When the male protagonist was frustrated because of his wife's betrayal, I thought he was about to embark on a wonderful adventure, but he ran upstairs and had a party; when he woke up after being in a hurry, I thought he was about to wake up He started to search for the meaning of life, but he went to fix prosthetics for others; when he was surprised by the slums of Lilliput, I thought he was going to dedicate himself to helping the weak, but he went on a trip; When the professor was on the boat discussing the end of the world and finally decided to dive underground, I thought he had finally found meaning in his life, but he rushed out and said he had found love. Finally, inexplicably, the entire film ends.

The conclusion is that I don't know what this director wants to say...
