Metaphors in Omnipotence

Although Luohan is invisible, he is the most powerful person, which comes first from the justice of his actions, and secondly from his courage and resourcefulness. After his wife hanged herself, he said that all living beings are blind, which is actually a metaphor for the acquisition of a sense of justice. The director and the congressmen all bent the law for their own sake, but the blind Luohan carried out a near-perfect revenge. This is the "uncoveredness" of the truth, and this is the true "seeing" of the world. Compared with sighted people, sound is another weapon for blind people. Luohan is a voice actor who can imitate various voices, and he also has a keen sense of smell. He uses his voice to provoke relations between all parties, which makes the characters who are able-bodied but have different ideas in their hearts, and it can be said that they happen to be caught in the trick of phonetic centrism. As for the audio-visual language of the whole film, it makes the audience feel the ingenious plot and the ability of the protagonist. On the other hand, we can also see that as a marginalized group of blind people, they have to rely on other organs to supplement their experience, and Luohan’s voice-changing skills also imply that after being marginalized, they can only change their roles to gain a foothold in society. It laid the groundwork for it to change from tenderness and romance to a tough guy. The water in the water and rope pieces appeared three times, the first time it was thrown off the beach by police, and the sea washed evidence on Sue's body. This is where the water became the police's "accomplice", and the second time was when Su washed her body after returning home. This is the most common behavior of rape victims. They think they are dirty, but washing their bodies can cleanse themselves. But the most ironic thing is that it is the water that makes it suffer, and justice cannot be served. And the third time, Luo Han sprinkled his ashes, but this is just a symbol of washing away the filth, and this justice is not obtained by water, but by actions. The ropes are also contrasted before and after, Sue committed suicide by hanging himself with the ropes. And one of the perpetrators was "hanged", in fact, Luohan left him, which is similar to hanging, while the younger brother of the congressman was tied up with ropes and finally killed by the congressman "by himself". A kind of reincarnation is shown here, and it is the rope that acts as a flowing subject in the entire play structure, and finally saves Luohan on the construction site. In fact, this is his self-taught, the rope has changed from a revenge tool to an existence that saves Luohan, and it also implies that his revenge is redemption. The law here is also the greatest irony of the law, the lawmakers and the law enforcers jointly break the law. The legislator cannot openly break the law, so he uses power and money to cover up his own people, and he is the patron saint of the law at night. And Luohan no longer takes the so-called legal path, because he knows that the rule of law is only to ensure order and stability, and it is a guise of justice. Murder methods also make paper law unable to help him. So he said, "The law of your world is darker." But, "I will make you speechless." So the law of the night depends on the law of the light, but this night law also means the breakdown of the symbolic order Bad, no one here can give you a ticket. The class Rohan and Su are employed, while Wasim and Amit, who are the family of the propertied and state bureaucrats, are the powerful ones, and rape is the symbol of their power, and the police are at will Imprisoning and arresting people also reflects that the sovereign's governance is not in accordance with the law, and under its threat all people are naked lives. When Amit committed violence for the second time, he once said: "I come to visit every day." To end with a sentence of Marx, it is the bourgeoisie's public wife system and the proletariat's prostitution and forced living alone. ps: The male protagonist has six fingers. This is a simile of his "ability", but it is born by the actor, or there are other deeper metaphors, which I don't understand. In addition, compared to "A Mother's Revenge", this film does not have the familiar line of subtitles at the end, (the perpetrator turns himself in or is arrested), which is also very gratifying.
