The male protagonist lives in his rented house, but he dare not make any noise at will. He obviously wants to drink coffee, but he can only drink hot cocoa every day, and he wants to smoke Lance, a Gaul, but he can only smoke what the boss gives each time. Marlboro, in the theater, he would be afraid of other people's eyes when he was making love with Stella. The male lead is such a weak and fearful man, he would give in to others again and again in order not to cause disputes.

The male host’s character makes him feel insecure. Even if the former host is dying, the female clothes in the room and the conversations of the neighbors will cause the male host to be uneasy. He likes this house, and he is afraid of losing it, even afterwards. The male protagonist will be enlarged by the neighbors who dared to leave, and the male protagonist will also distribute part of it to his door.

In the park, the children vent their emotions wantonly, but after the mother’s education, they stopped crying. In this regard, the male protagonist gave the child a slap. The child who was forced to suppress his true feelings was the male protagonist himself, so he slapped the child. Boy, precisely because he hates himself like this.

At the end, the male protagonist dressed in women's clothing (representing the male protagonist’s female character and is not aggressive) jumped down, while the neighbors on the opposite side just applauded and cheered. This also confirms the author’s attitude. Who is the guest to blame? ? Are they still heroes? ? Are we accommodating others who lose themselves or are they free to express their desires? ?

    Marginal people are struggling to obtain social recognition, but human selfishness, indifference, suspicion, and cold-blooded assimilation of foreigners, and if they arbitrarily alienate themselves, they will be forced to analyze themselves by social laws. Roman Polanski's horror genre is well-deserved, and it is just as handed down as the magical baby boy he's seen before, especially the long shot of the last fall from the building. - "Strange Tenant" 2011.4.1

    In Polanski's one-man show, Ajani became a dispensable vase. The technique is calm and sophisticated, but the plot is not enough to catch people, and the cause of the protagonist's tendency to collapse is not fully demonstrated.
