2. The protagonist of the so-called "bad police" is a carrier of division. On the one hand, he has a longing for his family, and his illusion of returning to his wife and children is the remnant dependence on "stability", which is industrial civilization (modernization). Period) or the genetic remnants of the pre-industrial era; on the other hand, his daily behaviors are constantly breaking through the boundaries of social morality. Drugs, alcohol, and sex have become necessities in a certain sense for him, even if it is no longer possible. It brings him pleasure, but these are his escape channels from real life. This part is the endorsement of people's search for existential value and spiritual direction in the post-modern world.
3. The colleagues around him all have different and typical characteristics of various syndromes. Dreaming of becoming the boss of a Hollywood screenwriter, a policewoman who is dedicated to dressing up as a motivated young man, an urban hipster man with ambiguous sexuality, a retired person who is stuck in the illusion of the old school era, and a seemingly unruly person who turns and becomes a successful promotion. The ulterior motives. Everyone’s urban diseases are traps that people try to escape but fall into them unconsciously. The film satirically described these symptoms as the personality traits of everyone, and there was a deep sadness behind the black humor.
4. Several female characters in the movie are very interesting. The wife in the "bad police" fantasy and memories is fascinating and ghostly, but she in the home video and the one who eventually meets in the supermarket are both homely and boring. The image of a desperate housewife is added Sexy and imaginative re-creation has produced a temperament of division and despair; the woman who keeps receiving harassing calls is a symbol wrapped in high materiality and bad taste. She is stuck in the room with flamboyant makeup and beautiful clothes. , The material desire around her was originally a symbol of freedom in the context of consumerism, but her hint of staying at home has a taste of imprisonment; the widow’s mother and son always regard the “bad police” as a benefactor, and this reality superimposes Because of the loss of the husband/father's background, sexual ambiguity arises in the middle. From this perspective, the mother and son are a substitute and filling for the "bad police" fantasy family in reality.
5. One of the few truly kind people in the movie is the timid and cautious businessman and trade union funder. He is cowardly and weak, but he has only hurt himself but never hurt others. The "sin" of arrogance, arrogance, rage, lust, greed, etc., is nowhere to be seen in him. This person showed a trace of compassion from the author.
6. The "bad police" has always had a frustration in his heart, and he is inseparable from the accidental death of his younger brother. All his frantic behavior seems to be looking for an outlet for this sin. In fact, in a sense, this is a failure of the work. Such a movie should not set such a clear direct cause of the protagonist’s mental distress.
7. The "visions" in the movie are full of metaphors. Those human faces suddenly become pig heads, sheep, elephants, etc. In addition to being the hallucinations of the protagonist, they also symbolize everyone’s inner character, the filth and chaos of pigs, the weakness and lightness of sheep, and the elephant’s Bulkiness and strength and so on. And the psychologist who diagnoses and treats the "bad police" is a standard mad doctor image. The microbial image behind him has a big mouth that can swallow people, a soft body, and squirming tentacles. This itself is a projection of postmodern society-no A fierce beast on the surface, but with a soft body, it can also have the ability to swallow everything, and it is even more disgusting.
8. At the end of the story, he almost embarked on the way of the drama, but was eventually dragged back. The actor spoke to the camera sincere words that he had never had in his life, and his words partially reshaped the personality of the timid businessman. The widow, mother and child are a kind of salvation, but in the end they become a fleeting figure. For the male protagonist, at first, death was his active choice. Such a choice requires a clear consciousness and even a path to dignity. He puts on a uniform and tidies up as a symbol. And he chose to use the scarf given to him by the widow as a tool for suicide, which in itself was an irony, but the token helped death. As a lost creature in the post-modern society, if he walks toward death soberly, it means that he has found a way of salvation. So in this movie, this is an impossible paradox. Therefore, in the end, his death is designed as With funny, sad and doomed accidents.
