The film tells the story of a series of events that broke out after the protagonist's depression. The protagonist is fired in a traffic jam. It was just another hot season. The director even used a set of slow motion to look around: there are women painted in red, there are girls holding dolls, and there are men talking loudly on the phone. And the protagonist feels bored and fluctuated to describe his emotions, but it is more of a panic. And the director cleverly used the opening slow-motion shots to make an article on the license plate. Financial Freedom, Died for Our Sins, Eat Shit, D-Fens/Defense. These secrets set the stage for what happened next.
So he abandoned the car and went into a convenience store to buy Coke. Because the price was too expensive, I had a quarrel with the Korean boss, and in the process of arguing, I had a conflict with the boss. He's not doing it for money and doesn't want his boss to think he's a thief. It's that he thinks he's buying more than the product should be worth. After stealing the boss's baseball bat, he smashed the shop with punishment. The story alludes to the opening up of the Financial Freedom economy to the world, attracting profit-extracting merchants.
He went to an open area to rest, but because of the problem of the site, he had a conflict with two hooligans. He beat the hooligans with the baseball bat he had just grabbed, and then grabbed a throwing knife. Of course, not to be outdone, the hooligan grabbed the guns available at home and prepared to retaliate. On the street, shoot at the protagonist. I don't know if it's because the rogue's marksmanship is not allowed, or the protagonist's life is too big and he misses a shot. The hooligan crashed and died in an unsuccessful attempt to retaliate. At this time, he took a travel bag full of ammunition and walked into a fast food restaurant, and had a quarrel with the clerk over the brunch problem. During the quarrel, he took out a gun and fired, and the scene was out of control. Pointing at the billboard and asking, "Who agrees there's something wrong with this picture?" Alluding to Eat Shit.
Fast food restaurants are falling behind. At this time, he attracted the attention of the police and began to investigate the matter. The protagonist walks into a clothing store and gets help from the owner. It was later discovered that the owner was an anti-gay, racist, sexist Nazi. A new conflict broke out immediately. It also echoes Died for Our Sins.
And what is the protagonist trying to defend? The final outcome can be imagined, the protagonist negotiates with a retired policeman. He couldn't help but ask the retired policeman: "Am I a bad guy?" The retired policeman: "You are a bad guy!" After a fight, he shot him to death.
In the film, the distortion and extreme personality of the protagonist, as well as the negative emotions of social dissatisfaction, are amplified to reflect the real society.
