The theme of Peng Haoxiang's selection is very close to our life - forced demolition and housing prices. If you open the current newspapers, you can see news like this almost every day. So-and-so committed suicide and set herself on fire in order to resist ZF's forced demolition. It has become a normal thing for housing prices to continue to grow wildly. The higher the rise, the more fierce the scolding, but you still have to work hard to make money to realize your dream of buying a house.
In order to buy a sea-view house, the protagonist sacrifices her dignity, endures abuse from her clients (she is a salesman), and most morbidly, indirectly kills her father. When she was one step away from her dream, she was told that the owner would not sell it, so she had the intention to kill.
In fact, I think this is a bit absurd. The owners who lived in Victoria 1 died innocently, but then, in fact, this is the effect of the director pulling the gap between the rich and the poor to an extreme. Look at the people who died, there are mistresses Yes, promiscuity is not a good thing, but the protagonist works hard to make money just to live in this house, and I don't think those who were killed did not live in it through their own efforts, the mistress may have suffered Bribery, there is also a drug trade between those promiscuous men and women. Seeing this, I think that the director arranged them to end like this to tell us that what we don't get through our own efforts will not last long.
So what about the hard-working people, after the protagonist killed so many people, he was not punished by the law, and finally lived in the dream house, but then what?
At the end, there is a small detail. The porter said that if the cabinet is placed in the bedroom, the bed will not fit in. It can be seen that the room is very small. At the same time, the news of the financial crisis is broadcast on the TV, which means that the house price may fall. So from a certain point of view: Are those who were killed innocent? But look at now, house prices are still expensive, back to the opening sentence: a crazy city, if you want to survive, you have to be more crazy than it, I think this sentence is a bit hypocritical, but it's true, if you want to buy a house , we have to work hard to make money, but who can be sure that after finally saving money, house prices have risen again.
Gore is certainly a selling point of the film, but I think "we've become slaves to the house" is what this film is trying to tell us.
