"In the game you can be anyone, but in real life, you can only be the dirty rotten person in the mirror, unless you learn to lie to yourself and others"
Our ordinary people's understanding of autism may be limited to the patient's closure of themselves and unwilling to contact others, and this group still has superhuman talents in some aspects.
We often cast sympathetic glances at them, and we stop at sympathy.
But who can understand their hearts?
There is a Belgian film that meticulously describes the mental activities of an autistic teenager.
Ben X
The film is not limited to the autistic group, but also focuses on school bullying.
The protagonist is a teenager with autism, his parents have never been able to open his heart, Ben is also afraid of contact with others, and the game is the only way for him to actively contact the outside.
Ben X is his game name.
In the game, Ben is an invincible hero, a beautiful mage who often accompanies him, and Ben also invests a lot of feelings on him.
In real life, Ben took a specific bus and took a specific route to school at a specific time.
He observes the people around him and wants to blend in with them by imitating their behavioral and action expressions.
But they didn't understand what their expressions meant.
Attending a regular school is particularly eye-catching compared to other students.
A group of young boys and girls do not know the bottom line of morality, so Ben is bullied by two poor students, and even pulls down Ben's pants in public.
A group of people gathered around Ben to take pictures and videos.
Deeply devastated, Ben was even more closed to himself.
Until the two poor students forced Ben to eat ecstasy and even spit into Ben's mouth, Ben could not stand it anymore and decided to end his life.
At the crucial moment, the beautiful mage Scarlet in this game comes to him in real life and saves him.
This pretty girl taught Ben to regain himself and let him die creatively. And this requires the help of his family, Ben began to open his heart to his family, and his family also supported him infinitely.
Perhaps Ben said "die" too many times, making it impossible for people to react when he threw himself into the sea and died.
His death attracted social attention, and many people held a memorial service for him, even the classmates who bullied him came.
Will Ben's death make them realize their mistakes?
That's not enough!
When the video of bullying Ben was played publicly at the memorial service and the media recorded everything, the young boys and girls really realized that their actions touched the bottom line of society.
But this is not the end, is this Ben's "creative death"?
Only when you see the end will you fully understand "leaving it to die and being reborn."
Throughout the film, it is the beautiful mage Scarlet who makes ben change, but the real story is not so beautiful.
Scarlet got on the train and left without returning, and the man who saved Ben was himself.
Scarlet as his spiritual pillar, although only his fantasy, but also his desire for life.
At this moment, it is like the two personalities in his heart are pulling at each other, and finally life triumphs over death, and he completes his self-redemption.
Begin to feel the beauty and happiness of the world, and begin to open your heart to your parents. At the same time, he also has an extra companion by his side, Scarlett, although in the eyes of others, Scarlett does not exist.
The word "care" is easier said than done, and sometimes even the passing line is not even reached, causing harm to the autistic group and calling it a "joke".
The "jokes" of young boys and girls can easily obliterate a person's life.
Making mistakes without knowing it can only rely on the moral and legal system of society to make them realize how sad.
And autism, how many people can really go into their hearts. They can only accept the world by awakening the love in their hearts on their own.
What we ordinary people can do is to take care of ourselves and not use so-called "jokes" to hurt them.
