The prototype of the story comes from Goethe's "Faust". There is a bet between the devil and God, but Faust himself has not yet known this. The devil tempts Faust to sign an agreement with him: the devil will satisfy all the requirements of Faust during his lifetime, but will take his soul in exchange for Faust after his death. Lester is a small, cowardly, mediocre, and a bit useless. He has been bullied since he was a child but can only swallow his voice. He is unsatisfactory in work and marriage. He is a loser. When he met the killer Lorne in the hospital, Luo Eun saw Lester’s thoughts, "You ask me to help you kill this person. Just one sentence, yes or no." This is just like the contract issued by Mephistopheles. Yes, only then came Lester who released his inner devil step by step, from killing his wife by wrong hand to actively framed his brother later, from being evil to being evil, and finally "reborn", and the degeneration of the soul was exchanged. The career is booming and new love and marriage, and the transformation of Leicester, except for the little devil in everyone's heart, in addition to Lorne’s temptation, his wife’s complaints and contempt, and the brother’s show off and contempt have become its evil. Push hand. If Lester is the side A of the little man, Gus is the side B of the little man. Like Lester, Gus is also a cowardly little man who is not taken seriously at work. He encountered a killer for the first time. Lorne (the devil Mephistopheles) was stunned by the look in his eyes, and he let go without even looking at his credentials, but the reason for his cowardice was that there was another daughter who needed his own protection-this is probably Gus and Les The biggest difference is that although Gus is a father of a single-parent family and lives with his only daughter, his father-daughter relationship is very good. Like Leicester, Gus later reorganized the family, and the family atmosphere formed by him and policewoman Molly is very different from Leicester’s new family atmosphere. When Leicester has a beautiful wife by his side, watch When the three beauties passed by, I couldn’t help but cheat my wife to drink two more drinks, and in the middle of the night he took his wife home without any reason. Although the wife was dissatisfied, she did not dare to express it. The weight in Leicester’s heart, First is myself, then the wife. But Gus’s family feels like a real family. Everyone puts their family in front of them. When the father-in-law realizes the danger, he stays outside the granddaughter’s room all night, although it is not his own granddaughter, but in the end this is also the case. The reason—to protect his family—becomes Gus, the once cowardly and tiny former policeman for the courage to kill the devil. The killer Lorne is the devil Mephistopheles walking in the world, tempting people to fall, and using despicable means to make him fulfill his wish. When he saw Loser Leicester, he suddenly became interested, trying to lure this small and cowardly Leicester into depravity. That's why Ron was merciless when he killed others, but Dudu was always merciful to Leicester, because this was the work he was creating, and he wanted to watch his work finally complete. Later, Ron was in the elevator. After killing three people, Lester asked Lester "Is this what you wanted?" His eyes were to appreciate that his work was finally completed.
