathy for him. He just put Joseph as a normal human, just hope he will have normal people's survival ability, have a normal job, can take the subway, can people of normal communication, and he must now and needs to be accompanied by his side, but is Joseph normal demand, but it needs more than most people, It just takes more time.

Some people say the biggest problem with people is that they think too much and do too little. In fact, put down yourself, don't think too much, many things will become very simple. Bruno also goes on blind dates and wants to start a family, but his job makes it harder to do so. But to him, it was a common helplessness. It's like when we want to buy apples, but there are only oranges in the supermarket, so we have to come back next time.

A very cheerful colleague in the lab has a 17-year-old child with autism. Again, like many others, I felt an involuntary outpouring of sympathy for her when I heard the news. She talked about the sacrifices she had to make when her children were growing up, but there was no pain, no fatigue, and we got a lot of help. Since the child was diagnosed, people like Bruno have been helping her. In helping a growing child with autism, how can she better integrate into this somewhat bad society while maintaining her unicorn-like characteristics?
