You can't break your own rules

An ordinary person who has accepted God's arrangement and rules, could have accepted himself and lived a normal life. Because of God's occasional provocation, trying to resist this arrangement of rules.
Accept the provocation, invest in dry cleaning, and want to raise money according to the rules, but think that others are not following the rules, and take the money wisely. When his wife was in prison, of course he couldn't accept this change because he was restricted by the rules. He wanted to return to the rules and arrangements, but there was always a price to pay, and his wife committed suicide. After his wife committed suicide, he could have continued a regular life, but he wanted to find some meaning in life. The contrast of the little girl made his regular life incomprehensible, and finally decided to pay the price himself.
I think it's a movie about rules, compliance, change, giving, and it's not that different from No Country For Old Men. People are the most subject to the rules. If you want to change the rules, you must first make the change yourself and accept the price you pay for the change. Otherwise, it will not end well. In fact, the director may not think it is possible to change at all. The protagonist of the headquarters, the old and helpless uncle who picks up money. . .

The Man Who Wasn't There quotes

  • Ed Crane: [narrating] There they were. All going about their business. It seemed like I knew a secret, a bigger one even than what had really happened to Big Dave. Something none of them knew. Like I had made it to the outside somehow, and they were all still struggling way down below.

  • Big Dave Brewster: Japs had us pinned down in Buna for something like six weeks. Well, I gotta tell ya, I thought *we* had it tough, but, Jesus, we had supply. *They* were eating grubs, nuts, thistles. When we finally up and bust off the beach we found Arnie Bragg, kid missing on recon; the Japs had *eaten* the sonofabitch, if you'll pardon the, uh... And this was a scrawny, pimply kid too, nothin' to write home about. I mean, I never would've, ya know, so what do I say, honey? When I don't like dinner, what do I say? I say, 'Jesus, honey, Arnie Bragg - *again*'?
