Humbleness reflected by beauty

"What broke into your life?" After the boss asked this sentence, he did not receive an answer, but a bullet instead, because this sentence deprived the protagonist of his last dignity, and showed his humbleness and nakedness in the in front of him. This sentence is actually a kind of abbreviation, and the complete meaning should be: what broke into your life, made you want to live your own life, and no longer willingly be a dog that obeys your life?

This question, which is not answered in the movie, has an answer in my heart: the beauty that cannot be grasped.

Everyone has a humble side, but people tend to hide these humbleness so well that they don't even want to let themselves discover it, just like the protagonist repeatedly mentioned forgetting memories in the movie. But the boss's lover asked: Can the memory be forgotten, can you really pretend that none of this happened?

In fact, people do not have the ability to eliminate the humble. Just like the direct sunlight in summer, we can see every particle of dust in the air around us. When beautiful things break into our world, the humbleness in our hearts has nowhere to hide.
