When watching this animation, I unconsciously made up for Senior Zhao Lirong's grievance voice when he read the contract, "I said I won't sign, you have to let me sign...I sign...I What is this signed..." Just like the bastard in the film who does all evil inexplicably becomes an angel, people finally get up early in the morning with a small schoolbag on their back and go to bomb the school, but they are caught by a pair of unreliable people. Angel wings tied into chicks. Although the dark desires of adults collide, the plot setting is simple and full of childishness, and some tacit details of the edge ball also make up for the astringency brought by the picture.

The sketch-like lines minimize the faces of the characters in the film, focusing on the shadows around the facial features to express emotions. The colors of the whole film are immersed in the gray mess of the sketch, just like the angry mood and malicious life of the characters when they appear. The red color of blood is the only shining color in the whole film. It accompanies all injuries and screams, and goes hand in hand with pain, satirizing this chaotic, numb, and predatory world.

A mean tavern owner, a sexy, free-spirited tavern owner's wife, a fat woman in a daydream, a villain with a box of pistols waiting to be sold, a greedy doctor, they're all angels who need to be rescued fool. Greed, sexual desire, violence, and hostility, the angel wings that set off become whiter and whiter, until the greedy doctor dyed it black with a bucket of thick ink, which is convenient for the tavern owner to fly to the city to blow up other taverns. People who voluntarily give up their souls are probably also despicable in the eyes of the devil, a group of poor people who can't play with the universal values ​​of society and the rules and regulations of open guns and dark arrows.

There are a lot of metaphors in the film where good and evil are reversed, angels and demons are interchanged, and dreams are used to imply each person's wishes, which is actually equivalent to explaining the future: the fat woman who desires to bloom like a butterfly is as small as a butterfly pinched to death by a villain. , the boss's wife who is eager to get love finally gets what she wants, the reborn villain will no longer suffer from birdsong, and the villainous tavern owner and doctor are finally overwhelmed by their own evil desires. And in the cemetery at night, is it an angel or a demon who appears like a ghost? Isn't the resurrection of a villain born from a man's belly button like the devil's joke? In order to save a villain, but at the expense of the health of the town's wine drinkers, is it the fault of the angel or the devil's indifference?

To be honest, after all, with the precedent of Faust, this may be another bet between angels and devils joking about human happiness.
