The film begins at the zoo, where a fleet of caged leopards is where Carl and his wife first meet, which is mentioned several times in the film. Tigers, pythons, rhinos, crocodiles, elephants, orangutans, lions, animals imprisoned in various zoos The pictures of Carl's family of four walking around in the zoo and watching the cross-montage of pictures showed the film's imagination from the very beginning And the impactful image style, and such dazzling lens language and editing methods are more and more breathtaking. Through what Carl said to his wife when they revisited the zoo, we know that the dowry given by his wife's family when they got married provided a great help to Carl's life and work, and his wife's mother and aunt also provided Carl a lot of help. , they have a 16-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter. Carr, who has repeatedly stressed that he is not giving and contributing enough to his wife and family, has now hired a new employee to expand his crematorium business in order to increase his income and give his family a better life. At the gala dinner, Carr gave a religious speech in which he repeated the words of a book on Tibet: We must kill the evil of suffering, or at least alleviate it, and the sooner man turns to ashes the faster he becomes free , reincarnation, rebirth. This quote both promotes his crematorium business and demonstrates his near-mad belief that within 75 minutes, the dead can be burned to ashes, but the soul can float into the air and into heaven. Carl is an anti-Semitic and an extremist who is extremely obsessed with death, so he is extremely dangerous and extremely narcissistic.... In the film, he is constantly given close-ups of his face, many wide-angle shots and The first-person subjective sports lens not only shows the darkness and depression, but also enriches the language of the film lens. The blurry eyes and the weird smile that he always maintains make people unable to see his heart but creepy. Carr appears to be an innate danger with no empathy, an elusive social time bomb.

The transition from the dinner party to the home uses Carl's face as a transitional image, which was so creative and imaginative at that time. Carl turned to scan the room as he prepared to hang the picture on the wall, and then a series of subjective shots of Carl standing in various areas of the room with the picture frame amazed my eyes again. Various stream-of-consciousness editing methods and transitions are dizzying and gorgeous. Karl's friends admired Hitler and believed that Hitler was a political genius who solved the problems of poverty and unemployment in Germany. In the face of Hitler fanatics, Karl's wife said that her children would go to Czech schools. Karl said that he could only speak Czech. Carefully taking a stand, but after friends leave, Carl asks his son to learn German. Carl took people to visit his crematorium. He continued to promote the idea of ​​ossification and ashes, and the ascension of the soul. In the gloomy crematorium, he smiled and walked lightly, and opened a coffin to show the heroine inside. Every moment he was dying in excitement. He preached to his family and guests the sanctity of cremation, the redemption of souls, a kind of humanism at the dinner table, with eyes full of greed for death. The rotting face of the woman, the corpse of the woman lying in the coffin, the coffin pushing into the incinerator, all kinds of pictures showing death flashed like a slideshow as Carl spoke, his mind was already filled with death. Carl took his son to watch a boxing match, but he always stressed that he was not interested in boxing and this kind of violent match. It is true that most of the time he is gentle and mild-mannered, but under the calm surface, it is the mental violence factor that overturns the river. . At Christmas, Carl said to his wife what would happen if I hung you on the Christmas tree, and then the next scene was the scene of the fish out of the water opening its mouth and breathing hard. This classic montage also foreshadowed the final outcome. His anti-Semitic friends kept feeding him racist ideas that Jews were a misguided people who needed to be rescued and helped. Under the influence of his own eyes and ears, he completely became a practitioner of anti-Semitism, proudly performing the Nazi salute, and he combined his fascination with death, religious beliefs and racism into a horrible self-proclaimed Buddha. killer. When he learned at a banquet organized by anti-Semites that his wife was of Jewish ancestry, he hanged his wife in the toilet. And this paragraph describing his murder of his wife is quite stream of consciousness, without physical violence and intimidation, he uses language bewitching and the death worship he preaches all day to lure his wife to the rope hanging on the wall like brainwashing and hypnosis. The wife put on the rope and took off the bench, and the wife died without any resistance. Then, the other self in his fantasy knelt down in front of him in lama clothes and told himself to become The reincarnated living Buddha became the savior, and the throne of Lhasa is waiting for him...... After we receive his information about death, about heaven, about salvation, about reincarnation, about race all the time in the film , it's not hard to imagine why his wife would accept the end of her life so submissively. In a sense you can see shadows of cults, Tibet, Buddhism, Potala, cremation, reincarnation, these religious elements morphed into a life-destroying creature after being distorted and added to personal values ​​and racism Spirit bomb. He started preaching racist rhetoric and doing Nazi salutes at his wife's memorial service, looking like Hitler... Then he took his son to the morgue full of coffins and gave him a look The corpse in the coffin, showing the son such a wonderful sight of death. Then he killed his son of Jewish blood with an iron rod. The classical music in the background makes this massacre against humanity extraordinarily solemn, and the bowknot on Carl's neck always tells the audience how to write the four characters for the beast. The other self knelt at his feet again and told himself that he had become a Buddha, and the time for enthronement was coming soon. He had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving all mankind, and he would use a huge gas incinerator to shorten the burning time from 75 minutes to 10. In minutes, let all Jews be cremated and become indistinguishable ashes, let every soul ascend to heaven, enter heaven, and be reincarnated. In the morgue, he chased and killed his daughter to the rhythm of the music. The subjective shot of him chasing and the subjective shot of his daughter avoiding each other alternated, which was beautiful. Finally, the time has come, and it is time for him to take the throne to save all mankind. He left his daughter who ran away in panic, and under the guidance of another self, got into the car bound for Lhasa. The illusion of the Potala Palace appeared on the window. temple.
