The protagonist, the billionaire Lao Bai, has every job accurately sorted every day, and gradually loses his enthusiasm for life. Not only did he neglect his family, but he also developed a desire for control over his younger brother, which nearly broke the relationship between the two brothers. Lao Bai is not short of money, but he lacks a little enthusiasm beyond the boring life, lacks empathy for his brother and wife, and lacks the courage to walk out of the shadow of his father's suicide. The game designed by the organization disrupted the rhythm of his life and found the ultimate thrill in his tedious life. The quarrel with his brother also made him understand that everyone has their own life, not everyone should follow the set of standards for success in his heart, and he should not use this set of standards to ask his brother. . Indifference and alienation are Lao Bai's shell to protect himself. This time the game made him jump from the rooftop, smashing the glass and breaking the shell. The protagonist finally realized all this. He was no longer angry, but embraced his younger brother deeply, thanked every actor who participated in the game, and politely blessed his ex-wife with a new marriage. Signing an order with satisfactory payment ends the game. Mind games are responsive and will only give you what you're missing the most. The entire movie is played with games throughout. When everyone brings into the perspective of the protagonist and thinks that this is not just the game, but that there is a bigger conspiracy, it suddenly lets you know that you are still in the game. Everything is out of control, and everything is under control. The game not only plays the psychology of the protagonist, but also the psychology of the audience. Some gameplay clips are a bit far-fetched though. For example, how can a mental game organization ensure that the last shot of the protagonist is not a direct headshot? How can we be sure that the protagonist can escape according to the predetermined route? Once an unplanned accident occurs in the car Shenhe, wouldn't that send the protagonist away? All kinds of questions can't be answered. But these are all based on our real-life experience to look at the movie, and it is meaningless to think about these loopholes. Because the movie itself has some hidden basic settings. That's what this mind game organization can do. And this setting is like Lao Bai's rich man, which is the underlying logic of the movie. And questioning why the mental game organization can count every step is like questioning why the protagonist is handsome but can earn millions. It is actually of the same nature. It is not necessary. It is better to use the perspective of super-point projection to reflect the anxiety and predicament of the middle class in the era. The protagonist is a rich man, with millions in minutes. Live in a luxury house and go to high-end places. The other side is the shadow of childhood, the loss of his father in middle age, and there is a bottomless vacancy in emotion. This is also a real life portrayal of many elites in the real society at that time. The younger brother used the game to break all the existing thinking patterns of Lao Bai. Lao Bai also completed his reflection on family affection and family in the predicament. After realizing self-reconstruction, Lao Bai and his younger brother and brother finally released their suspicions. They sold their father's relics and got out of the shadow of father's suicide. Sincere blessings to the ex-wife, also on behalf of the protagonist to re-examine marriage and family relations. Even the meanness and conceit of the protagonist were finally put down. At the end of the movie, Lao Bai ran out of the hotel, caught up with Sister Jin, and let go of the boss's air. I started to ask Sister Jin to have a meal together, so it seemed that this game was not a farce with constant jokes, but really helped Lao Bai get out of his psychological predicament.
