maverick pretending to be crazy

In fact, to vent their dissatisfaction with the society by pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, people have always done this in ancient and modern China and abroad. However, it seems that it is relatively rare to go so far as these few in the film. By going to great lengths to imitate the characteristic behavior of the mentally handicapped, they constantly joked with the society in public and gained a short-lived pleasure from it. The image of an idiot is the spiritual mask of this group of people, and it also becomes a shield for their various transgressions, because people will not care too much about the mistakes made by idiots. However, the game was never played. Like countless acts of anarchism, there is no escape from failure. I originally wanted to mock this society in a special way, but in the end I found that it was me who was being mocked, because you still couldn't get past the embarrassing situation that made you so painful. And this society seems to be untouched at all.
