Capitalism originated in Europe, as did Sophocles, the two in the film symbolize the complexity and intersection of life (rather than love, as the Invincible Allen has been discussing before) The proposition is broader and more revealing than previous works that merely confronted the emotional entanglement of men and women, but at the same time it becomes less moving.
In terms of specific content, the intersection of capitalism and Sophocles makes up the whole story, and it is a shared fascination with unpredictable tragedy and fate that makes Wilton and Nora discover and fall in love with each other: an uncontrollable view of life ( dinner table discussions of talents and their behavior), escape from certainty (actors for Nora, tours for Wilton); and capitalist precision and alienation are responsible for easily killing off uncertainty. Hypocrisy (Nora decides to start a family and Wilton realizes his addiction to deadly vanity), not to mention the cops, fake evidence, Japanese businessmen that continue to run through, all of these narratives reveal that people are already To what extent (falsely) accurately controls the moments of our life, there is no uncertainty in this world, only the logic of A→B, which makes us self-righteous masters of the universe.
On the most superficial plot level, Wilton may continue to think that it was his logic (rather than the ring of Fate) that enabled him to succeed, but in a further extended sense, the film actually uses itself to show fate Logical lengths reveal the underlying hopelessness of breaking through the logic of capitalism: you have to play tennis to meet a rich man, then you can marry his sister, and then you can make money.
Of course, Invincible Allen never intends to use this film to express the certainty of fate. The theme is exactly the opposite. The interesting thing is that, aside from the film itself, the moment when the ring landed, the audience felt The conflict between the idea of 'the protagonist will be guilty of this' and 'the protagonist can escape' is the perfect embodiment of logos that each of us ultimately has to submit to (none of us can say exactly how!).
The content after that also confirmed the creator's intention at this point, thinking that those who hold their own destiny will always be silently mocked by God (here, the audience performs this function), and use seemingly unfounded assertions to point out threats The ghost of Nora, who will eventually pay the price, can instead gain people's approval after careful consideration, because whether we admit it or not, each of us more or less implicitly believes that the providence is unfathomable, "It's not that we didn't report the time and didn't arrive", which means that human beings have kept the fear in their hearts for unexplainable things since they used tools.
Therefore, Nora's ghost, the protagonist who is still confused in the end, and the bad guy's rewarding ending all express the rare consideration of fate and unpredictability from the whole life level except for Invincible Allen (after all, the unpredictability of love is also from which!), while maintaining the consistent style of Invincible Allen in the details with the shell of the love story (the wife with the thermometer and the clothes of the ripped mistress, who can explain these?), so that the film is not too close to the become tense over the title.
In the end, it may be in line with the style of the whole film. The performance and lines of the male lead are really troublesome. Speaking of which, I wonder if in a certain year in the future, when China has established its own majesty in the world, There are new cultural forms and styles that fit our race, and those of us who grew up watching foreign performances across cultural barriers will eventually find that our movie viewing is a castle in the air?
