why so serious?

The protagonist Bu Lusi is a corrupt and despicable policeman who is keen on drinking and taking drugs to threaten the good people. However, in fact, in the small garden in Xiaobu's heart, he always believed that when he was promoted to inspector and became famous, his wife and daughter who left him would come back to him, so he used all kinds of tactics to slander, differentiate and slander him to secretly attack him. competitor.

Then halfway through the performance, the audience gradually realized that something was wrong with Buluoxi. He began to see ghosts from time to time. In a blink of an eye in the mirror, he found that his reflection had turned into a pig's head, or when he glanced at other colleagues, he saw hideous-looking animals. A rotting little boy looked at him resentfully, like Bruce Willie in the supernatural sixth sense.

In this way, with the failure of promotion, the reality of Bulu slowly began to disintegrate, and finally the audience will gradually discover that Bulu is a neurotic at all. In fact, the whole movie is neurotic, and every character is abnormal. , each character seems to be full of depression and pain, but the performance is a kind of disgusting and crazy banter.

It must be mentioned that this script is adapted from the same author as "Trainspotting", so the tenor of decadence is quite similar. Although the dog has never been particularly fond of this kind of cult film and B film, but this film has not gone as far as "old boy", most of which are closer to the nonsensical version of the heavy-mouthed version, and it is only at the back that it really makes sense. Canine is dumbfounded at Professor X (see other spoilers).

Having said that, James is really a good actor. He is very good at playing this character with inner conflict and obvious mania and split personality. He is very precise and restrained in retracting and controlling. It's like a cartoon character (Jim Carrey), or even acting tragic, you have to be handsome. It seems that you always peek at the camera from the corner of your eye and think OS: Are you looking at me (Atang bro....). Many emotional passages are just right, and it makes this character more love-hate, but not too sympathetic, but more understood from his perspective, the crazy reality is not as imagined, It needs to be taken so seriously.

On the contrary, reality is reality. Those regrets in the past, as well as all kinds of painful experiences, or things that we think we can't get through at the moment, will become a very neutral thing and coexist with us. Sometimes we can look at them coldly, sometimes we see ourselves as the most obscene and nasty joke, sometimes we feel lonely, but that doesn't affect anything.

Reality, like the experience of each of us, is actually not sad in itself.
