Interesting movie, Lao Tuo's text is really a lot of mystery, and can only be analyzed from a personal point of view.
I feel that the protagonist symbolizes the real self, the twin symbolizes the self known or expressed by the outside world, and the heroine symbolizes the outside world. The protagonist can only convey information and express himself through the twins, and the twins attract everyone through exaggeration and routines (because the outside world is represented by women, so this paragraph also teaches some girl-picking skills), even in order to satisfy the performance and encroachment The desire for more resources deceives others and violates the rights of others (including the male protagonist (self)), while the female protagonist is the symbol of the whole outside world and the main source of conflict in the story. The outside world (the female protagonist) likes the male protagonist, but The male protagonist can only be known and understood through the performance of the twins, so the male protagonist decides to kill the external self (twin), but the twins are connected with himself, so he reborn himself through suicide, trying to express his true self.
In the last paragraph, the male protagonist also asked the audience whether this situation is common, and I just wanted to answer that there are some! But from a dystopian perspective, the male protagonist wants to be unique.
I think the whole depressive plot is a bit similar to Osamu Dazai's feeling, that is, the outside world just likes me as I act out, and I have never really been liked. I think the film also wants to discuss what is real and how to make others feel real, whether to cater to others (through a film to express the incomplete real self) or maintain the self (but the outside world cannot understand and it is difficult to be respected).
Anyone who has spent a little bit of psychology-related articles knows that people's understanding of others is always one-sided (halo effect, primacy effect), and perhaps a complete definition of others through some characteristics, which is the root of the whole problem. , because our knowledge is limited, so what we try to perform is also limited and good, and the real self cannot and cannot be fully recognized by others in terms of social norms, so this is unsolvable.
It’s a very good movie, a little weird but not scary. I think the imagery is wonderful. At first, it was very depressing. I thought the movie wanted to talk about the repressive working environment in the Soviet Union.
PS: Personally, I think this drama is the peak of the beauty of the West ~
