Rules are made to be broken

In fact, I want to say that this is an educational film: what I saw in this film is:
1. Only the paranoid can survive: The survival I am talking about is not the survival of lingering, but the survival of a free man. In fact, I think the so-called evolution is driven by the success of paranoia. It is just paranoia that can leave traces in history. John's wife actually gave up after 3 years of hard work, and the director also hinted at the possible choice of the male protagonist, a easy way to go, that single mother's beauty is no less than his wife's, and her character is also gentle and amiable. But the paranoid John has the consciousness to challenge his own limits and achieve greater happiness.
2. When it comes to challenging one's own limits to obtain happiness, one has to say where does the happiness of people come from? Why is it so easy for humans to be dissatisfied, and why is our rapidly increasing threshold so that a new phone that gave me 100 points of happiness yesterday can only give me 70 points of happiness today? And I have foreseen that it will fall to the ground next week and I will not feel heartache? How can a hug for two in that humble little hotel in Venezuela trump a mediocre 10,000 orgasms? How a child's kiss brings us to tears?
The resulting happiness formula: happiness = hard work * degree of effort * return on effort
3. Only by challenging the system can one obtain the satisfaction of jumping in the food chain hierarchy. So there are serial killers, there are so many unsolved files in the police station, I can only say that the threshold for those people is too high. Ordinary achievements have been unable to satisfy their desire to break through. John is a genius, jumping from a socially responsible Prius-driven literature teacher to a criminal genius, and I'd say it's not just the power of love, it's a total betrayal of his old self.
4. As for us, the habitual offenders who go straight from the right-turn lane every day, without accumulating so much rage, can't make any big moves. That's why serial killers are basically always good gentlemen---without him, the anger gauge is just red.
So why is my state of mind so peaceful, I finally understood during the filming process that my motto is the title, a few violations a day, and good health.
