If you turn the head of the note around (180 degrees) and then connect it to the tail, you will find that the inside and outside can be connected. This is the famous Mebius ring.
Use scissors to cut a circle in the center of the ordinary paper ring, and then cut the original ring into two narrower paper rings, the width of which is half of the original, and the length remains the same. But if you cut a Mebius ring in the same way, you won't get two rings, but a larger paper ring, a ring twisted twice!
A lot of black humor uses the ring of Mebius. The protagonists are busy with constant twists and turns, but in the end, nothing seems to have changed, and everything they do seems to be useless. From a ring to a ring, start = end. Coincidence, absurdity, helplessness, ridicule, in reality dramatize the bizarre interest of many coincidences, bizarre fun produces all kinds of jokes, jokes are mixed with helplessness, and helplessness is accompanied by ridicule. He watched, smiled on his mouth, and calmed down. At this time, they are no longer the same ring.
One gambling, two robberies, three gangs of robbers, four Xiaoqiang, countless jokes. The unfinished dream of getting rich, from the beginning there is no money, to the end there is still no money (although the ending is open-ended, but personally feel that Tom will throw away the grab and answer the phone). The strong British London accent matches the black humor style of the whole film. Saying funny lines in calm, serious British English gives people a strong sense of contrast and has a funny effect, like a funny-looking big drug lord calmly claiming that he does not sell drugs. When collecting money violently, the collector Charles used a serious tone to teach little Charles not to speak bad words. The coincidence of the two and three forms the line of the story. The lender Harry wants to get a bar, and Eddie, the son of the bar owner, happens to come to gamble. The stupid thief stole the gun, but happened to sell the real antique gun. The antique gun happened to fall into the hands of Tom who didn't know antiques. The drug dealer dog robbed the pharmacist of the big drug lord, and the top four robbed the gang of drug dealer Dog and wanted to sell the cannabis through the Greek nike, but it happened that Nike sold it to the big drug lord, the real owner of marijuana. The drug dealer Dog found out that the Four Little Strong had robbed their goods and prepared to ambush the Four Little Strong. It happened that the big drug lord who came to ask the guilt came in. Charles, who happened to be passing by Eddie's hut, took the money from the big drug lord. In order to save his life, the stupid thief came to the harry sex shop, and happened to kill Harry and Harry’s assistant, Barry, who hired them to rob, and then the four Xiaoqiang happened to come to the harry sex shop and got the money from the big drug lord for the second time, and Tom got it again. The big smoke gun. Because of the dog, Charles got the money from the big drug lord from the top four. In the end, it just so happens that Tom may throw away their last chance to make money because of the San Xiaoqiang's phone call.
The whole film is full of Mebius-style black humor, and everyone does their own little things, but it causes a lot of chaos. Some people died because of themselves. Following the mainstream morality, it shows the chaotic things in the chaotic neighborhoods of London. It is also a ring of Mebius. Doing and not doing have the same result, but one has a rich process, and the other does not.
