The climax of the whole play is in the dialogue between the two policemen. Chris also understands that if justice really exists in the world, he deserves it. The careless analysis of the case by the two policemen is a challenge to the existence of "justice". , the so-called "luck" here comes from Chris's deep understanding of the corruption of this world, and can only rely on "luck" to test whether there are still people who will fight for justice. On the one hand of Match Point, Chris escaped sanctions and the society was hopeless. On the other hand of Match Point, Chris was arrested and the justice of society was eternal. The so-called "luck" is also an irony. The root of the ending points to the butterfly effect of human corruption: clinging to the upper class, having an affair, breaking up to find the right person, drug criminals taking the ring... These seemingly unrelated things have created The end of this story.
