Many people in the film reviews think that they really killed someone. This is a misunderstanding. Every time he "kills" there are no bystanders, only himself and the person being killed. It is a matter of imagination or illusion.
The homeless and the girls don’t say anything about it. At least in the case of the police chasing the blasting of the police car, no other passers-by appeared in such a big accident. A pistol kept getting bullets and kept firing every time. It is marksmanship like a god.
That night, he got out of control from the kitten. He saw the prompt on the cash machine to kill the cat before he wanted to kill the cat. This prompt was obviously an illusion. But when the old lady called to stop, she should have turned around and pulled the card and ran away. Shooting the old woman, killing many police officers, and exploding police cars are all hallucinations.
It was true that he entered the building and went back to the office. The gatekeeper who asked him to sign really existed, but he went into the building twice, right. The time he shot the gatekeeper and the cleaner was the part of confusion. He was the second time. Entering the building, sweating and reluctantly signing, throwing a pen, and going upstairs are the facts.
It’s just that those murder scenes actually appeared in his experience, that is to say, hallucinations, or did they just appear on the notebook relatively controllably, that is, I still know I’m imagining it, I think It was controllable at first, but later I felt that I couldn't tell the difference, and then I felt dangerous, so I had a showdown with my fiancée and calling a lawyer was also out of control.
In the scene where the female assistant came to his house, he was fighting between heaven and humans and choosing so many tools, but in fact he still resisted and was interrupted, which did not come true.
The scene where the prostitute met for the second time and tried to escape and saw a lot of corpses was actually a confusion of thinking. The first time the apartment was facing the park, the price should be very high. The girl knocked so many doors when she went downstairs. , Is there no one in the whole building? So how could Paul be a golden collar living in a place with no neighbors at all? Even if people didn’t dare to open the door, they would secretly report to the police, and there would be blood stains afterwards, etc. Question it.
As for the weird landlady later, she drove him away after watching the host weirdly. She was not waiting for the buyer. She did not advertise. She should be following the buyer's order. If you ask for decoration, you are not welcome to come to someone weirdly.
And the night when he imagined that he would do something to Paul with an axe, he thought he was dragging a bag of corpses out, bleeding in the apartment lobby, but the janitor didn’t think it was a problem. He took a taxi and put the big bag. But I met a friend at the time, and they pointed to the big bag and asked him where he bought the sleeping bag. So it was actually just a sleeping bag. He imagined it as a bag of corpses, and he could carry one by himself. The body of an adult man.
Moreover, when the detectives came to investigate Paul's problem, his suspicion was actually relieved by someone else's confession providing his alibi, so it actually proved that he did not kill Paul.
What kind of mental pressure, social reality, I don't think it is so profound. Any social environment has mental illness, and he is just sick.
The attention of the movie itself is mainly due to the clever narrative techniques. It cuts together imagination, illusion, and facts. It does not mean that you can not understand the problem, but can have different understandings and different versions. For
example, many people think that killing is real. Yes, although I think there is a loophole, they all justify themselves. This is the ability of the narrator. He uses the protagonist’s perspective to narrate, and the protagonist’s brain is problematic. He said when he and his fiancee asked to break up The thing is that he has become more and more difficult to control the desire to kill. In fact, he should be controllable for a long time. On the notebook, in the imagination, killing, and then slowly confused the imagination and the facts, thinking that he did indeed do it. Those things, but the lawyer’s words made him realize that he didn’t really do it, so he went to find the apartment, and then he felt very broken when he came out and called the female assistant. Maybe he would think that the fact that he was crazy is actually better than himself. The possibility of killing someone is even more difficult to accept.
