In this way, the metaphor ignited Barton's anger, and as a result, there was the peeling of the hotel's wallpaper due to the hot weather.
Coming to New York alone, but unable to write a word about the B-level script about wrestlers explained by the boss, he is unhappy and frowning, so at this time, another self-Charlie appeared. Charlie is a salesperson of an insurance company, and belongs to the most common and ordinary civilian role. Barton is also the best at writing literary works from ordinary people. In addition, every night, the humorous Charlie accompanies him to have a witty conversation, which makes Barton absolutely dependent on Charlie. Since then, Charlie is Barton's self.
Barton has two feelings for Audrey: the object of sexual fantasies and the destroyer of hope. When he came to New York, he was under tremendous script pressure. He was extremely depressed when he heard the love whispers of the next door, and naturally wanted to use ML to relieve the pressure. For Barton, Audrey was sex. Second, Barton has infinite admiration for Mayhew, believing that he is one of the greatest writers of the moment. It is a supreme honor to be able to have dinner with him. Unexpectedly, he learns that Mayhew has already exhausted his talents and most of his works are written by Audrey. At this time, Mayhew's glorious image in Barton's heart collapsed in an instant, falling directly into despair. Of course, he had no reason to resent Audrey, but the endless despair she brought him. How to send it?
Audrey's death played a decisive role in the development of the plot. At this time, Charlie represented Barton's dark side. He also had to rely on Charlie to help him clean up the scene and clear his inner distortions. In the end, he was brutal, furious, and hopeless. He became angry and became a murderous maniac, which means that Barton has been suppressed to the point of eruption of resistance, and the entire hotel was eventually swallowed up by fire, which is the image of Heat in this film.
In fact, the mosquito is the main image that drives the plot. It represents the use of literature and art by the entire capitalist society, the ruthless trampling of intellectuals to achieve the purpose of grabbing profits, and it also represents Barton's inner fear when faced with enormous pressure. Feeling helpless, he tried his best to avoid mosquito bites, but mosquitoes were still with him. He even tried to shoot them to death, but it led to a murder case.
In the wrestler's script, Barton wrote about a person wrestling with his own soul, and throughout this film, isn't it about a life-and-death struggle between Barton and himself? This is like a dream that he didn't dare to wake up from. In the dream, Barton met a beautiful woman on the beach, but he didn't know anything about the box he brought. It was like the future handed to him by fate. He didn't dare to guess or open it. dare not wake up.
