Lies make up the world, pain makes gifts

In a utilitarian society, Godot is a tragedy.
I believe that from the beginning of the film, everyone should be on the side of the male protagonist, the male protagonist who succeeded in taking care of the family, Godot's unusual contact, coupled with the male protagonist’s preconceived views to induce the audience...
Then, the film began to reverse, everyone found that Simon did not It is not without flaws, and Godot is not as "weird" as he imagined. If the hero is judged by success or failure, and the result is success, the male protagonist is undoubtedly successful. He can preach “Don’t always be trapped in the past, crying on the ground” “Because he trapped himself, I am not, so I walked out In the past,
the incident of the loss of the dog and the death of the fish caused a small reversal in the event of "Facing Weizhen" , which made people start to look at Godot and sympathize with the male protagonist.
When the past and the past are gradually revealed, it is discovered that the male protagonist "is worthy of the crime" and Godot "rewarded for revenge." However, the male protagonist could have simply resolved it when he was young, or sincerely apologized after he grew up. The “retaliation” of the colleague Godot is also limited. For the male protagonist, another lie is used to torture the male protagonist’s soul. The contrast between the two aspects also made most viewers believe that the ending is Happy end—that is, Godot did not have a heroine.
In fact, I want to say that what this film wants to convey is much gentler. From Godot's point of view, complaining is not as good as others. However, in the real world, Simon is often in charge, Godot is submerged in the world and spends his life mediocrely. And the current society basically recognizes Simon's success...Who dare to say that he has never played tricks in his career? (Finally, I planted myself with forgery)
Of course, after all, forgery is illegal, and retaliation is not a method that should be promoted. The film uses these methods to express the good and evil of human nature, struggle, and shout.
