After reading some film reviews, I am very helpless, because I can't answer my questions. It seems that many people do not pay attention to the details, and they will not write too many reviews. I only provide some details and my views, and hope to discuss together.
1. Who is Uncle? What is the purpose of his appearance? Three details should be paid attention to:
1. Uncle has always had abnormal wrinkles on his face. It is more obvious when playing chess with An Sheng's mistress, so I suspect that Uncle has changed his face or put on makeup.
2. The relationship between him and An Sheng's mistress is unusual. It can be inferred when the two play chess, whether it can be inferred that he is An Sheng himself, and the mistress was not surprised when she heard of An Sheng's death.
3. When Uncle asked Ah Yi to take the tranquilizer, they were in the same room, Uncle kept his back to Ah Yi, but after Ah Yi slammed the door, Uncle walked in from outside. This is unreasonable. Does the plot prove that there are two uncles, one true and one false, is the false one An Nisheng? In addition, Uncle undressed and murdered, revealing the face of a muscular man, but he did not have a tattoo, which proved that the muscular man was not An Sheng himself, because the leader of the Japanese underworld could not have no tattoos.

2. Who is the boy who turned back in the ending? A few details to think about:
1. The details of the rape that Ah Yi recalled are different from the boy who appeared in the recollection of An Sheng’s mistress. Uncle showed the photo of Ah Yi to his mistress, and then the mistress She seemed to be hypnotized, and then she looked at Hajime as she recalled the details of the rape, which should be Hajime in the photo. Can it be inferred that the image of Ah Yi in the film is just a cowardly image of his own imagination, in fact, his real appearance is the one in the memories of his mistress.
2. The boy who turned back at the end was similar to the boy in the recollection of his mistress after hypnosis. The boy was lame because of the gunshot wound on Ah Yi's leg.
In the ending, Uncle hanged himself, and Ah Yi turned back to his original appearance. Does it mean that Ah Yi has not been hypnotized by Uncle, so he has recovered the appearance of the deity? If there are two Uncles according to the analysis, after Ah Yi is out of hypnosis, he will The real uncle killed (and possibly An Sheng killed him), and An Sheng left the gang with the money he took from the gang and the money Suzuki gave him.

I hope you will add to your doubts!
