The plot and an interpretation

Plot and analysis:
A black child, a child with an Arab face, and a man (called A). They are conducting experiments and found that a kind of insect under the flower has the effect of controlling others. Insects also have the function of interpersonal communication. When the dark-skinned teenager said "No", he could foresee the reaction of the other child. Of course, they were all led by the man A, who also had A face of a Pakistani, they still appeared at the end of the film, they continued to look for blue flowers (flowers contaminated by insects) in pots but they never found them.

Next, the insects were used to deal with the victims, There are at least two victims in the film at this moment, one is KRIS and the other is a friend of a woman in the bar (called B). The worm is packed in a pill and handed over to the woman in the bar. (Guess, very Maybe JEFF was poisoned by this woman. Unfortunately, after JEFF and KRIS were together, the film shot was switched too fast. I didn't find a clue. Only when Kris guessed Jeff, he asked if Jeff was taking drugs...)
Kris was a family before the poisoning. The editing staff of the film company. After she got off work, she was caught by a man, here I think it is A. After corona, the bug was injected. The bug caused Kris to lose his self-awareness, and the man instructed Kris to copy the novel , and after copying a piece of paper, The paper was folded into a ring, and at the same time, he was instructed to play a game (it seems to be a kind of chess, with a chess board, and a round chess piece). During this period, man A only gave Kris a drink and cheated all of Kris's money. Finally, the man releases (no longer controls) Kris.
Kris feasted, and the bugs grew rapidly in her body. Kris tried to get the bugs after waking up, but they all failed, but left many wounds on her body.
(What's puzzled here is why Kris didn't go to the hospital to solve this problem. Of course she may still be lost, of course, the environment of the film is not equivalent to the real world)
Kris drove to find Collector C. Here, the collector anesthetized the piglet (the piglet’s mouth was covered with anesthetic gas, rather than some interpretations on the Internet as insects entering through the piglet’s mouth), and opened it on the piglet. The worm entered the piglet under the influence of the liquid and the sound that Kris drank. Inside the pig.
(I wonder how Kris found the collector, or how the collector found Kris. Some people answered that the collector used music to make Kris find him, but when the bug entered the piglet, I think it was at that time (The sound effect is to drive the bugs)
Kris further regained consciousness, which was manifested in her anxiety when she got home and the fear and caution when she entered the door. She dialed the phone, and it was obvious that the phone was down. She had nothing, was fired by the company, and she went bankrupt. Working as a female worker in a woven bag factory.
Next is the encounter, acquaintance, and love of Kris and Jeff.. I basically didn’t understand this paragraph. Jeff works in a big company, pours coffee for others, and prints documents for others. On the
farm The piglet where Kris's bug is located is pregnant. At this time, collector C showed a look of disgust. He blamed the piglet for destroying his fence. Kris and Jeff’s corresponding piglets discarded the piglets in the river. At the same time, Jeff went crazy at the company, and Kris was panicked.

During this period, there were scenes where collectors monitor the lives of the victims. One of the victims was a victim. Person D, there was a power outage at home, he was repairing it, and then he found a filter failure. He said that he would go out to buy something. Before going out, his wife said blessings to him. She was very tired. After going out, he said: " If it’s me, it will deal with the filter.” Later, her wife had an accident (maybe suicide). …” In this sentence, because I’m not familiar with Guilao’s life and home, what is the connection between the specific filter and derailment?)
(This is the longest time the collector monitors the victim, specifically what kind of mood or stunt is the collector? Please also tell someone who can understand it)
Unconsciously, Kris picks stones in the swimming pool and recites the novel Val The words and sentences in the lake. So Kris understood that this novel has a certain connection with him... and finally touched the flower in the pool, and at the same time felt the existence of the tree (tree or telephone pole?) at the entrance of the farm.
How did Kris find the collector? The collector played music to the pigs on the farm. Kris heard the sound at night. After finding the music created by the collector and combining the telegraph pole, Kris and Jeff found the collector. They killed the collector. Kris found all the victims’ information on the farm and sent them to them. Moved away and took good care of the piglets. The flowers were no longer contaminated, and Man A and the two teenagers could no longer find bugs
. -------------------------------------------------
Above It's just an understanding of the film's superficial logic, but what is its meaning? There are many clues, but it is difficult to connect them together... Of course, there are many interpretations.
For example, the people in the film can be divided into three categories: the perpetrators-man A and two children. Here you can try to think about the color and ethnicity of the children; ordinary people include the victims; collectors. The perpetrators are brutal The violent plunder of the victim, the victim’s fear of evil, or the evil’s harm to people, has produced a god-like collector. The collector controls the victim’s life with a master attitude. It can be understood from this. : Without sin, there is no savior. And in the film, the collector (God) is put to an end and sin is severed. It can be understood that God is the source of all evil. Then who is God in the real world? Is it the government? or Is it some seemingly bright doctrines and dreams? It controls people's lives, monitors people's lives, and even deprives people of their basic rights!!! Even deprives people of their basic rights!!! -----The film director really has a prophet Zhiming: Isn't there a Snowden report this year that the National Security Agency is monitoring the public. Of course, the man A and blue represent evil. In reality, Americans face the high crime rate of blacks and terrorism.
