Is the second episode any good?

Characters are incomplete and out of touch with life. On the one hand, the protagonist has a strong desire to survive trying to get out of the quagmire (participating in a mutual aid meeting at the beginning of the film, and listening to a comforting and guiding audio in the car), on the other hand, he is radical enough to kidnap hostages to achieve his goal. I don't know the level of IQ, but the low EQ and poor ability to withstand pressure are quite clear. But this contrast is inexplicable, blunt, reasonable and unreasonable. As a viewer, it's hard for me to understand how the characters' emotions build up to that level. In addition, the protagonist is cowardly, afraid to face the fact that he is driving and playing with his mobile phone, dare not admit to his family and society that he is the perpetrator rather than the victim, and is cowardly to go to the software developer to vent his cowardice - I have seen a lot Most of the top reviews agree that the film aims to criticize the impact of social software companies and technology on people. However, the second episode is so arranged and portrayed in such a way that the focus is actually on the "person" of the protagonist?

If the film is used as a traffic warning short film or a case of improving emotional intelligence and stress resistance, I think it is fine. If it carries the banner of depicting human problems under technology, I can hardly agree that this is a good film.

Think so much for a while.
