The third episode is both true and false, like a dream, and people are stunned. In my opinion, let's assume that what Steven sees and says is true. So it's safe to think that Gerry had already died in a car accident, and Tom, who was extremely grief-stricken, had hallucinations about his deceased wife. Miguel, a homeless man whom he met by chance, seems crazy, but he is actually despicable and cunning. He seizes the opportunity to get close to Tom and establishes a friendship with him, but he also drags Tom into the endless abyss step by step. Tom lets himself go and does not go to work. , drinking and drowsiness all day long, messing up the room and himself, so much that he lived on unemployment benefits. However, Miguel gradually got on the right track by relying on Huili, who was exploited from Tom's home and body. It is ironic that the roles of the tramp and the gentleman are reversed. However, this is not a simple fable. The reappearance of the deceased wife in the dream is undoubtedly a great rescue for the decadent and incompetent Tom. When the camera turns, when I see Tom again, he has completely walked out of the haze of those bitter days. People are radiant, and the tramp MiG, who has become a sacrifice in Tom's process of regaining himself, perishes in the bathtub at home. I think this interpretation can be explained from the emotional line of Tom and Gerry, as well as the small movements of Miguel, and the perspective of the bystander Steven. If Gerry's death in a car accident was seen as a later event, then Tom's shock at the news is inexplicable. From this, the understanding that "MiG does not have such a person, but Tom is unwilling to work and the externalization of his depraved spirit" is also nonsense. The fourth episode is to borrow an absurd story to pinpoint social issues such as money worship, star effect, public welfare, and public interest distribution. It can be said to be enjoyable. Concealing the accident, covering the balloon with a quilt, blowing up two more balloons... These are all ridiculous, but to cover the man who still has one breath to death, the last layer of fig leaf is also ruthlessly removed: it turns out that in the face of interests, we know each other. Acquaintances can be more cruel than strangers. In the melodious singing, the purple balloon slowly rose into the air, ending the farce. It was the most orthodox and perfect ending.
