In the adult world, it is inevitable that there will be bitterness and even suffering.

The key is to find an exit so that the trapped soul can be freed and the haze in the heart can be driven away.

This outlet may be crying painfully, focusing on a job, or meeting a friend who is sick with the same disease.

Yes, but it's important that you have this exit.

When you find it, you can regain your freedom and live more courageously.

In the American drama "The Whimsy of Guillermo del Toro", there is a story of finding an outlet for depression.

The heroine is a woman living in misery, and as an ornithologist, her scientific research is all overshadowed by her female identity, and the credit goes to her husband - fortunately, her husband is considerate.

As a mother, her child died in infancy, and she did not shed a single tear because she was too sad to shed a tear.

As a wife, she has not been intimate with her husband for many years, and the gap between the two has become more and more estranged.

She is like the bird in the film who is trapped in the house, and the last head is killed, and every road of life is blocked.

This distressed woman finally found her exit, a woman who shared her sickness.

To study bird flight, she and her husband moved to an island and moved into an old house.

There are wronged spirits in this house, creating movements every day and disturbing her peace.

Later, she learned that it was a woman who had died many years ago, she had given birth to a husband with a wife, and she thought that the man would come to her, who knew that he would never come again.

Women of that era, who had no ability to live freely, drowned her children in desperation and then committed suicide by jumping off the building.

The heroine, who has not shed tears for many years, finally shed tears for the poor mother and son.

And when she walked out of the house, the flock of birds was like a gust of wind, blowing through her body.

Her soul was like the trapped bird, finally flying out the window and regaining her freedom.

At the beginning of the story, Toro tells us that in some ancient beliefs, birds transmit human souls, beliefs, and hopes to the gods of heaven.

So, what faith did the flock of birds take away from her?

I think it is a kind of courage to carry suffering and continue to move forward, a courage to dare to live and love, a hope that life will get better and better.

This scene of "flock of birds whisking" is so beautiful! As the final climax of this American drama, it draws a perfect end to the oppressive, terrifying, and desperate atmosphere in those previous stories.
