Maybe the atmosphere of this film is a little depressive, and I just watched it during my tough time, it resonated in my heart somehow. To see that everyone who seems have a nice life struggles in his/her morasses, I felt it seemed natural that there were more or less tragedies in our life.
Can people deliver themselves alone? When an ordinary person feels abnormal or depressed, he/she is able to visit the psychoanalysts. However, if a shrink was in his worst time, how can he save himself?
The shrink was unable to come to grips with a recent personal tragedy. He lost his wife, who suicided herself(I don't why because it never told me), and from then on he turned into a chronic pot smoker who no longer cared about his personal appearance and had lost faith in his ability to help his patients.
But that's just what the first half part of the movie wants to tell you. The story unfolds as the film goes on, and everything turned better by time. That's probably why some people said this movie was no more than a commercial movie.
Whatever, I like it very much. It gives me hope, when I feel everything in my life seems to go not a bit smoothly. Don't watch it through colors. Psychology is something that should bring people hopes to live, not depressions.
You know that everything will be better. The only thing you are not sure is when it will happen, but change is waiting for you around the next corner. That's enough.
"It's never gone away, is it?"
"No...But we're still here. That's something."
