At the end of the film, the actor stood up and slowly walked towards the guards and hospital staff who were about to take him away, and said a meaningful sentence, "Which would be worse? To live as a monster...or to die as a good man." "Which is worse? Is it to live like a monster or die like a person". In fact, his illness has been cured, but he himself cannot accept this reality. He would rather live in his own world than die in his own world than live with such a heavy ideological burden. Therefore, he chose to undergo surgery to remove his memory, thoughts, senses, and consciousness, because he was unwilling to face it before recovery, but he was unable to face it after recovery. So in the end he did not commit suicide or homicide, but received a surgical operation, which was the removal of forebrain lobe proteins. The general purpose of this surgical operation is to make people lose their memory, lose their intuition, etc. In short, it is to become a fool without suffering. Not happy, happy, etc. A series of emotional consciousness.
