Loneliness is the norm in life

Let's take a guess at the director's true intentions.
The film begins with a sexual affair in a remote alley. Every sexual affair becomes a new beginning of pain. What should have been an elegant and emotional event turned into a scene under Mike Lee's lens. Rough and annoying. These rough movements and personal pain continue to entangle, eventually forming a huge vortex that keeps everyone out of the way, except, of course, John's ex-girlfriend. We can imagine that this is a bystander set up by the director, who is watching all this from a place that no one else can reach. However, there is still an endless and undeniable sense of loneliness after a sexual affair. The male No. 2 in the film has a strong appearance and cannot be violated. However, he still prefers SM when he is with women. We can imagine that he is actually a The other side of John, and of course the man John met after he left his girlfriend's house, who came to Manchester from the countryside and accidentally lost his girlfriend on the street, was rude when he found her. All the male protagonists in the film are set by Mike Lee as slightly violent characters, and the targets of this violence are weak women. This is undoubtedly what people call a transfer of the target of violence. When he was beaten by a group of hooligans on the Internet, it made people feel that he was so weak. They seek balance by shifting their dissatisfaction with the status quo to weak women, where they seek long-lost emotions.
From the beginning to the end, John has been promoting his own 1999 theory of extinction, which is undoubtedly a ridicule by Mike Lee about the living conditions of modern people. This theory was elevated to a climax when John met the vigil cops. John's point of view begins with his theories of extinction and ends with a little bit of dissatisfaction with the British political system. The vigil policeman has low self-esteem but has secret desires. His wife is separated from him for a long time. The vigil policeman has a habit of peeping at the ladies on the opposite floor. (In fact, everyone is voyeuristic, but we may have different ways and different purposes. The vigil police spy on the lives of women in the neighboring building through the window. And we use movies or more channels to pry into other people's privacy.)
When John went to tease the women in the adjacent building, it was so easy to succeed. This will be the most lowly sex era, and it will undoubtedly emphasize the aggravation of the loneliness of the modern urban crowd. When the woman took off her clothes, John stared at it for a long time. The woman's tattoos and wrinkled skin were in a daze, and the weightlessness of the Oedipus complex eventually led John to flee in a hurry. Before leaving, he did not forget to take a book from the woman's table. John was then given the ambivalence of a cultural hooligan. This is further reflected in John's house in the coffee shop waitress. The only traditional woman in the film is here. Although it is only a very simple fragment, we can still clearly see that if John hides his rogue color , pretending to be an intellectual who is thoroughly familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, the waitress will definitely talk to John about a Qiongyao-style love, of course, these are all pranks.
John mentioned in one of his conversations with the police that we are not that important, we are just a bunch of rubbish. Maybe this is really worth a good taste of what it really means.
At the end of the film, John was beaten by a group of hooligans, and after returning to his girlfriend's house, he was hugged and cried, which made John start to reflect a little, and began to be afraid, not believing that anyone, including him, would always hang up. The 1999 extinction theory on the lips. However, in the early morning of the next day, we still see John taking cash from his girlfriend's table and limping onto the street. We know John's foot will heal in a few days, and life always goes on, and we know, well, it's just a movie, just a great joke by Mike Lee.
