god of phone booths

A man casually used a mobile phone to perfunctory his clients, recruited a diligent young man who had just graduated from college as his horse boy at his command, and he could make up ten minutes of lies on the road in five minutes to prevaricate those who asked him. The person he goes to help, but just like this, he still looks like a person and has a bit of fame. This is the protagonist. If you say bad or not, if you say other people are scumbags, he can indeed take off his wedding ring and turn his head to a beautiful woman. Talking romantic and warm words, and calling the same public phone booth at a fixed time and time, finally angered the god of the phone booth.

What happened next, God called and wanted to teach him a lesson.

It took two phone calls and two lives to complete this class. Of course, it also took a lot of hard work from many police uncles and media reporters, but when our protagonist lay in the ambulance in a relaxed posture, watching With the calm look of the Lord, and his wife who still loves him deeply, I think this lesson may have been for nothing.

Many people think that the murderer's appearance in the last scene is redundant. They think that this not only makes the murderer's grade drop a lot, but also makes it a little tricky and even superfluous. But I feel that it can't be a human being, it has to be a god.

The god of phone booths, of course, does not exist in our lives. How can there be such a powerful sniper? Not only did the bureau set up so well, but he also arranged such a great scapegoat, and more importantly, he knew the male protagonist's personality so well that he even thought about what he would think. Therefore, he is essentially a fictional existence, and the concept of omnipotence can be derived from the movie, that he is God. In the phone booth, since the murderer knew everything, any self-deception was futile. And he controls the life and death of everyone around this phone booth. In this movie, there are two or three shots and two laser threats, aiming from the front, left hand, and right side of the male protagonist respectively. This is normally impossible. Even if the murderer is moving, it is impossible to simultaneously To set up multiple shooting points to threaten, and he maintained a steady tone throughout. Therefore, this murderer is destined to be unable to be found by the police. The purpose is to tell the audience that this person cannot be punished. Only he can punish you. At this level, he is a god.

Many film critics are very unwilling to pay for God's idea, thinking that although this seems to help the male protagonist to clean up his sins and let him go, it is actually just nosy. I am afraid that people with this kind of thinking really consider their own situation from the perspective of the male protagonist, and think that people who are not saints and sages are infallible. Why is this familiar? Yes, the male protagonist thinks the same way. This is the hypocrisy of adults, we not only like to tell lies, but also like to make up a whole set of lies for one lie, and when finally faced with being exposed, it feels worse than death. Some people, I am afraid that they will not reflect on themselves until they die. Those dirty things, those betrayal things, those things that have been buried in the years, can't wait to be buried forever as they go into the soil. So, if someone cheats once, there will be a second, third, fourth... Otherwise, how can there be only one cheating and countless times? Don't look at how serious and sincere the male protagonist's apology in the phone booth is, as an adult, I know that lying is addictive, and self-forgiveness will also. Some people's sense of survival when they are in a desperate situation will make them mistakenly think that they cherish life and cherish others again. It's called no tears without seeing the coffin. Therefore, in the last scene of the movie, God needs to come out and gently say harsh words: Next time, let me know that you lied, and I told you to stay in the toilet and cry!

I actually envy the male protagonist. Some people have done something wrong, and they dare not say it for the rest of their lives, so they buried it in their hearts, buried them in their hearts, and buried them until they forgot how jerk they were. But as mentioned above, even if I think about it, I won't feel guilty again, and it will even worsen. Until the day when the punishment comes, this kind of person will never know how to restrain. So there are laws in this world, and the police need to enforce them, but the moral police will never come. And the god of the phone booth is the moral police in everyone's heart.

Whether it is worth sacrificing two people's lives in order to awaken one's conscience, I don't know.

But if someone would do it for me, I would appreciate him.

It's a pity that no one in this world will take care of you, so many people get away with it, and many people have sleepless nights.
