This is just a fable, and it doesn't burn the brain. After reading a lot of movie reviews, I was very disappointed. It was just for the sake of burning the brain, and the final result could only be burnt. First of all, to clarify the point of view, these characters are real, not some madhouse fantasy, the director is to express his point of view through a magical and bizarre story. Story content: In order to take back the big boss, the protagonist came from Wall Street to a sanatorium in Switzerland and experienced a series of bizarre incidents.
Myth #1: Wall Street is a nursing home. In the opening scene, the outstanding employees worked hard, worked late at night, were finally drained, and fell to the ground after drinking water. Capital absorbs the blood of countless such employees all over the world, and employees are unaware, until the last moment of life, they still enjoy the illusion of a sense of achievement in life. Similarly, in sanatoriums, the so-called management team of medical staff can continue to live for 200 years by pouring eels into the patient's mouth and extracting the essence of the human body. There is no use value, throw it into the pond to feed the eels. On Wall Street, employees follow one after another, nourishing capitalists while enjoying a sense of achievement; in nursing homes, patients also follow one another, nourishing the so-called management. With such a basic understanding, the film is easier to understand.
Point 2: About the death of the mother. The mother died and was cremated before the protagonist left for Switzerland. The scene that flashed at the moment of the protagonist's car accident was just that the director responded to his mother's words "you won't come back" in order to explain the matter, and also prompted the follow-up plot to increase the sense of mystery.
Viewpoint 3: The protagonist's teeth problem. The protagonist's teeth fell out, and then he was trapped and got his front teeth out, but when the protagonist gave up his resistance and believed the lie of the management, the teeth were restored. Did the tooth fall out? Lost, and was abused to lose his teeth because of resistance. Did the tooth really recover? Really recovered, when I gave up resistance, integrated into the surrounding group, and enjoyed the current state, the teeth recovered. Teeth are only a portrayal and direct reflection of the protagonist's heart, and the director uses it to explain the protagonist's mental state.
Point 4: The weird smile at the end. This is actually very simple. The revolutionary martyrs once wrote a poem, life is precious, and love is more expensive. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away. When all living beings are still working for "Wall Street" and "Sanatorium", the protagonists of love (Hannah), life (potion), and freedom (escape from the nursing home, Wall Street, and get the liberation of human nature) all have it at the same time, life is already like this, husband What's more, it's no exaggeration to laugh so strangely, I think that's what the director wants to express.
