The story of the enemy

In order to understand the plot, it is natural to understand the following points:
- All the scenes of the two people are imagined by the protagonist alone. In the part where he changed his girlfriend, when Anthony changed into Adam's clothes and went out, Adam was still at home at the time. It is understandable that the protagonist fantasized about the other person going out, then the part of the last affair with his girlfriend, including the fact that his girlfriend found out The part of the ring imprint (explain, I have had an affair so many times, I found out that there is a ring imprint early on, the mistress actually knew that she was a mistress), including the part of the car accident, it was all intentional, Anthony frantically pushed his girlfriend out of the car and caused the car accident It is also intended, which means that the protagonist wants to end this extramarital affair. (But it actually ends with a big spider, and he gets the key to the club and wants to go out at night.)

The real chronological order is:
1. Anthony was a trickster at first and then changed his career to teaching, but apparently his wife didn't know that he changed his career.
2 Even his mother knew that his dream was to be an actor, but he switched to teaching in order to make a living, and the boring cycle day after day caused him to have a split personality: as long as he taught, he was free, Adam; as long as he went home, he was Anthony , and the two never crossed the line at the same time, so he did not know that he was split;
3 Anthony had a mistress as early as when he was an actor (Anthony and his wife both knew about this, but Anthony did not know that his other personality Adam was still there Dating a mistress), and after changing careers, because he thought that Adam was a freelancer when he was teaching, he gave him a reason to continue dating mistresses frequently and recklessly. During this period, the two were together for so long, because the imprint of the ring could not be erased. of! ! ! Therefore, it is inferred that Xiaosan actually knew that he already had a wife. (This inference is important)
4. When Adam found out that he was Anthony, he was very regretful that he was sorry for his wife, and wanted to SAYGOODBYE with the mistress, so he thought of the last scene: returning to Anthony's identity, looking for mistress again, and then disappearing; The mistress makes a conflict, kill the mistress, and the conflict point of the conflict is the imprint of the ring, so that the mistress finds out and the conflict occurs (note that in fact, the mistress always knows that he is married, so the reasoning is that the protagonist hopes that through this fact, he will arouse in his heart. It's just a heartbreaker for arguing with Xiaosan. The double-layered inner psychology, this psychology is really abnormal.)

  • Anthony: Control, it's all about control. Every dictatorship has one obsession and that's it. In ancient Rome they gave the people bread and circuses. They kept population busy with entertainment but other dictatorships used other strategies to control ideas, the knowledge... how do they do that? Lower education, they limit culture, censor information, they censor any means of individual expression and is important to remember this, that this is a pattern, that repeats itself through out history.
