"Typewriter and bugs" is actually the most ugly and dirty consciousness in his heart that can't face the truth.

He hated resisting but couldn't get rid of it, but he still obeyed.

When he first learned of his wife's drug use, the idea of ​​destruction had been bred in his heart, but it was only one branch of a large group of ideas that was not enough to be allowed to execute.

After he was tempted to take drugs, his uncontrollable inner thoughts materialized. He confronted his inner bug face-to-face and fought against it. When the bug instigated him to kill his wife, he did not hesitate to shoot the bug to death.

And his wife's derailment finally detonated the idea that had been buried deep in his heart, but in the struggle between emotions and self-desire, he could not choose, so he used the game "William knows" to determine the direction. It turned out to be a "manslaughter" of his wife

This is the first thing he does in accordance with the desires of his inner self

Like a flood that has been opened, it can no longer be controlled

The worm in his heart ran out again and led him to an even more inextricable path.

When he used kiki as a bargaining chip to trade with the rich, his heart was a struggling side and a conscience.

The thought of him returning to the room after taking the hallucinogenic powder is magnified once again and it is unabashedly exposed that he thinks he has sent kiki to a brutal situation and he must feel it.

Just like what the title says

"Liars, you have a stain that cannot be removed, and that is the stain in your heart!"

The tree of human nature breaks down the darkest branch, analyzes itself, faces struggle and desire, and finally falls into a vicious circle.

The doctor who gave him the "antidote" meant the ruler who held social power. On the surface, it was to help him free, but it actually led him into a deeper black hole. In the later interval, there are many people sucking juice greedily, which means that no one can escape the elaborate trap laid by the "regime moralists".

The film's metaphor is a completely upside-down "dirty zone", which means that the real human social world is full of desire and numbness and has an inescapable fatalism.

Finally, the ruler pulled him to join him, invited him to fall and sent him to the colony.

When he was questioned by the guards at the level he entered the colony.

He turned back and woke his sleeping wife. Reproduce that mistake with her again.

It means that he wants to give himself another chance to be reborn when he is about to fall.

If successful, he will let go of all the pain and not be at the mercy of the organization. If he doesn't succeed, he will enter this world with no way back.

When people do something wrong, they always think they can do it all over again. The key is to recreate the scene. Can you really turn things around?

The truth of human nature was recorded without hesitation

At the end of the film, he gave himself one last chance and he killed his beloved again by mistake.

"Welcome to the colony" was told by the man at the checkpoint while he was still at a loss, meaning his last chance was gone and his inner self had truly stepped into this inescapable world.
