Let's talk about the scene of killing a slut in an amusement park. The slut thinks that the killer is trying to seduce himself, 1. Make the originally nervous pursuit more humorous 2. Make it reasonable for the slut to relax his vigilance 3. There is a kind of "I love death" You strangle my hand" British irony. This movie makes glasses, trains, and merry-go-rounds change their meanings, making familiar scenes bizarre, which seems to be the commonality of many masterpieces
