Understanding "The Last Act"

In the last scene, after reading the book written by the old man, he was angry with his wife while eating with friends to vent his decadence, and when he returned home, he hugged his wife and said "I am sorry". This is the last scene when he chooses to try to use himself to experience those words and plagiarize that work, thus causing all kinds of lies to face later.
The choices that people will face will always come from the heart and cannot be changed in this situation. How many times the situation at that time is repeated, in the end I believe that the protagonist will still choose his original choice, but the difference is that he does not know the future. What will happen, what kind of uneasiness will I experience, and what kind of mental torment I will endure.
When the scene reappeared at the end of the film, what the protagonist experienced after that choice made him understand that there may be another choice after that "i am sorry", and what this choice will be in the end is anyone's guess It is unknown whether each person will have different imaginations inspired by their current life.
Life is like this, no one has the eyes of prophecy, all choices will have a price, and what the film wants to tell us is that since we have chosen, we must go on without hesitation. Life is different from books, and there is no turning back.

    The three stories, the stories within the stories, the stories themselves are very old-fashioned, but the old-fashioned stories are a bit more interesting. Zoe has a good temperament. Cooper's acting skills in this film are excellent, and the makeup artist is also very powerful. The uncle's transformation into Zhengtai is quite in place.

  • The Old Man: He found out sometime later that what she'd actually said was: "Pay your check and get the hell out of here". But who is he to question fate?

  • Clay Hammond: At some point, you have to choose between life and fiction. The two are very close, but they never actually touch.
