Regarding ideals: what is the self-worth that everyone is talking about? Paul's original dream was to be a surgeon and later a factory physiotherapist. In the end, he arrived in the "little man" country and became an operator and cleaner. I always feel that I have not realized my value, and I also feel that I can save mankind and the world in the end. However, in the end, only what Dusan said, I told you nothing ever works out for this guy.
About love: Two relationships, the first one is considered to be unshakable with others. In fact, they are just trying to please each other. In the end, they are defeated by the selfishness of "lover" or "self". What you think you think is not what you think. The essence of the latter relationship has not changed. In fact, the final choice is not "love fuck", but self. Love, in front of oneself, is really too small.
There are many details in the film that are thought-provoking. Reminds me of the movie "The Truman World"
