I think like this, and it is completely in line with the movie's setting and logical relationship. I feel that if the normal timeline should be like this:

Fred is a jazz musician facing a mid-life crisis in real life. He is suffering from the stress of mid-life crisis and the weakness of his own character. In a fit of rage, he killed Andy and Dicolo (the black boss), and Fred eventually went to jail. (The above is just my actual conjecture based on the combination of the plot after watching the movie. As for why there is such a conjecture, I will explain it later)

Fred, who was in prison, always thought that he was framed and killed his wife, but in fact it was not. One of the details can be seen that when Freddy asked the guard for aspirin, the guard's dialogue was very helpful Explain the problem, "The wife murderer looks very uncomfortable", "Which one do you mean?" Then they smiled knowingly. I guess it should be Fred during the interrogation, who often explained that he did not kill his wife to become the relationship between them. It's a stalk, so if it's really as we see it, then this conversation is obviously different.

Fred's dreams and insanity, which the movie lets us see in terms of his vision:

Someone secretly filmed the life of the Fred family, and the third volume of the tape found that he had killed his wife, was taken to prison, and on the way they went to a party, and Fred and Manson played. The man who had an inexplicable conversation (an hallucination in a dream) in which the couple went home and asked the reason for the acquaintance between the wife and Andy, and the wife's avoidance question obviously did not conform to the logic of reality (previously a actress), indicating that Freddie subconsciously knew that his wife had a less than decent past and may have a relationship with Andy. This may also be Fred's insecurities that led him to kill. In fact, there may be a relationship between his wife and Andy. It's not that there is such a relationship, or that the character that his wife was an actress before was also thought up by Fred himself!

Among them, in Fred's dream, there is such an interesting scene: because they were secretly filmed, they chose to call the police. When the police entered the room, his wife also said "he hates cameras", (some friends in this episode are different The explanation, but I think the tape incident exists, but the content is not necessarily true, as for why, I will explain later, Fred has subconsciously determined that his wife's past is the experience of an actress (I don't have an answer at the moment. ), but according to movie logic, Fred's wife cheated.

Back when Fred was in prison, Fred had a headache. When he woke up, the protagonist changed from Fred to a young Peter. He was put into the detention center for stealing a car. This should be the most embarrassing point for everyone. But I feel that all this should be a dream of Fred in prison. In the dream, Peter's character reflects Fred's heart in many aspects, and his sexual ability is very strong. The wife's bitter sex scene, and only a misdemeanor, had been freed, showing the freedom Fred longed for.

Among the series of stories about a woman whose wife Peter and his wife are very similar (Annis), it also presents a relatively perfect ending in the end (they ran away with money and ended up in the desert xxx), but the director also It took a lot of interludes to explain the crime scene where Fred killed Andy and the black boss. When Annis said "you will never get me", Peter became Fred, and from The dream came to reality again. At the time of the crime, Fred killed the black boss, and a fire burned his house in the desert. The camera turned again when the police saw the photo of Fred's wife and Andy. It was only when I thought of Fred's possible motive for committing the crime, which also proved that the police had indeed been to Fred's house because of the tape incident, and the movie ended in a chase scene we saw later.

So the story itself is like this, but the combination of David's dream and reality and some flashbacks made some friends see it in a fog. Hole. Awesome
