The male protagonist actually reflects the mentality of most ordinary people in the society - very eager to find true love, but struggling in the real human nature.
1. The male protagonist saw a girl at the first dance party in the hotel and invited her to dance with her, but the two had nothing in common, so there was no after. It's like we usually take the initiative to attack when we meet the person we like in the social field, but after chatting, we find that we can't talk together and give up.
2. The male protagonist doesn't like the biscuit girl who has repeatedly hinted to him. Well, think about it, under normal circumstances, many boys would not like that type.
3. Short-haired women are really attractive to male protagonists. In addition, there is not much time left to face the male protagonist. Finally, the male protagonist stops watching from afar, and tries to approach the short-haired female cheeky and create common ground. It's as if some boys like a cold goddess, and they will beg for a hot face and stick to their cold buttocks. The male protagonist here is extremely panicked every day, because he has to cover up the forged common ground (there are many such plots in the dog blood TV series). However, in the end, the contradictions accumulated. In the face of the extreme behavior and threats of the short-haired girl, the male protagonist finally killed the short-haired girl for self-protection.
Here, ordinary people's desire for love, but at the same time selfishness, timidity, and cowardice are all revealed. Aren't we just struggling and calculating? He kept saying that he was looking for true love, but when facing love, he was always calculating.
When the male protagonist escaped from the hotel and strayed into the singles camp, he met another woman whom he liked, and this woman was not as cold as short-haired women, and they had common features, which brought them closer the distance. They begin to fall in love uncontrollably. However, this behavior is not allowed in the singleton camp. When the heroine learned that she had been blinded, she yelled at the female leader, "Why are you blinding me, you can blind him" once again reflecting the selfish struggle of human nature. And when the heroine told the hero that he was blind, the inner entanglement of the hero was more vividly reflected: he kept asking the heroine various questions to find other common ground, accompanied the heroine to play the game of guessing things, and then did not have a few days. Reappear, and so on. In the end, the male protagonist chose to flee with the female protagonist and buried the female leader alive. Maybe it is a metaphor that this absurd system should be wiped out?
At last they escaped to the city, who knows the rest of the story, but what does it matter? Just think of Snow White and the prince, is their married life really happy? No way to know. It's not what the director wants to show us.
