Jenny symbolizes the beauty of life, Eater of Souls symbolizes drugs, and Ian gets deeper and deeper into drug addiction, the deeper the plot, the more miserable the drug addicts are, the more miserable life is, and the more fragmented the beauty is.
The first story was on the college ice hockey team. At that time, I was just young and ignorant. One night, an ignorant, a cigarette handed over by a stranger would make people get a little drug, and it would definitely not be too much at first, so The harm caused will not be too great, it's just 'failure of a hockey game', the beautiful Jenny is still by your side, and 'Stranger's Trap' has become the murderer of Ian's life.
The next step is to enter the society and become a social white-collar worker. With the deepening of drug use, the beautiful Jenny still stays by your side, but if you are far away, the harm of drugs begins to appear, because the 'wife' (family) will not forgive your behavior , will kill Ian (leave and abandon) while saying sorry.
Then he degenerated from a white-collar worker to a taxi driver, lost his comfortable life, and became like a traveller with the beautiful Jenny. Jenny's house is having a happy party, and Ian can't even enter the house. At this time, Ian can only stay in the empty and lonely die in the environment.
Then became unemployed, like a plot, Jenny, a symbol of beauty, has begun to torture you at this time: Are you taking drugs again? And everyone around you started to stare at you, like a taxi driver looking back frequently, isn't he looking at a hallucinating drug addict? The condemnation and contempt of society are everywhere, and you can only be killed by society on the street.
Then he finally became a drug addict. Although Jenny had planned to give up, she threw the drug addict one last chance and stabbed a soul eater (drug), but a little sting did not stop him. Can't kill the huge drug addiction, through the mouth of the old man, the director once again clearly expounded the innuendo: "Like drugs, once you try it once, you can never stop." Sure enough, Ian committed suicide in the end (Self-fallen).
The last time, Ian was terminally ill, unable to do anything, but at the mercy of Soul Eater (drugs), and finally killed by a needle.
And the ending of the film is the director's elaboration of love. Only true love is the ultimate way to resist the Eater of Souls (drugs). Is this the so-called prodigal son?
