A bank clerk, Stanley, found a mask in the water, which is said to be the soul of Loki, the god of mischief.

The function of the mask

After putting on the mask the first night, he began to vent his suppressed emotions, shouting at the landlord, and retaliating against the auto repair shop staff who bullied him.

On the second night, he went to the nightclub, danced and kissed Tina, (the first time they met was because Tina went to the bank to pretend to open an account, but was actually used to spy on the structure of the bank), after this close dance Tina feels a little bit about the mask (she said this to Stanley in the cell)

She didn't get warmth and romance with Dorian (boyfriend), and wanted to express her true feelings when she parted.

On the last night, Dorian got the mask at first (because it was betrayed by Peggy)

He was sent to the police and locked up in a cell. Perhaps it was the desire that inspired him after wearing a mask the first two times. Now he dares to take the police's pistol, dare to let the police take him out, and dare not have a mask. Save Tina alone.

The end is that he put on the mask again to end the chaos. And threw away the mask, kissed Tina. (At the end of the film, Stanley’s colleague wanted to get the mask. Unexpectedly, Milo (the male lead’s dog, very amazing, helped the male lead escape from the cell) first took it away) (This should be a metaphor, everyone thinks. Transform and gain magical powers, but dogs just use it as a toy. People have to live simpler and don’t want too much)

A mask can make the deepest desires in one’s heart come true. It’s just a pusher. With a mask, others don’t know who you are. You can do whatever you want before, and you’ve been suppressed before. .

The Mask quotes

  • The Mask: Je t'adore. Je t'window. I don't care!

  • Stanley Ipkiss: [explaining how The Mask works] It's like it brings your innermost desires to life. If deep down you're a little repressed, and a hopeless romantic, you become some kind of love-crazy wild man.

    Tina Carlyle: And if you're someone like Dorian?

    Stanley Ipkiss: Then we're all in big trouble. And if I were you, I'd get out of town, fast.
