There are only two protagonists, one can only move in the phone booth, and the other only has a voice that does not appear on the scene. Neither telling a story nor giving too much information, relying only on psychological activities and atmosphere to attract the audience's attention for two hours. If you think about it this way, the starring and the director are really excellent. No one can put personal values above the law and make their own sentencing decisions. To put it bluntly, a sniper is a pervert who does not cherish his own life, but asks others to live frankly. This is undeniable. But think about what he asked Stu to do, to tell everyone who he really is, it's not just about candor, it's about whether your life is uphill or downhill. I saw someone shared before about the principle of dealing with others, "Don't do things that you would be ashamed to mention to your friends." To be reasonable, the side of you who compromises and laziness in the face of temptation every day, and the side that you don't think about and waste time is actually the same. The things you are ashamed to bring up are the dark sides that you don't want to be honest with everyone.
The more one person is unwilling to reveal to everyone, the greater the difference between your true self and your desired self. And our embarrassment to mention it probably also carries the hope that we will slowly get better.
I do think that if there is really a sniper phone booth and a "truth agent" pill that "threatens" us at any time, it will be an interesting existence that can promote social progress.
I hope we can all be "the same".
