The director looks up to himself

This film may have a high purpose. What is the contradiction between the inner self and society, what is social utility, material desire, money, what is the meaning of life...
In fact, I was also confused. In fact, at that time, it was because I was in the second year of high school and about to be in the third year of high school. I didn't want to study and didn't want to work hard, so I came to think about these for myself. Find reasons to slack off. The core question is what is the meaning of human existence? Later, my father told me that it was meaningless. I was stunned, I could say I had an epiphany, or I could explain how ridiculous I was. It just doesn't make sense, how? Is it really dead?
Maybe the director saw the sadness of modern people. In the end, the boss said that although the male protagonist has faith, it is precisely because of this belief that his life is meaningless and cannot be enjoyed. Therefore, it may be better to believe in others than in the world, and we must learn to save ourselves.
It's a surprise to see Matt Damon in it, I love him so much. But this film really reflects the weirdness of British thinking. Maybe the director is very rude, but he made a film that 95% of them can't understand or appreciate, which shows that there is something wrong with the artistic expression method he has chosen.
The director is really cheating. I remember I really liked it when I watched his 12 monkeys before, but I can't really appreciate this one due to my limited level. I would have given one star, but 2 stars.

The Zero Theorem quotes

  • Doctor: You're not dying. Although, in a way, from the moment of birth, we all begin to die. Call it divinely planned obsolence. Soon or late, beggar or king, death is the end of all things. While life might be seen as a virus infecting the perfect organism of death.

  • Qohen Leth: What kind of work do you do exactly?

    Bainsley: I shoot trouble
