I can't escape

"The Machinist" ranks brilliantly in group psychology films. However, I'm still a bit disappointed, especially the handling of the ending that makes people feel that this is really an educational film about traffic laws.
In fact, it can be better dealt with from the perspective of individual subjectivity. It is a complete failure to surrender to the police station and then fall asleep. It is disgusting to watch a movie after most of my life's education.
First of all, the dark tones in the film are very good, and it is easy to bring people into the plot. There should be warm applause for Bell's performance. Not to mention that he lost 55 pounds of perseverance in two weeks for this role. His sunken eyes, pale eyes, floating eyes, especially the clearly identifiable outlines of ribs and skulls, all his actions perfectly performed the helplessness, exhaustion, fear and madness after insomnia. I was totally attracted by his wonderful performance, as if I could feel his pain of not sleeping for a year. When I watched the movie, I was even a little dizzy, thinking of myself as the protagonist. The brilliant gray tone got me right.
"Session9" directed by Brad Anderson was very successful, and the horror plot in "The Machinist" is still very impressive. What I like most is the setting of the big fish and the photo. It’s a wonderful turnaround. I always thought that the kid’s corpse was in the refrigerator. Because I was affected by the corpse thrown at the beginning, I always felt the disgusting flow out. The fluid in my heart is blood, and many people must think so too. There is also the case of Bell crashing, which really reveals the protagonist's character deeply. Don't say, I thought he had gone back, and when his paper-like body flew over the car, I was really hit. The persistence of seeking the truth reached its peak here, and he might even pay the price of his life for it. And this is in sharp contrast to the result that the owner is himself, which greatly enhances the effect of suspense.
From the climax of Ping Dao, it is the world of the male protagonist (the English name is forgotten). The alternation of true and false is ultimately a process in which the male protagonist finds himself unconsciously. The simple fact is that he hit a little boy and fled. The prostitute is real, and the accident is real. The airport waitress is transformed. According to Jung's statement, Ilvan should be the unconscious of the male protagonist, constantly coming out to interfere and remind himself. The character’s character has been well-represented in the film. The protagonist’s obsession with the truth and hatred of conspiracy are reflections of his inability to escape himself, so that the character cannot forget the fact that he once killed a little boy. Insomnia and all the stories have a reasonable and reasonable interpretation.
Truth is so important in the protagonist's heart, and how can he escape the questioning of a little boy's soul, man, after all, what you care about, what is your dead spot. Because that's you, you can't get out of it.
