Emma or Sisyphus

Old Bai is Madame Bovary, which is so interesting. A particularly obvious symbol is "start all over again". His tragedy is that the world is too tacky, and the point is: too boring.

Everyone wants to worry about you, judge you, and doesn't allow you to worry about your own. Nothing can go your way, so in episode 13, only 10 million old whites are left rolling his bucket in the desert. So, old white, how can you expect others to follow your heart?

The significance of Laobai's cross-generation is that he is an ordinary person with many flaws, such as eating garlic, not washing his feet before going to bed, struggling with trivial sense of powerlessness, and being as hypocritical as his ordinary people, always speaking for the family, Baopingke Man, brother-in-law, a lie, he doesn't really care, he can't care. It's called an anti-hero.

Using one nasty gang to deal with another nasty gang, you can't control it, because you can't find a gangster who is disciplined, neat, and doesn't ask much. Those are all works of art. In "The Godfather", there is panic about the rise of the white powder generation, that is, the unpopular generation. In this film, they have become mainstream.

What makes Jesse Pinkman unique is not that his conscience remains intact. It's because he has become bored in the world and has developed into a disease, and he feels guilty for worrying about other people's hearts. It's all about boredom and blaming others for the sins that you really committed. So he deserves pity, even a little lovable. Like Lao Bai's sister-in-law, her boredom is nothing special.

A metaphor for the world: meeting in a coffee shop, talking with their backs to their backs, not showing "professional", but just comical. Just like when we send flowers, we don't feel romantic. Also like we use hair wax, we can never get the effect of hair brother, Guorong, Dehua and Chaowei.
