In fact, I really like the soundtrack and editing techniques of the film. Although the overall rhythm is relatively slow and has some characteristics of Italian neorealism, it shows a more novel expression technique of modern films. The interspersed flashbacks and the abrupt end of the electronic soundtrack leave enough space for the development of the plot and the thinking of the audience.
The plot of the movie combined with the title seems like the director's attempt to show the tragic consequences of falling in love, but it's much more than that. It seems that he wants to convey a certain philosophy through the film, perhaps to express a protest against the automation under the development of technology, or perhaps to hope to break the unchanging reality, knowing that the road ahead is difficult but biased towards Hushan Xing's paranoia.
The female protagonist was attracted by the male protagonist's mystery, but did not choose to give up immediately after knowing his dangerous identity. Perhaps from the perspective of the heroine, the hero is also the breakthrough she seeks in her ordinary life. And the male protagonist, knowing the consequences of stealing money, led him to a dead end step by step with a kind of determination like a moth to the flame. And the old couple who got all the money at the end, although sticking to the old rules, just like all ordinary people, became the final winner. What will it bring out of the comfort zone? The meaning that the director wants to convey here may vary from person to person.
