I don't like the ending of this movie, it's clear enough to suggest, but still very entangled. In short, there is no excuse for giving the audience a "dead tone". My focus on this film is not more about the unsustainable fate of "the sea of suffering is boundless and turning back to the shore", but the intricate relationships between people, these are things that can directly affect and change life.
Regarding Jack's suicide, I really don't support it. Covering up and escaping can be a temporary means of protection for life, but not life itself. Terry encouraged him to live, encouraged him to love, gave him praise, and recognized him to face up to his wrong behavior, but Terry never even faced this cowardly and fearful adult like a baby who just cut the umbilical cord from his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have faked his identity and taught him to keep secrets so that there were only two poor people on his phone.
It's not that just saying the word "face up" is to face up. Facing up should be an approval in a broad sense, not just what you say. You must have the courage to accept the evaluation of the outside world, no matter how good or bad. Terry's teachings to him never really hit the ground running. This is just the self-righteousness of a person who does not even cherish his own children about education. If he was noble enough, he wouldn't even be able to change his own son.
And sadly, Michelle, Chris, and Boss are still the same "wolf-hearted" in the end. They've all questioned Jack uncomfortably. "Do you love me", "Are you sincere enough with me", "We won't... because of your past." In fact, he never really believed in Jack's innocence from beginning to end. Even Michelle. at best played a silent role at the end, neither slandering nor believing. These are the places where Jack will be crushed directly.
Several of the film's assumptions are very powerful. One is about Phillip. Hanged by a pagan. One is about Michelle on the last deck saying "Fuck. You've conquered me again", but things are always unexpected.
He was doomed to be alone. Phillip is his only friend, protects him, and gets along well. So two people can tacitly agree to do anything. He tried hard to convince himself that Phillip was murdered because he couldn't accept that a person who had given him so much power would eventually be destroyed by himself, which was more powerless and hopeless than his being cut with a thousand cuts. It's easier to understand Michelle's fantasies, even if it's just an unreliable feeling at first. But in the end, the paper really can't keep the fire.
Finally, I would like to praise ZEB's sub-line of destroying secrets and the superb acting skills of the male lead. That terrified smile will never be forgotten.
