Dick's Entertainment

Dick's hallucination from start to finish, entertaining himself. Here are my findings
1.
Gina 's time of death: Gina died at the beginning of the movie. Gina's ring appears N times in the film, the red ring on the ring finger of the right hand: eating an apple at 05.45; playing with the close-up of the ring at 11:48...
Only at the end when Dick dug out his hand, it was red nail polish and a blue ring. According to the new footprints, it can be judged that the buried soil is Gina, which also conforms to the stereotype of Gina's occupation. Not specifically explained.
It is also suggested many times in the film that Gina is Dick's hallucination. 36:52 Start of blood on Gina's right arm on and off; empty pit.
2. The cycle of reincarnation: The
cycle of reincarnation is to acknowledge the objective existence of Bloodyface. Please see the part of Bloodyface throwing a cigarette butt in 33 minutes. Actually it was Dick himself. Bloodyface is just Dick's hallucination. Bloodyface doesn't exist, how can there be a cycle of reincarnation. As for the close-up of the bloodstains on the road at 25:40, let's make it a mystery.
3. The policeman in the film: At the
beginning, "plainclothes" is just a passerby. Suspicion and subconscious guilt of being a thief made Dick very suspicious, so much that he imagined him in plainclothes in the end. The arrival of a lightning police car is even more suggestive of fantasy. It would be more obvious if the last part of the escape was driving his original car.
3.Dick's character:
The film put a lot of effort into Dick's character building. His conversations with Gina, Bloodyface, and Sheriff are all activities in his inner world. The word "trust" is engraved on his arm, something someone who doesn't trust others would do. He peeked at Gina's purse, he was suspicious, guessed many times about the identity of the passerby, suspected Gina's infidelity, suspected that Gina was using him, despised Gina's career, thought Gina was dissolute (the masturbation part), and at the same time he was paranoid, overly obsessed with Gina, infatuated with To the point of scaring the other person (52 minutes of conversation).
As for the ending, this looping technique tells us two things: 1. Dick knew that he killed Gina; 2. Dick, who is a dual personality, continued to kill in a serial manner.

The above is my understanding. If there is anything missing, I hope everyone will be mad.
