"Things exist, those who do not exist do not exist" - Parmenides

Main line: Photographer A, whose job is to create illusions, took pictures of dead bodies and witnessed them on the spot in the process of chasing aesthetic pleasures. He felt the real gap, and constantly confirmed the existence of dead bodies by re-shooting, enlarging and developing photos, during which many miscellaneous disturbances continued to occur. A's actions, and finally A believed the existence of the dead body, but because the photos were too blurry and the disappearance of the body at the scene could not be confirmed to others, A told others, but no one cared whether the dead body existed.

A caught his wife sleeping with the painter, and looked at his wife. The guilt in his wife's eyes and the impact this matter should have on him is [not existing] for A, he can't feel it and doesn't care, the corpse is [existence]. Everyone was informed about the existence of the dead body, but after no one cared, A came to the Live house and followed the crowd to snatch the headstock thrown by the guitarist. After grabbing the headstock, it was indeed thrown on the side of the road, and passersby picked it up and took a look throw away. This is after A thinks that he [exists], but is regarded as [non-existence] in the eyes of others. A tried to chase other people's [existence], and indeed felt [absence] from it, passers-by regarded the headstock as [absence]

In the final Tennis match of the gods, the white-faced man (I understand it as PUNK KIDS) played a very real tennis match without tennis and rackets. After playing the ball, PK asked A to pick it up [no The tennis that exists], A threw the tennis ball that does not exist as the tennis ball of [existence], and the game continued. The male protagonist who had doubts seemed to really hear the [existence] of tennis. A saw sadness in his eyes.

What does not exist is regarded as existence, we sing for the existence that does not exist, "We walked backwards say nothing run for visions at all", the existence we chase is regarded as non-existence by others.

Why is A sad, maybe A sees that we can never understand each other, maybe A sees the nothingness of [existence and non-existence] itself. Conclusion: Everyone is an idiot.
