Icelandic/Norwegian films.
The movie begins and ends with a bus taking us into the unknown. At the beginning of the film, the bus takes the male protagonist to an ideal world: the work is less difficult and stressful, the salary is high, the boss is good, and even the wife is completely tolerant of cheating, and in the end, he will not even die. "Super Perfect Hell" describes the embodiment of all beautiful social forms. Such a society is a prison, imprisoning you and making you forget real happiness.
Sometimes I also wonder, if I was really rich, would I really be happy? Would I really be happy if I wasn't bound by morals and ethics? If I live forever and have a perfect love, will I really be happy? Some things will be lost, it will become precious. If everything could be replaced, it would seem that the excitement would subside.
In the latter part of the film, the male protagonist gets through the tunnel, and the fragrance is overflowing, even the dying person (the old man) comes after him. The infinitely satisfying "happy" of a lifetime is lured by the smell of food.
The male protagonist has indeed gained happiness in this world. Just like we are always moved by material money and beautiful faces. It's easy to get something, we can't see the beauty of the process, and the shelf life is shorter. Just imagine, we are really like the second female in the film, worrying about our livelihood and worrying about our residence, will we remember Kusitian's "hell" in the film and live to death?
The ending song has a soft narrative. I listened to it several times and finished typing this sentence. Although I don't like the world in the film, it is undeniable that in the near future, human beings will develop along such a line. The fertility rate is getting lower and lower, and the blood and hope will be lost under the high welfare and high quality.
