A methodical lunatic

The role of De Niro and the protagonist of Martin's film on Closed Island are very similar to Qu. Why do you say that, the behavior of the protagonist in the movie is very contradictory. Specifically in 3 examples
1, whether the protagonist’s mother died or not
. The first time the protagonist dreamed about talking with the host Jerry at home, during which time his mother yelled, asking who he was talking to, which interrupted the protagonist’s fantasy .
When the protagonist was making the tape for the second time, his mother yelled again that everyone was asleep and told him not to speak so loudly and interrupted the protagonist's recording again.
In the protagonist's talk show, he said that if his mother came to the scene, he would be surprised because her mother had been dead for 9 years.
This is inconsistent. If his mother is not dead, then he is only joking on the talk show. But why didn't the protagonist's mother appear in the movie from beginning to end?
If his mother has been dead for 9 years, then his mother's voice comes from his subconscious imagination, and his mother's behavior is to interrupt what the protagonist is doing.
2 What exactly was recorded on that tape?
If the mother's existence is the subconscious behavior of the protagonist. So what happened during the recording.
According to the personal secretary of the host Jerry, I have heard this tape with Jerry, and it is generally okay, and some lines need to be revised. When the protagonist asked the specific lines, the secretary couldn't tell. This shows that they have never heard of this tape. After that, the protagonist took the actress and the tape to Jerry’s villa, and Jerry’s behavior also indicated that he had never heard of the tape.
What exactly is recorded on this tape, is it the protagonist’s talk show practice, or is it not recorded at all? There is no way to know this.
3 The autograph book of the protagonist When the
movie started, the protagonist and a group of fans waited for the host Jerry to come out outside the theater and asked for an autograph. Two people knew the protagonist and asked him if he wanted someone else's signature. The protagonist said that this is not the whole of my life, and denied that he was here to sign. When the protagonist was having a meal with a woman he liked, he took out his autograph book, which contained all kinds of celebrity autographs.
Let's talk about another woman in this play, the protagonist kidnapped Jerry's accomplice, this woman is a fan of the brain, completely mentally ill. When she stopped the protagonist outside the building where Jerry worked, she said in an inexplicable conversation that she had known the protagonist before and bought coffee for the protagonist, and the protagonist also replied that he had given her a collection of Jerry. And two inexplicable people finally completed a transaction.
Seeing this, it is basically certain that the protagonist is not a normal person who wants to be the king of comedy. It's a mental illness who wants to be the king of comedy. . . .

    The 2019.11 Reboot may be Martin's scariest movie. De Niro hallucinated laughing at the photo wall and the ending of fame was like a ghost movie.

    Zhou Xingchi's work of the same name is still a reference to this one. The film adopts a sardonic tone, criticizing and mocking the field of American TV and film in the last century. A rather bizarre event, a bitter interpretation experience. It is more like a violent accusation against the solidification of the class to be the king of the night than to be a boring person for a lifetime, and the popularity after being released from prison is also an irony. The characters in Martin's works are all unique and distinct. In general, this film is similar to a taxi driver to a certain extent. The evolution of the characters is very solid and helpless, and has a strong psychological motivation.
