Everyone is a mixture of contradictions, but Jake is more like the contradiction itself. He is dull but eager to hook up with girls. He is good at drawing but hides his paintings in the basement. He imagines himself to be a handsome and confident man. But he was addicted to sweets, and at the same time, he was disgusted by the ice cream that he liked so much. This subtle sweetness made him drift away from reality and reminded him how such a sense of happiness was false. While resenting the indelible impact of his flawed family of origin on him, he fantasizes that adults should be responsible for their own character. He can imagine everything beautiful, but he can't touch this beauty, even if it is a beautiful corner. He tried to kill his fantasy self, but not to embrace reality, but to desire to possess the beauty in fantasy. In the end, the paradox stripped away everything, and followed the guidance of the disgusting pig in his mind into the applause of the crowd, but that could only It's an imagination. I tend to think that this is not reconciliation but self-destruction. After all, in the end, only he himself led other "people" to applaud him. The movie itself is too stream-of-consciousness, more like a cut and pieced text, which makes people confused even with the blessing of performances and lines.
