You can take a look at the interview with the director in the Gao Zan comments. The confused director made the confused movie. At the end, the audience has all kinds of questions. The director himself can't figure it out, and you don't have to interpret it too much.

The plot seems to be thinking in layers, but it is actually bland and tasteless. The empty main line is even more speechless, and the whole film is tired.

The only score is for the picture, it is still calm and stable, the whole film is not tired, but my heart is not fluctuating, and I even want to laugh a little.
