I believe that many people have had this feeling in their hearts, and Senuel's biggest problem is that he has never felt happiness, so destroying the happiness of others has become his reason for living. In the end, it has a lot to do with his unhappy childhood.
There are many scenes between him and his dying mother in the film, which can be said to have deep meaning. Is the tears flowing from the corners of the mother's eyes, is it just a guilt for her son, or is it an atonement for herself for leaving the scourge of the world? Although the film does not discuss this aspect too much, it gently reveals a corner to focus on the psychopathic process of the male protagonist. Still a great director.
In life, we will hate the rich, we will admire the rich and handsome, and the rich and beautiful. To put it bluntly, it is a yearning for their lives, and hating them is a vent and dissatisfaction with their own living conditions. Whether it is voyeuristic or other perverted behavior, the target will always be someone who is better off than us. rather than street beggars. Therefore, Senuel's behavior is a concentrated expression of a serious psychological distortion of a representative person in the current urban population. In fact, he hated everyone in the apartment, including the female tenant who always smiled at him. When people expressed their condolences to his dismissal, he still spoke coldly and sarcastically, because he didn't like seeing smiles. To base the suffering of others on one's own happiness, in today's society, can urban people say that there is no such thing?
There's a demon living inside each of us, and it's not just called Senuel. If we allow negative emotions like S, jealousy, resentment, etc. to develop, it is only a matter of time before some of the scenarios described in the film become reality!
