Male protagonist

The reason why the male protagonist is so miserable is because the director did not impose his own emotional pity on the male protagonist. Even if it is pity, it is a top-down pity, or pity that only exists in the creative process, such as a small shop. From the moment she appears on the stage, she knows that the male lead will be with her in the ending, and the ending clearly ends with a scene where two people shake hands. This is the only warmth of the film. However, this warmth is produced by the film arrangement. , It does not show any emotional strength. The director has thought about everything about the story from the beginning and from the beginning of creation. The fate of the male protagonist and the pure core of the story, so the male protagonist is not only miserable within the story, he also It's miserable because the director's mechanical arrangement can only lead to the final destiny.

The movie shows some detailed passages, such as rock singers singing and robbers playing cards. Although these passages are long, they do not have any meaning in themselves. The only effect is to compare with the male protagonist. The more elaborate these passages are, the longer they are. Time, when the camera turns to the male protagonist, the more pitiful and funny the male protagonist is, like radiating a sense of coldness to the people and things in the entire movie with the male protagonist as the center.
