1. In Den skyldige (2018), the light color on the protagonist's face changes, from the white light in the office, the cool light after entering the darkroom, to the bloody light after failure, and the return to the office. Baiguang explains a process of experiencing the ego (the policeman), the superego (hero), the id (sinner) and then returning to the ego.

2. Character determines fate. This chaos originated from the impulse of the protagonist, even if it is a sense of justice.

3. The protagonist is self-defeating. There is a saying in Zhuangzi's Xiaoyao Travel, "The wren nests in the deep forest, but it is only one branch, and the rat drinks the river, but it is full. It is returned to the king, and it is of no use to the world. Although the cook does not cure the cook, the corpse will not surpass the bottle and replace it." , which means that the work of the ancient cooks in the kitchen was not only cutting vegetables, cooking vegetables, and making feasts, but also slaughtering pigs and sheep. event, what should I do? The cook does not go to the kitchen to handle things in the kitchen. The corpse and Zhu, the representatives who are to be sacrificed or the bridesmaids who are to be blessed, do not need to wear robes, climb over the altar, turn over the wine glasses and plates, or even step over the cutting board where the meat is displayed. With the shelf, and then to the kitchen to cook? unnecessary. Even if it is a big thing, there is no need to do it urgently, because the most important thing in society is to live according to the truest self. Therefore, the unstoppable enthusiasm and worry of the protagonist of the story have led to even more terrible results. It is better to just record the transfer of the phone. With the revelation of the plot, the audience learned that he was habitually intervening and interfering, expressing the expansion of his self. The so-called "what exists in oneself is uncertain in the human world, so why don't you have time to do what the violent people do", isn't it?

4. Here you can pay attention to the use of a structure. From the movie's original title and the serpent in the plot of the psychopath, two allusions point to a biblical allusion: the serpent confuses Eve in the Garden of Eden, and Eve then confuses Adam, from which the structure of the film's story emerges.
