The cinematography is superb, and the Beethoven music gives the entire film a depressing and grim feeling. ED is a small person, and even a small barber shop can only be second-in-command. He seems to be silent, but he is not satisfied that the status quo needs to be changed. The reason is that his wife is having an affair. The method is to blackmail his wife's affair object, which is her boss, and use the extortion money to invest in a dry cleaning shop. As a result, his partner was mistaken by the boss for sending an extortion letter. The person was killed, and he himself killed the other party in self-defense when he was attacked by the boss, (the reason why the boss attacked him is probably that the boss killed the partner and got the money back, thinking that the ED did not get the money and would choose to report him having an affair, so he started first ) but led to his wife being arrested. After his wife knew the truth, she chose to commit suicide out of guilt and love for him to protect him. He still insisted that his wife did not love him, so that he had reason to pursue a new meaning in life. A young girl, A girl who seems to have a talent for music, he wants to be her economic person, if the girl really becomes a musician in the future, he can also realize his own value. But to his disappointment, the girl is not a genius, it is impossible to become a musician, the girl herself does not like music, and she is not so pure, and she is ready to repay him in an adult way. What is even more tragic is that this way of repayment He couldn't cooperate (ED is also an abbreviation for a disease), which may also be the reason for his wife's affair. In the end, he was accused of murdering his partner (the murderer should be the boss who was extorted by him). No, the punishment that should be received is the same, and it also led to the loss of life of three people before and after. Just like his brother-in-law asked him what kind of man are you? What kind of man are you? He seems to have existed, he also wanted to struggle, and he wanted to struggle, but in the end, he went back and forth and returned to the starting point, no Any change, he seems to exist, but it doesn't seem to be there all the time. Just like The Man Who Wasn't There.
The place where he shaves his legs at the end echoes the fact that he shaves his wife's legs at the beginning of the film. At that time, his wife said that he loved him, but he did not respond. If he responded at that time and loved her, would that change all of this? He chose silence again at that time and was absent from the conversation. And this time he can't be absent any more. Whether it's heaven or hell, he has to face his wife, face the boss of his wife's affair, face everything, and solve it.
