In a sense, this film has a strong Oedipus complex.

Father killing, one is killing people’s admiration for heroes, both in and out of the play, which is very ironic. The second is the appearance of the white and weak male protagonist standing up and going to the whole world after entangled in all sorts of ways. Rebelled against the physical father, but also rebelled against the psychological father butcher. (The butcher himself is also a father-killer)

If this drama is regarded as a youth drama, it also has a rich realistic meaning to compare the growth of young people entering the society.

In the ivory tower, we put ourselves on the shelf, knowing nothing about oil, salt and firewood, full of idealism, full of fantasy, and full of enthusiasm. As a result, we suddenly brushed it and were crushed by the train of reality. Then the worldview began to collapse little by little, and our understanding of life was lost. Wash again. Rub, it turns out that this is the real world, everyone is so embarrassed and embarrassed. Everything is in ruins.

When I was young, I believed in justice and morality, legal rules, passionate love, and innocent people. I believed that I had power and that the future belonged to myself.

As a result, facing the torrent of this train, to the north, a small person was crushed and submerged.

What's more, not everyone has the opportunity to be the protagonist, whether to choose the red pill or the blue pill, more is to see the truth, and quickly become a part of the truth.
