In a word, the male protagonist of the waste firewood Maozi accidentally became a hero after being forced to go to the battlefield. He married the widow of Qingmei as he wished. During the Russo-French War, the couple failed to assassinate Napoleon and the male protagonist was shot to death.

Welcome to Woody Allen's Dostoevsky wording game——
"Remember Raskolnikov, the boy next door ("Crime and Punishment")? He killed two women. Bobby heard about it from "Brother Karamazov."
"He must have been possessed by "Ghost"."
"He is just a "boy"."
"A raw youth? He is an "idiot"."
"He pretended to be "Insulted and Damaged"."
"I heard he is a "Gambler"."
Not to mention Eisenstein's "Battleship Potemkin", Eliot's "The Wasteland", Tolstoy "War and Peace", Bergman "The Seventh Seal" "Mask", Mozart's "Magic Flute", S Binoza's "Ethics", Socrates' quotations Plato's "The Meeting Drink", the same-sex society in ancient Greece, syllogism, existentialism, Tuo was pardoned by the Tsar at the last moment before execution, it is said that there is Chaplin? And I didn't see more.
Some lines are also very interesting, such as Sonja's 3ual theory and love&suffer theory, Boris's monologue before death, etc.
