The tenth episode of Fly is really a TM bunker! Completely independent as a two-act play.

Resisting the groggy and rambled endless dialogue, I found that there is something special, and it has the taste of existential drama.


On the surface, this episode is about old white swatting flies, but in fact this is just the first layer of Russian dolls.

The second layer is Laobaizhisang scolding Huai: in order to cover up the fact that they are stealing a small amount of money in the closely monitored drug lab (final dialogue in the parking lot, "Once they find out I may not be able to protect you"), use flies/pollution The object refers to Xiaofan, and the subtext is a showdown with him. Only after cleaning up these problems can the work be restarted.

But combined with the night before the conversation between the two, Lao Bai struggled to slaughter flies, saying that he was simply doing a show for Brother Fried Chicken to pave the way for tomorrow's big show, which seemed a bit exaggerated. So try to dig deeper:

flies, as clues throughout the whole work, are actually a symbol of contamination of soul for Lao Bai. Lao Bai would not allow the slightest bit of uncleanness to contaminate his working environment, and it was in vain to smack flies in the net. In the end, it's all polluted, forget it. ——Just as he repeatedly struggled and regretted that he was not "that kind of people" and refused to join Fried Chicken, and now he is working for him and watching Jane die in order to protect himself, it is difficult for him to clarify. Clean yourself up.

Another meaning of the fly, such as its compound eyes contains 4,000 monoculars that can be independently imaged, can see almost 360° things, and also metaphors the eyeliner and power range of the fried chicken brother (can be seen from the old white in the parking lot to the small one. I found the hint in what the fan said, and I was worried that the drug room would be monitored).

In fact, whether the fly is a symbol of contamination caused by conscience torture, or a metaphor for the power of fried chicken, it is always buzzing and haunting, reminding its existence, keep eyes on them, even if it is a safe bed You can still see it staring at itself in the dark.

As for the crisis symbolized by the fly itself, at the right time, Xiaofan can use the newspaper in his pocket to deal with it (I don't know if it indicates the future of the plot).

A single episode can be so detailed, nested layer by layer, and even elevated to philosophical discussion, allowing people to savour the unique taste. No wonder the poison master took the golden ball and got it soft. Bravo!
