“I’ll watch something to not be sad”
I feel like this movie, unintentionally, portrays the beginning of depression really well.(NOTE: THAT’S NOT THE MAIN POINT OF THE MOVIE. PLEASE READ MY OTHER REVIEWS ABOUT IT, THERE I SPEAK HIGHLY OF THE FILM’S ACTUAL MESSAGE.)
As I was saying, those first thoughts about dying… That sense of not fitting in with your surroundings anymore. But why?Why do you suddenly stop fitting in?Why do you no longer feel like you belong?
It’s like being a deer standing in the middle of a highway. What is it doing there? It should be in the forest. Right?
But the forest isn’t the same forest it grew up in. The trees are burned. The animals have grown, changed, some have disappeared. And the deer is just trying to find a new ecosystem.
But on the road, on the highway, there’s a high chance it’ll get killed, run over.
But what if… maybe that’s exactly what it’s looking for?
