This is a movie about the politics and economy of the contemporary world. It uses a lot of metaphors. I only found a few clues to share with you:
1. The tramp. Using a familiar word, which symbolizes "feudalism", the first time, a steel pipe was used to attack the male protagonist at the dock; the second time, a cold gun was placed in the forest, and the male protagonist's father quickly lay down. The third time, the man was shot in the calf by a homeless man at the door of the apartment; the fourth time, the hero used the heroine's father (a grandson of general Jewish descent) Fat Man) stabbed the tramp to death with a dagger from Corsica - the very end of continental feudalism by Napoleon from Corsica.
2. The 80-year-old father of the male protagonist has been criticizing the working methods of modern people and expressing incomprehensible - the real capitalism and market economy have disappeared, and the 08 financial crisis has shown a semi-monopoly financial oligarchy scam. The bubble burst.
3. Swiss-made bed sheets are the best, because there are fewer people during the day and more at night. Later, someone corrected it, wasn't it Iceland? On the one hand, aging Europe only knows to "sleep", on the other hand, it implies hundreds of millions of "dark" deposits in Swiss banks, and Iceland, as everyone knows, was the first country to go bankrupt in the financial crisis.
4. The adopted Chinese girl, the film critic gave her a lot of features at the end, and showed that she is standing up and learning to walk, which means that China has a bright future as a big country in the new world "family" member.
5. The dictator is broken and the candy inside is spilled. Very obvious, not explaining.
There are also some other clues, such as the heroine wearing chinoiserie pajamas, the hero's brother enjoying a strange erotic service (lying like a massage, then masturbating with the help of a dancer) with a member of the Chinese embassy, etc. There are too many strange things about this film, and it cannot be simply attributed to the description of the confused and anxious hearts of American young people.
Of course, this is just an idea of the author. I hope that high-level fans can give this film a more accurate interpretation.
