The man is a man with a lot of faults, lying to his wife, lying, being vain and hypocritical, but behind it all, he's a real person, he picked up the phone, was controlled, and he didn't want anyone to die after he confessed everything. In order to save his wife, he rushed out of the phone booth with a gun. In this moment, he chose to give up his life. On the other hand, the sniper who thought he was God killed a pimp who had no conflict with him and a pizza delivery man. Wouldn't it be honest to work hard to raise a family and not be in Vanity Fair? I don't know if the director wanted to ridicule God for pretending to set up universal values ​​to set good and bad, but in fact he's just a paranoid selfish ordinary man with a sniper rifle in his hand who can manipulate phone lines There are many people like the male protagonist in human life. They have many problems, but they are still good people. However, there are also people like God. Behind the pure and noble image, they are just a self-abasement, paranoid, violent and arrogant extreme egoist.

Under these conditions, the film still does its own thing; in the performance, whether it is Farrell or the voice-only Bao Xiaoqiang, this tension has been aggravated. The confrontation atmosphere; besides, the film is actually quite religious. Didn't you see the protagonist's name is Shepherd?
