Half a good movie, one MV

Half a good movie. Several robbery scenes in the first half are very good-looking, and the scheduling of the shots and the actions of the characters are all in perfect harmony with the music. The audience is excited, engaged, just immersed in the atmosphere and rhythm created by the film.

In the second half, the protagonist encounters problems, and when the pace of the film slows down, various problems are exposed. For example, the male protagonist listens to music with headphones cool all day long, and the explanation in the film is to cover up his tinnitus, but he can hear and remember what other people say word for word, which is difficult to explain. Well, he's very talented. So how did his dazzling driving skills come about? With the painful memory of losing his parents in a car accident, doesn't he have a psychological rejection and fear of cars? The male protagonist's love for the female protagonist can be understood as an Oedipus complex, because the female protagonist looks very much like the male protagonist's mother. But why does the heroine fall in love with the hero so much that she is willing to run away with him? The boss of the male protagonist originally looked ruthless, but as soon as he saw the desperate little mandarin ducks of the male protagonist and the female protagonist, he was immediately willing to throw blood for them. The aura of the protagonist was too dazzling. These are important questions that the film does not answer. It's the movie's job, and the audience isn't obligated to fill in the gaps in characters and plot.

The final chase scene is even more chaotic and illogical. The male protagonist has always seemed to not know what to do, and the villain died in the end because the screenwriter took the lead.

There is no reason for the character's behavior, the story has no logic, there is only music and gorgeous shots, this is a MV at all.
