status and choice

I would think that this is a series of real things that a life does before dying. It is not about finding meaning or being unwilling and angry about such a death, but returning to life and doing something. Maybe the first film is about falling on sincerity. (However, the director himself emphasized the metaphysical meaning in the interview, but I think he is thinking about the state.) For some reason, the male protagonist has such a strong tolerance for pain, or he has already been numb by life and is not good at expressing emotions. , so there are behaviors that seem to be incomprehensible, such as obstructing the police and running to the bar. There is always an element in this director's films - there is an absolute threat to the continuation of the main character's life, or is this a change of status? Vitality fluctuates between strength and weakness, and man's choices are thus limited. Secondly, as emotions get closer to the depths, they are always handled in a surreal way. The inner emotions of the characters drawn out by this method are very similar to the subtleties that are revealed in many places in the film. Is it wrong to respond to emptiness and death with ardent truth? Did his thinking about the relationship between people come from the Bergman he liked or from himself? Did he find an explanation in Bergman again?
