I wouldn´t say he is or became insane, he was just to fed up with a corrupt system that never got him and his honesty squat. I´d say he has a somewhat autistic personallity, I myself have Asperger Syndrome and really identify with this character in the way that I think it´s really wrong to lie, and I can´t stress that enough. I had a job as a internet tech support once, and my bosses told us to lie all the time to the customers in case if a mailserver went down or some other malfunction on the companies behalf. And to me it was really hard, to sit there and lie to people, in my opinion there is no good lies.
A person with asperger have generally a difficulty to follow social rules, like being blunt/honest instead of saying socially "correct" things like white lies.
Well, I think what this movie illestrates is a man that did everything right and everyone takes him for granted, he is a doormat. No one really cares about him. Only his youngest child seemed interested to be in the picture he took. It´s a sad story and it´s a masterpiece imo. I hope alot of people get to se it, and I hope it has the same impact as it had on me.
