As a bank clerk, Stanley, like many ordinary people, yearns for a very beautiful girlfriend, but reality has dealt a heavy blow-no money, no good-looking appearance, but with the appearance of a mask, the clerk’s Life has changed drastically, from being bullied to joking on the street, from being punished by the landlord to not complaining to damaging the house, from being unable to enter the bar to robbing the bank, chartering into the bar. The shot of the money thrown at the bar is in contrast with being turned away, being thrown to the side of the road, being splashed with water by passing vehicles, and finally being squeezed by a car repair shop, forming a sharp contrast between the characters' experience. No matter how depressing life is, there are expectations for expressing one's heart. The beautiful dancer in the bar is the sun of the little staff, and the mask gave him a chance. Different people have different effects on them. Dorian is evil in his heart. Wearing a mask wants to destroy the city. Stanley's heart is just to have a life that is not looked down upon by others and a good love. The second contrast of the film is that reporters betray their small staff for money, but they are also forced by life, while bar dancers just need to be respected by people. One is material lack, and the other is spiritual lack. The effect of the Rocky mask can only be seen at night. During the day, when people face the society, they wear various masks, and at night people will take off the various masks to reveal the true side of their hearts. And a small person like Dorian can only dare to express his heart at night by wearing another mask with magical power. The film also criticizes this repressive society indirectly through the writer. The film's first reflection of life through a witty humor style: the inner depression of people from all walks of life, showing people with masks, but eager to express the truest side of their hearts and be respected, including Stanley's pet dog. The second reflection is that in front of love, we should treat each other sincerely, instead of wearing a false mask. When the dancer asked Dorian for the last kiss, Dorian chose to take off the mask and satisfy the dancer with that real face Requirements. At the end of the film, the dancer threw the mask into the river, hoping to get a real Stanley. The wheel of history is moving slowly. In contemporary society, people who live with masks and desire to express their hearts can be seen everywhere in their lives.
