1. The girl who
is recruited is the supporter imagined by the protagonist, that is, the protector, so that he will not think about the mistakes he has made and live a peaceful life, but due to the continuous impact of the plot of the matter, he finally has to leave. The so-called asylum seekers (who break down after a big fight in the film) face real reality.
2. The waitress in the coffee shop (the incarnation of the mother of the dead child)
is a character imagined by the protagonist to make up for it. Every time, she will order coffee at that coffee shop without eating, and then leave a lot of tips and then walk away. I hope that the mother who lost her child will give her some forgiveness, so as to reduce her guilt, but in the end, she can't make up for the mistakes she made at the beginning. .
3. Ai Wen
is a character that the protagonist imagines to remind himself of the murder at all times. He keeps reminding him again and again that he could have surrendered successfully, but the protagonist realized something, because he was afraid that he chose to avoid showing it again (after reporting the crime in the film, the accident was found After the vehicle is his own, he escaped here), but at the last layer of the veil, the veil was lifted step by step, and the protagonist, who still refused to admit, tried to kill Ai Wen to completely obliterate his guilt. But justice does not die. The "Who are you?" in the film made the protagonist fully realize that he could not escape, and finally surrendered to the police station. Can finally sleep" ended his escapism.
The constant display of 1:30 in the film is also a constant reminder of the fact that he committed a crime. When he is with the waitress in the coffee shop who is incarnated by his mother, the time will never change from 01:30:01~01:30:02. , which also shows the fact that the protagonist will never jump over the hurdle if he does not surrender himself. Only redemption can lead to liberation.
The sins committed by human beings cannot be silently erased. He will live in your heart and remind you of your sins until the end. There are thousands of ways to be truly liberated only by facing up to yourself, not escaping, and daring to atone for your sins. Otherwise, just like the time in the film, it will always be the same, jumping between 01:30:01~01:30:02, forever. forever. . . .
