Life is precious, love is more expensive, if it is freedom, both can be thrown away

After reading it, I feel that I have grasped something, record the various metaphors that have appeared in general, and straighten it out to see what I want to express. The posters and swimming pools are easy to understand and too lazy to remember.

One man and three women The man symbolizes supremacy, one woman symbolizes love, one woman symbolizes power and wealth (a prostitute who can be hired by money), and one woman symbolizes the true self (light-hearted dialogue, joyful rhythm from the heart) Three pieces The world the billboards see with their glasses - the world they see without their glasses - everything they seek is absurdity Keep quiet Symbols of silent, powerless, useless resistance, we are all wanderers over and over again The black robe and the masked woman appearing symbolize the persecution in the real world. The dog food biscuits symbolize the only remaining thoughts and hopes. The king symbolizes the true self—the inner king leads him to find freedom. In the end, his lover compromises, and the king binds himself and warns him. It is explained that the parrot cannot escape the confinement of the cage from the initial carefree to the hoarse screaming to the final tragic cry, and finally fails to escape the confinement of the cage, which is in contrast to the final release of the male protagonist. In this materialistic world, the various rules and regulations of society are like shackles, dizzy and dizzy, like Hollywood mountains, imprisoned in despair. Composers are sitting on wealth, fame and fortune. Only when they die, they realize that they are nothing but dream bubbles. In fact, nothing has ever happened. Once owned, the novelist has no guts, everything is ready, but he is reluctant to take that step, pinning his hopes on others to explore the way first, willing to imprison himself in a cage until his death, the only friend who is good at making fun of hardships and taking it for granted , The male protagonist pursues the murderer who kills the cat, pursues the person he loves, pursues the true self, and pursues freedom. In the end, he finds that the murderer is everyone, and the person he loves has his own pursuit (even if he may regret it, he can only compromise), The truth that I think is actually an over-interpretation is all my own delusions (or self-righteousness), and the funny thing is that life is so ridiculous - I am afraid that the only way to get real freedom and the sublimation of the soul is liberation.
