Peeping in the dark

Maybe from Baudelaire or Sade, French literature and art began to be full of tempting rotten atmosphere. From then on, the eyes that yearn for beauty no longer simply stare at sunset and maple leaves, but more sprinkled on colorful The garbage, the subway, the sewers, the street corners, the flies...
This movie can be watched in conjunction with "Zoom In", "The Great Conspiracy", or "Rear Window", they are essentially the same.
When people are alienated, they have the urge to find the truth, but no one knows what the truth is. What is the truth in the film? Opera singers refuse to artificially record voices, and the postman has a tape revealing the secrets of gangsters in his bag. When the dark-skinned opera singer and the ordinary postman are walking away, they may not know the latter and a Vietnamese girl. Also playing ambiguous.
If one day, you suddenly find that the person you are most familiar with has another identity, and suddenly find that the book or mattress you are most familiar with hides amazing secrets, it is estimated that joy and fear will surround your numb heart together.
And this is when the danger also becomes endearing, like the lyrical chase scene in the film.
We all want to peep, through clothes, through grey walls, through car windows, through cell phone screens, through cameras.
For the greatest detachment of life lurking in our hearts is likely to be huddled in some corner of the darkest street.
And art, like opera, is essentially no different than a discarded pad in the corner.
