At the end of the incident, I went back to the part where he was drinking coffee in the first part of the film. After drinking coffee, he punched at the window. I think the whole film is actually a story that he imagined during the interval when he was drinking coffee. Punching at the window reflects his feelings towards himself. The imaginary story is exciting. I think the director wants to express the multi-faceted nature of human character. There is one aspect of external expression, and another aspect of internal expression. Before killing his boss, he said that he had been a dog for the boss for 7 years, but he ended up like this. In fact, he expressed his dissatisfaction with his current situation through an imaginary story. The director used a violent and extroverted method to Express a witty and repressed heart.
