At the end of the film, the last word that Inspector Domo said to the female police detective before he died was not to lose your way, and the tragic beginning of this sentence is because Inspector Domo's self-proclaimed righteous " Daydream". In fact, to put it simply, the tragedy of Domo and Happ's death is because of Domo's two "daydreams". One is the original intention, the other is the extension. Tragedy ensues when these two "daydreams" intertwine, penetrate each other, and eventually become indistinguishable.
The beginning of the original "Daydream"
film has the style of a Nolan film. In a room separated by a glass door, a hand covered with a white plastic cover dripped a few drops of blood on the white fibers on the wrist, while the other hand was constantly wiping the blood. During this period, the flashing picture has been double-imaged, as if looking at it with a pair of sleepy eyes. Then, the camera jumped to Inspector Domo's eyes that had just woken up, waking up from a dream.
The story takes place in an "isolated" town, during the polar day. If the basis is sought literally, daydreaming is probably the most convincing here. Domo and Happ are sent to investigate a teenage murder in a small town. For the famous Inspector Domo, this was a case that could be ended very easily within 48 hours. This can be seen at a glance when Domo recreates the scene of the crime based on the details on the corpse. However, due to their own problems, the duo are being examined by the Ministry of the Interior, and Domo and Happ are at odds over whether to tell the truth about Dobos's convicted evidence. But when the gunshot rang in the thick fog, Happ died unexpectedly in Domo's arms. From there, the plot begins to split in two, with the teenage murder and Hap's death entwining the sleep-deprived Domo, who begins to lose his way here.
Extended "Daydream"
After the female police detective discovered the truth about Hap's death, before Domo was about to leave the town, Domo told the female owner of the town hotel the truth of this "daydream". In Los Angeles, Domo tries to convict Dopos, but suffers from insufficient evidence. So he took blood from the boy who had been tortured and put it on the clothes in Dobos' apartment, planting the blame on Dobos to get him punished by law. And this is the beginning of the film, the blood-wiping scene that is constantly ghosting. When Domo asks the female boss what he thinks, he may also be asking himself, seeking an explanation for his behavior. The lady boss said well, this was Domo's idea of right and wrong at the time, and he chose to accept it. So what's wrong with this "daydream"?
When the story of the film came to the end, the female police detective wanted to take the same path as Domo, she wanted to throw away the bullet casing, maybe this was her idea of right and wrong at the time, and she chose to accept Harp's accidental death. But Domo stopped her, because he didn't want her to lose her way and lose everything. Just as Domo was analyzing the murder of a girl, when he talked about the criminal who beat the girl to death for 10 minutes, he said that once you go down this road, you can never go back. In the end, Domo redeemed his fault with his own life, and got rid of insomnia with the long sleep of death.
