1. Although some film critics have elevated the film to the director's level of criticism of the entire industrial society civilization, the film's own narrative and all psychoanalysis are still limited to the male protagonist himself. These distortions and killings only come from a deliberately shaped mental illness ( And we don't even get a deeper interpretation of his etiology, even if it's just talking about the evil of human nature, it doesn't discuss anything); maybe the director wants to write a video version of "Modernity and the Holocaust", but in my opinion His efforts were unsuccessful

2. The narrative skills are very mature, and there are many subtle metaphors, but the story itself is not convincing. The victims and the police in the film are extremely mentally retarded.

3. Before the visual hell at the end I thought I was wasting two and a half hours muttering an advanced Hitler-Nietzschean combination.… the hell trip was quite unexpected. ,interesting

4. It's 2018, how can anyone still play Freud here?

5. Bruno Ganz, you are a miserable clergyman. When you were an angel, you smashed your head from a falling object. When you played a guide in hell, you had to personally lead people to climb up and down. Comrade God, caring civil servants are from me. rise!
