Lavis called her and bought flowers from time to time to give her. In his own words, she was like other women, one look could turn people away thousands of miles away. The flowers slowly withered in Lavis’s own shabby room. At this time, Lavis began to carry out what he called rectification. Rather than rectify, he wanted to prove the meaning of his existence, that is, he needed a sense of identity. Use this to redeem your depravity in the dirty world and get rid of loneliness. From then on, the shots of the film tended to ridicule and ridicule, and at the same time revealed the cruel truth. He bought 3 pistols, installed a rapid-fire mechanism on his arm, practiced shooting, and even talked to himself in front of the mirror, hoping for himself Appeared with an admirable face. He is a lonely person. There are not many feelings that ordinary people should get in his world, such as being loved, so he kicked over that black and white TV while watching the love dialogue of a man and a woman.
His appearance began to change. Instead of wearing the old military uniform that he had rented out, he had a golden section hairstyle, wearing casual shirts and jeans. Once in a supermarket, he shot and killed a black man who was carrying out a robbery and saved the boss, but he didn’t have a gun license. The boss didn’t even say thank you, so he asked him to leave his store as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble; The candidate’s bodyguard recommended that he enter the Intelligence Bureau. The bodyguard thought he was a lunatic, so Xiangzhuang wanted to mail him the information and told him to go home and wait. Don’t mess with him here;
then he remembered that he had been in his car and was leaving. Here, there is a young prostitute Avila who was pulled down by a man. At this time, Lavis wanted to rescue Avila from this man's haze, let her go back to school and lead a normal life. In fact, that man is a pimp and Avila's boyfriend, even then Avila is willing to be with him. There was a period when the two men hugged, the room was dark and the dim red light, accompanied by the man's hypocritical words, Avila hugged him tighter. Later Avila laughed at Lavis as an intelligence agent. She was intoxicated by such a humble satisfaction. And this, Lavis didn't even have it.
Lavis kept a punk-style Mexican haircut and was about to assassinate the president-elect, but he was easily spotted by his bodyguards and he ran away. The bloodiest scene of the movie appears here. Lavis is absurd, and the space that accommodates him is indifferent. Not only is he alone, but he can't get the slightest sense of identity, and he begins to despair. So he took his three guns and killed the pimp, rushed into the hotel and killed the hotel owner and a gangster who was about to have sex with Avila. But this incident got him in the newspaper. The report in the newspaper was written in heavy large fonts: "Taxi driver killed 3 gang members." The words "Taxi driver" were particularly strong, as if they were in Said that taxi drivers can also do such amazing incidents. The newspaper also wrote that the child prostitutes are going through a difficult transition period when they return to school. This is to vaguely show that Avila may not be recognized by her current circle, and still belongs to the object of rejection. Everything shows that all of Lavis's actions have received very little sense of identity and redemption.
Later, Lavis's hairstyle was the same as the one at the beginning of the film, with fluffy yellow hair without modification. Continuing to drive his yellow taxi at night, Beth accidentally took his car. He didn't charge her fare. The end of the film was Lavis's complete compromise.
What Lavis did seems absurd, or it can be understood that he is a mental patient. He was originally the victim, but he has become the victimizer. This reflects the psychological characteristics of the low-level characters, uneasy about the status quo, and fantasizing that they can do a big thing to prove themselves. The world is ruthless, and cities are even more indifferent. If there is a little warmth, then this warmth is also full of lies and deceptions. Even a white lie is okay, and people can find some comfort, but the whole city leaves us with garbage and dung on the street. No one can make themselves clean. People with cleanliness are lonely. . "Rectification" is a word that has been emphasized in the first half of the film. Rectification means arranging materials in a reasonable order. At the end of the day, the division between classes and classes is already close to perfect rectification. The candidate said, We are all people, so let the people rule themselves. What the people use to govern themselves, "class" is the most reasonable medium. Crossing this medium, no one can be recognized. So the world we live in is to constantly compromise, until the default, then adapt, then accept, and finally cannot leave it. Take it easy, take it easy.
This is the humble soul.
