"incredible"
is the only English word that comes to mind after watching this film.
"Desire"
is the only Chinese word in my mind after watching this film.
The strange seven and a half floors are located between the seventh and eighth floors.
A common man in the city fell in love with a beautiful woman in his eyes that he could find all over the street. What he himself calls love is actually nothing more than a very strong possessive desire for her existence.
Then the wife of the common man also fell in love with this woman. What a joke! !
Then they found a magical door into the brain and body of John, a famous movie star.
As long as you pay 200 yuan, you can become John for 15 minutes!
So many people came here, excited, and in 15 minutes, they seemed to get a thrill that they had never had before.
The common man has a good skill at manipulating puppets, so he also became John's best manipulator.
Through the shell of John, they each got what they wanted. Sex, money, fame, career, the promise of "love", even immortality.
Even if John had to grow old and die in the end, he had children, and his children were another entrance for everyone to satisfy their desires.
All actions originate from the inexhaustible desires of human beings.
I don't think desire is evil, but its powerful force can cause people to do evil things.
Although the plot is ridiculous, the reason for giving 5 stars is that I love to play movies. Ha ha. But it has to be meaningful.
For example, it can cause thinking.

Can you feel your desire?
Have you found the entrance?
