It can be said that the whole film is a metaphor, but based on the background of this film, the existence of reality and reality is still for a reason, and it is relative. That is to say, killing or not killing, which one is more realistic and which is true.
A lot of people think that killing people is more justified, but when they encounter a place that doesn't make sense, they overturn this speculation, because once the speculation of killing people is taken as reality, people will take the whole movie as Patrick's truth. experience. But from the beginning of Patrick's selfie to the end of his ineffective confession, the film is first-person, which means it's completely subjective, so there's absolutely reason to guess that everything is a combination of reality and fiction, both real and unreal. But I feel more like this is not a guess.
From the beginning to the point where Patrick kills the call girl with a chainsaw to escape, it's all reality, at least it's quite logical and more objective than the second half, so I think if this movie needs to distinguish between reality and reality Unreal, even killing the call girl is a fact, that is to say, he killed Paul.
From the moment the cat is about to be shot but stopped by an old woman, everything starts to spiral out of control, and the plot gets more and more bizarre. From here, I feel like I've entered Patrick's personal world, which is illusory.
Don't you think it makes no sense for a police car to find him and start chasing him immediately after he kills someone? How could it be so fast? Even if the police car happened to be nearby, but there were no witnesses when he killed the old woman, the police car just parked where he was without error and immediately started to chase him? Or on a night with poor visibility? Of course, you can say that there is also such a possibility, continue to look down.
He fought with several cops, the cops died, the police car exploded, but he was fine? The police were also covered by police cars, and he was standing on the empty street without any cover. Is his marksmanship too good or the policeman's marksmanship too bad? And a tiny pistol can make a police car explode without catching fire? Even he himself looked at the gun in his hand in disbelief, and even he himself did not believe that he could do it. This is not only a suspicious point, but also a manifestation of black humor, and there is a lot of black humor in it.
When he ran to the building, he saw everyone killed, but he entered two buildings, there was no security at the entrance of the second building, and by then he had nearly collapsed, his face was flushed, his hands were shaking and he escaped from the pen . To say that there is no doubt, it is just that he entered two buildings in a row. It was too quiet. He was the only one who made big moves, which made him more dramatic. But when no one is working overtime at night, it is normal for the building to be quiet. It is just that the camera is watching The handling of shooting in one position seemed unusual to me at the time. You can leave it alone.
But then he went to his office, opened the window, there was a helicopter? ? So fast? American police move so fast? And the police who chased him at the beginning were all dead. How could it be possible to send a helicopter to hunt down a person whose identity, suspicion, and incident have not been determined so quickly? This is so unreasonable.
After contacting him, he called his lawyer to tell the whole truth. I think he has completely lost control at this time. He has fallen into his own world from the real world, which means that his heart has devoured him, and he has lost control over yourself. But a part of him still survived, which made him try his best to endure at the second security station, but finally succeeded in pulling out a pen instead of a gun, and also made him call his lawyer. The pursuit of the part that is out of control by the consciousness to control is his own pursuit of himself, otherwise it would be impossible to be so intensive, so fast and precise, but it would not hurt him in the slightest. It turned out that the helicopter did not have any effect on him after that.
Later, after he went to Paul's house, he called the secretary. He was so noisy, but the people around him were very calm and unreasonable, or maybe there were too many mental patients in the United States, so it was not surprising.
There is no need to be so entangled when the lawyer is called the wrong name. It is a metaphor. This movie is Patrick's subjective perspective, so he is called by many people by different names. This situation does exist in reality, and it is also his inner thoughts. He was confused about himself. He pursues materialism and appearance too much, and is diligent in shaping his external self. That is because he cannot see people from the inside, so he shows that he cares about his appearance all the time. Even if he is kicked by a call girl who runs away, he shouts not to kick his face.
But there is one thing, the performance of the old woman in Paul's house is very strange, I thought she looked like a more powerful murderer, but I can't see anything more, I can't understand that part, I missed something ? Who can answer?
