"This house was made by me" - the other side of the mirror

A niche movie last year turned out to be a movie staring into the abyss.

The film begins with a dialogue between a middle-aged man and an older man, and runs through the serial murder of the middle-aged man. The director does not stand in the perspective of justice or evil of the consistent victims, but through the narration dialogue to express the process of constantly falling into the abyss of sin until hell.

The man is an engineer, obsessive-compulsive, and demanding about things. On a drive, he met a man with broken thoughts, and he got angry for a while and killed and thrown the corpse in anger. Since then, he has used the freezing room as a morgue and started non-stop murder.

Men are very rational people, they cannot empathize, they just follow the order they make. As described in the movie, like a person walking into a continuous street lamp, the lamp of moral justice and the shadow of evil around him are constantly torn and contested. Killing, rejoicing, then suffering from sin, then accumulating resentment, then continuing to kill to vent...

Men don't have high IQs like the male protagonist of "Killing Classroom", and they trample their lives on their feet without humanity. He just met a woman who likes to ridicule, shattered the peaceful humanity he was trying to maintain, and then the humanity gradually lost, and the cold sense of order gradually became the whole of his life. He began to despise those foolish women, disgusted that they are timid, weak and unreasonable, and order can only be maintained by eliminating them.

So in the end, until the lights above his head were getting dimmer, he was covered in darkness, and then killing ended up being a massacre experiment. - that is, build your own house. The land is his own, using the hardest and most perishable materials, this is his most perfect art, the art of death and decay.

At this time, Satan came, sat upright, quietly asked for advice, led him through the dark passage, and reached hell, showing his green face and fangs, tempting moths to fly into the fire. In the story, he was buried in the sea of ​​fire, but in reality he will always exist in hell, unable to return to the world.
