About dogs, this film has given different meanings. Joseph directly and brutally killed the dog who had been with him for many years after losing money at the beginning of the film, and then calmly and rationally killed the neighbor's dog in the latter part of the film. Both are based on anger, the former is dissatisfaction with casinos and life, a catharsis of negative emotions, as if one dog killed another dog. The latter was angry at the injured face of the little boy. He knew that he used to treat the people around him like a dog, but this time he really saw a picture of how the innocent child was hurt. Maybe he too. At the same time, he killed the dog in his heart that would release extremely destructive power. When he calmly looked at the dog owner roaring and provoking in front of him, but turned a deaf ear or was unmoved, I think he already understood some things, and the sooner he understood these things, the better, and some people may never understand: When you know how to control yourself and not be easily influenced by others, your emotions and attitudes will open the door for you to mature into a new life.
As for how Joseph found his new life, or cured his fluctuating emotions and rough temper?
At first, I imagined that Hannah, a Catholic, would give him a special psychotherapy, so that God's omnipotent love would influence this confused old man, but as the plot progressed, I found that Hannah was suffering from it again and again. After domestic violence, I no longer simply believe in God. Outside of the film, I discovered that psychology is actually a kind of witchcraft in a sense, it will use some reasonable way to let you accept and absorb things that you don't want to accept, like a plant is alive and correcting For a normal growth posture, the result may achieve the expected effect, but it is still a human distortion for the process. Psychology tells us that it is a healthy way of life to accept and move towards this society and the world. But everything is not as perfect as imagined.
In addition, the film gives a more satisfying answer, which for Joseph is what he calls distanced love. He retains all kinds of dissatisfaction in his life, and communicates politely and politely without getting to know each other too much. He is not used to two people living in the same room, and is afraid that close range will reveal too many shortcomings in him, especially his rude words and deeds like a dog. He understands that his self-protection mechanism has been shaped by years of constant life, and he needs some distance to ensure that the other party is outside the boundaries of danger, but within the scope of love.
When the two mentioned Tyrannosaurus, they unexpectedly appeared at the same time as his dead wife. A giant tyrannosaurus, used to describe his wife's chubby stature, makes the whole floor rattle loudly as they go upstairs. That's the Tyrannosaurus, that's all.
To the people in the room, there may be some strange and scary noises, but when you open the door, you will find that there is no real Tyrannosaurus, just a whimsical old man. Maybe his temper isn't that good, but that's just a gesture of refusal to cowardice, not an evil outlier. He needs more happy smiles. "You're the only one who smiles at me besides Samuel, I want it, I want that smile to seep into my life, to light up my life, I just want to look at you, that's all, don't want to understand You, because I know that once I get to know you, you are flawed."
