Although I'm talking about death, it has nothing to do with death

I think watching this movie requires some creative experience. Because the movie involves three issues:

1. Does a character's existence mean only to provide a plot? The role is to the work as the person is to the world. Because literary works are simulations and reflections of the real world. What is the significance of death as a "negation" of a character?

2. If a plot exists, does its meaning only lie in providing rhetoric? The plot is to the work as the metaphor is to the sentence. And metaphors are rhetoric to explain meaning, so the function of plot is also the same. Death as a plot, what rhetoric is it to elaborate?

3. Does a narrative exist, does its meaning only lie in establishing a connection? Narration is the bearing of history, the reproduction of events, and the medium of information transmission. The subject is human, and the object is human. Its subject is a role, and its object is also a role. As a kind of narrative, death is establishing what and what, what kind of connection?

    Can it be regarded as the British version of Berlin Sky and Parnassus?

    Gary Oldman and Tim Roth's lines are very good. It's a ridiculous comedy, but it's really just a drama.

    Rosencrantz: I've frequently not been on boats.
