Not so straightforward political satire on the surface

In fact, it is not so straightforward. The so-called obvious political irony is the background, the decoration, and the flesh. The skeleton carefully designed by the director is: from setting up the scene to destroying the scene, to sending tapes to buy a tie, and finally to confessing to colleagues and leaders after interrogating the revolutionary students, it is an increasingly crazily temptation. Although the killing game played with the lover is exciting, it is fake after all. The really exciting game starts after the real killing. My lover, my power makes me hard, and the revolutionary students stepped in and the lover pierced my pain and made me angry. If I want to prove my hardship, I would really kill and repeatedly test the boundaries of my power: effective for colleagues, effective for journalists, yes The plumber was effective until it was ineffective against the revolutionary students' rivals, and then the most craziest trial was written and confessed. However, the director showed this climax in a dream-an absurd scene (not reality). What will be the reality? Let the audience guess based on their own absurdity of reality.
