Filth--Reflect on and Fight against Your Dark Spirit

Jaylen 2022-08-02 13:24:21

What led to the tragedy of Bruce's life was probably the "rules of the game" he often talked about. Whenever Bruce suffers psychologically, a white coat will appear. This strange doctor is a "roundworm" parasitic in the male body and often makes him "self-examination": winning is more important than everything; no one in the world can trust him, including himself. The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit; through natural selection, the fittest survives. If you don't want to be someone else's prey, you have to become a target hunter.

Therefore, in order to achieve his goal, Bruce is always unscrupulous. He persuaded himself to keep climbing up, thinking that his wife would change her mind, but he didn't know that the most important thing to maintain the family was not only love, but also trust. Does Bruce really not understand? Maybe not. The ending of the film is intriguing but not commendable, and I leave it to everyone to experience it for themselves. This film is like a diary of self-analysis, allowing you to face the unbearable side of life. You and I are both mortals, and we have been fighting against the dark side of our own spirit all our lives. Only by standing side by side in the darkness and looking forward can we walk on the bright pilgrimage road.

Filth quotes

  • Bruce Robertson: See, every time a woman drops her trousers: promotion. Every time a man drops theirs: disciplinary action. Where's the equality in that?

  • Bruce Robertson: The games are always, repeat always, being played. But nobody plays the games like me. Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson, soon to be Detective Inspector Bruce Robertson. You just have to be the best, and I usually am. Same rules apply.
