When watching the first half of the movie, I was constantly amazed at the brain hole of the director and screenwriter - farting, spitting water, setting fire, chopping wood, shaving - it turns out that the Swiss Army Knife is so versatile (laughs). At first, I thought that the male protagonist was really trapped on a deserted island. It was not until he reached the female protagonist's house that he climbed a hill at the end. Only then did he realize that the male protagonist was not far from human society, and he suddenly realized that he committed suicide by hanging himself at the beginning. Trapped on a deserted island, the male protagonist was trapped in his heart. His inferiority complex and cowardice trapped him. He couldn't escape, so he wanted to end his life.
At this time, he encountered a corpse - a man who is omnipotent and can do whatever he wants - also the male protagonist's innuendo to his heart. The corpse can fart as much as he wants, and when he sees the person he likes, he will say that he wants to have sex with him, and then he will get an erection wantonly. All these are things that the male protagonist does not dare to do or face. The male protagonist doesn't even dare to admit that the woman on the phone screen has nothing to do with them. It can be said that the male protagonist is using the corpse to release himself.
The fragment of the two people living together in the middle can be said to be strange and romantic - the interlaced light and shadow on the "bus", the longing look of the corpse looking at the "view" outside the window, the shy face of the "woman", and " Friends" bonfire dinner - the male protagonist played by the corpse and the female protagonist played by the male protagonist lived a happy and happy life like a prince and a princess. All of this is the projection of the male protagonist's beautiful fantasy of his own life. Even the vague ambiguity revealed when the corpse and the male protagonist repeatedly looked at each other was also the male protagonist's fantasy about the relationship between him and the "female protagonist".
In the process of getting along with them, the corpse has mastered more and more skills, speaks more and more neatly, expresses more and more richly, and looks more and more like a living person. This probably implies that the male protagonist's heart is gradually coming to life - he, who originally wanted to end his life, slowly came to life in this illusory beauty.
When the male protagonist flipped through the photos of the female protagonist and finally decided to face the reality and admit that the female protagonist was actually just his crush, the body collapsed. Those who fight for it are just their own wishful thinking. This time, it was the corpse's turn to find the direction of life, and the corpse hoped to die again. This paragraph is like a reconciliation between the male protagonist and himself. He begins to admit that all this may be just his fantasy, that he relies on hallucinations to survive, and that he encounters the corpse for a sense of identity. In the dialogue with the male protagonist, the corpse decided to take the male protagonist to face it bravely, break the barriers and break the psychological defense line. So the corpse carried the male protagonist and came to the backyard of the female protagonist's house, but when he saw the female protagonist, the male protagonist still did not dare to face him, he was still cowardly and timid. The heroine looked at the corpse with doubts and fear, but without love and warmth, the corpse chose to die again. This world where he can't fart, spit water and erect, and can't stay with the person he likes, is not worth his life.
When the male protagonist looks at the indifferent things around him, the world has not changed, neither has he, and he is still out of tune with this world. He would rather die like a corpse again.
Maybe it is the success of self-redemption, maybe it is the abandonment of self-redemption. When the male protagonist released that fart in relief, it was his final response to the corpse: "If he has to hold his fart in front of his best friend, how many things does he have to hide from you?"
