When I saw it, I wondered why the film said such a story that is a little funny and absurd, a little black humor, and a little fantasy. Regarding the teapot's feature that you have to see people's pain in order to pay, it faintly makes people feel that this anti-fairy tale feature is very subtle and cleverly designed. If it is the happiness of people that brings money, then good things will be paired, and the more the better, the twists and turns and the meaning of speaking will be lost. It is necessary for people to obtain money and material enjoyment from pain and then to make up for their pain and sacrifice, even the pain of others, the meaning slowly comes out.
People usually lose time and freedom, and sell their physical and mental power to obtain money and material to maintain their lives. This is also a transaction in a disguised balance of pain and gains. But if you become a rich or powerful person, you can even get your own money and material by making others suffer (work for you or make money from them). The process is similar. You first abuse yourself, and then you understand it. In fact, abuse can be done to the extreme, and the money will come faster and easier. Just like the brass teapot in the movie. Until the end, some people persisted and felt that they were doing the right thing. For example, the film said that there are farmers, generals, and people of all colors holding Huangtong teapots to gain their own benefits by hurting others. But at the same time, people often start from self-abuse, and then vigorously refute that I started from scratch, have suffered more than others, and have gone through a harder road than others, to get to where I am today and become a successful person. For example, chaebols, politicians, and generals can command others and use their pain to seek their own benefits. Finally succeeded.
This may be the reason why the film designed the brass teapot in this way.
Think about it conversely. The so-called successful people are those who hold the Huangtong teapot in their hands and refuse to give it to others. However, after most people have obtained the essentials of Huangtong teapot, it is difficult to let go. Those who are able to let go, such as heroes and heroines, will also say that they are not enough to be outsiders, and they are happy and relaxed. Just like the end of the film, they drive back to the small car and continue to live with the baby.
