It turns out that I haven't understood it yet, but I'd rather understand it this way~

I haven't seen such a movie for a long time. It makes people appreciate it with deep thinking, and every time I watch it, I will gain more and discover more. I am ashamed to say that it took me 3 hours to watch this 1.5-hour movie, not because I watched it twice, but because when I watched it in the office, there were always calls or other factors.
This is a movie that is not easy to understand after watching it once. I am currently in this situation and I don't fully understand it, but I would like to share my understanding with you:
starting from the poster, there are 6 bullets, and the first five are written for consideration. Of course, the last name of the person you killed is reserved for yourself, NO TRIAL. There is a sentence between the two cute little fish below: Sometimes a handicap is all in the mind... This is the theme of this film, warning people who are under stress to learn to release themselves, and sometimes the obstacle is in our own thoughts , to find your way out.
Then cut to the body and discuss the hero McDonald's. The protagonist looks very wretched (it's true, the Chinese translation names are so bad), a typical oppressed image, psychological problems, and a bit of symptoms of fantasy mental syndrome. In the film, you can see his fantasies again and again, starting from the explosion of the company building, to talking with Xiaoyu, to weeding in front of his door, and dancing with the heroine in a wheelchair... In fact, when he talks to the fish, he talks to himself, The fish were long dead, and drinking a lot of honey-like beverages made his hallucinations come true. Such a person's hobbies and behaviors are very strange. He can continue to watch the TV screen constantly, draw on the head of the match, and be obsessed with the hot dance girl toys...
When Coleman, who is also mentally ill, kills in his office, McDonnell shoots him out of hatred for the murderer who accidentally wounded the heroine. The subsequent career advancement was not a hallucination, but the company executives were assisting psychologists to treat him, and deliberately gave him a position, hoping to help his psychology. Because when the Coleman incident occurred, the company had already invited the police to investigate, and when it was found that McDonnell's house was in a mess, it was not difficult to know how much of a psychological problem he had. Coupled with the copy of should I finish what coleman started?, it was enough for a company-wide meeting to temporarily give him a position, and give him enough respect and support, so McDonald's became a heroic figure, just give him a suggestion Ideas will be recognized by everyone, and everyone has become a play within a play, performing in front of Bob McDonald.
One of the performers performed very real - the heroine, beautiful and capable of LIGHT UP A ROOM, this character is very controversial, and some people say that she is also cheating McDonald's from beginning to end. All used as stepping stones; some said she was great, and she was the root cause of why McDonald's didn't hurt anyone. I am more convinced of the latter one, because after the heroine is paralyzed, she really doesn't want to live, and when she wants to end her life on the train tracks, the hero pulls her back. These are all real, the feelings that arise at this time It's also true, my favorite scene in the film is here: a super nice piece of music plays (the lyrics seem to be "some days are fading" or something), the hero and heroine dance in dresses, and play GOLF with friends , play in the bar with the people who bully him on weekdays, play games with the heroine, push her to run wildly on the rooftop, and watch the miniature painting "Flying to the Sunset" together... It's really sad that nothing happened)
I don't have much to comment on the ending of the story, anyway at least I'm satisfied with the ending, Mai didn't hurt anyone he wanted to hurt, just FINISHED WHAT COLEMAN STARTED, the flock The Central Committee will sacrifice some weak and sick ones to preserve the survival of the entire flock.
In fact, there are too many things to think about in the whole film, everyone is worth commenting, and the Henry from the maintenance department in the film, the broken hot dancing girl, the hummingbird, the match head, the six glasses of beer he drank, etc. It contains a lot of meanings, or about pressure, or about feelings... Okay, I won't say it anymore, just leave it to everyone to think about it, the boss is here~

    This is a very interesting film, a world imagined by a little man: Before I die, let me be a hero again. Slater's performance is great, I really want people to scold him
