The whole film is dark and depressing. Although there is a bright yellow background and light, it is like a dying, gloomy corpse whispering in a low voice. When I see the introduction is a comedy, I am actually stunned. The idea of reading to understand the development of the plot has also been severely suppressed. Life is bitter and boring enough. I don't want to relive the depressed mood again. I always need happiness and excitement.
“The sitter is lovely”
"We are constantly competing just for a little food on the table"
The operation of capital without regard to the future; the variables in a peaceful life; traffic jams for a long time; dismissed and bullied for no reason, the indifference of bystanders; the old furniture dealer (father) who set fire to his property, and finally rescued several books They all turned into a bag of black ashes and vanished; the eldest son went crazy writing poems and was sent to a mental hospital.

His father shouted "Who can save him!" and then went to The church sought help from the priest, but the priest was also in a crisis of property. There was nothing he could do, and everyone was in danger. Just like the social situation at that time, people beat the people in front of them and moved forward with difficulty. Stock prices fell, people lost their jobs, and they went on strike. The society fell into great chaos, and the authorities also let the fate of the gods, powerless, and finally chose to sacrifice a little girl to pray for the fate of heaven, who can save this society? !

Like an infinite loop.
In the end, the wealthy businessman dumped the piles of wooden Jesus statues in the garbage dump, and the old furniture merchants also came. The wealthy businessman cursed himself for this loss-making business, lamented that he had not caught up with the trend of the times, and cursed, "Who would believe that a man trapped in a What about the loser on the cross?!

"The streets seem to be empty, why are people moving in one direction and where are they going?"
"Life is a market, we buy and sell each other just for an extra zero in the bank account, just to eat better"
