I didn't want this ending.

Looking at it, I forgot that it was a Coen Brothers film, so I took it seriously. The serious result, the biggest thing is the disapproval of the ending, "It shouldn't be like this, right? This is too absurd", so the theme of this film came out. The 2B combination of the gym, under seemingly reasonable reasons, has affected all kinds of people, related and unrelated, possible and impossible, such as financial personnel engaged in invention research, CIA staff, cheating women who want to kick their husbands, It is a small absurd point in itself, and it has created a series of events without logical rules. As the background of the big absurdity, it is spread out one after another, revealing various uncertainties. Ultimately, the ending will not be the product of positive thinking. Compared with other Coen Brothers films, this one is considered entry-level, and it is best to accept it, without thinking too much about metaphors for society, insinuating the government and so on. To put it simply, I think that everyone, as an individual in society, should take care of themselves and not supervise others or endanger others. If everyone does it, the society will be better.
