1. Absurdity with a bit of Quentin flavor 1. Absurdity based on violence. There's nothing innovative about the way it is told, but it's fascinating. There is an unknown sense of destiny, you never know what will happen in the next second, because everyone has a wonderful universe that cannot be explored. Lord, run thousands of miles just to fire two shots, turn your head and leave, this kind of rational killing game. . Absurd, but in the world of personal survival, it is correct. Sometimes reality hits you like this, and you can only face it in an absurd way, because reality itself is absurd. 2. The life of not knowing what will happen in the next second
We don't know what's going to happen in the next second in our life, and this kind of life is real. Who likes to always know the next step? That's a programmed machine, anti-life.
The protagonist was bored at home eating takeaways, and this kind of life had no life and passion. The narrator says that he is a killer, and the identity tension between Diaosi and the killer is expressed by the narration method, which is not very clever. The ripples of fate made him enter another track, then another, and then another, gradually feeling a different life and experiencing a different world, so we got a glimpse of the meaning of his life! He felt the affection of his friend, he felt the affection of his friend's girlfriend. There is a fulcrum in what he does. He's become a human, he's no longer an emotionless delivery machine. You see, this is what makes a person truly human because of the fluidity and unknowability of fate
The two twin killers are the highlight. Starting from the mechanic who shrunk in more than a dozen square meters, they are obsessed with the titles of different positions in large companies. They chase their dreams and experience the pleasure and meaning of each position. Finally died. If that's all, it's just a mediocre plot, but the director designed it as a twin, and let the other person run away with money after seeing his brother's tragic death. In an instant, this character comes alive. The real black humor is to laugh at human nature. of unreliability.
Another example is the red hat who wanted to wash his hands in a golden pot, but never really retired. His character consists of two parts: retirement and maintaining his status in the arena. Therefore, he chose to kill those who disturbed the order and re-emerge in the arena. There is a psychological basis. When he was on the rise in his career, we didn't know when he wanted to stop. After he stopped, we didn't know when he wanted to come back. Even when he went into the house to get a wine glass, we didn't know he would take a gun. .
No one knows what to do in the next second when a change comes. This is the charm of life, and it also creates a bizarre and absurd life. This is actually Quentin's narrative card.
2. Order and Fate
I think the main theme of the story is the unreliability of order.
Red Hat was sitting in a daze in a stereo store, just like our diaosi actor sitting in a rental house, unintentionally getting involved in an order, unintentionally breaking the old order, and then establishing a new order, so he thought he was the eternal creator of order . The diaosi actor just walked his way all over again.
If we zoom in and see, the history of civilization into the city has continued to this day in such an unreliable order. For example, Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, thought that he had created an eternal order and a permanent state. .
Therefore, through history, we find that the change of order is the fate of human beings. But people are always unaware that order exists before people, and there is a lack of reverence for him. Play with fire and set yourself on fire. Because human nature is inherently greedy and arrogant, repeatedly playing with fire in front of order has become a kind of fate.
This order can also be replaced by a law.
3. Impermanence and Compassion
After realizing this law, what do you think of human nature?
While challenging the order, there is still care and love between people. The director's attitude towards this matter is sympathetic, which is expressed through the short girlfriend. The protagonist gave her all the money, and we see the brightness of humanity here.
In the last shot, the idea was high. She was driving on the road at night, welcoming lights and darkness of different colors, shining on her calm face. She leaves with her unborn child and the care and love of the protagonist.
You know, all these stories only happened within a few months before a child was born.
Let's just say life is so fucking attractive!
