Who wouldn't read it indiscriminately? I also talk about "cats", "wells" and "mystery calls"

Really hate this kind of unfriendly narrative. Of course, I hate some self-righteous "Meiya" interpretations.

We will also talk nonsense in a serious manner, to give a few examples:

Ben's house cat is not a boil. The basic feature of boil is to recognize students. Ben's cat can not only answer the male lead, but also be held in his arms by Ben's new girlfriend (prey), obviously not the same cat. The plot of the male protagonist calling Ben's cat boil is that the male protagonist tries to find out that Ben is the murderer, in order to forcibly find a circumstantial evidence for the jewelry box electronic watch.

boil is a metaphorical image that does not exist at all. No one would name a cat boil. Boil is the burning of water; burn is the burning of fire. Water is yin and fire is yang. Yang is the man, the rich; Yin is the woman, the poor. (Note that the concept of yin and yang plays an important role in Korean culture against the background). So the burn metaphor for Ben is lit. Boil is a metaphor for the heroine being ignited. The decreasing cat food and excess cat feces in the hostess' house are also metaphors. This digestion process is a metaphor for the death of life. When the cat food is gone, the heroine's life is over.

The well is also a metaphorical image. There are only two people who see the well - the female lead and the male lead's mother, because they are the same kind of people - marginal people who disappear and go unnoticed (like a plastic tent). Just like those who accidentally fell into a dry well, if no one cared about them, they might be forgotten in the well forever.

So who will remember these two fringe women? male lead. So in the heroine's memory, it was the hero who discovered the heroine who fell into the well. In the same way, it can also explain the mysterious phone call at the male protagonist's house. The only one who knows the male lead's landline number is the male lead's family. (The heroine has the mobile phone number of the hero, so there is no need to ask for a landline number) So this mysterious phone call is a fantasy of the hero, because after his mother ran away from home, he has been thinking about his mother, and has been fantasizing or waiting for her mother to call since he was a child. . So obviously using the mobile phone, but the landline is not eliminated, just waiting for a call from my mother.

Therefore, the two women in the "well" are not dead and no one notices, because there is a male protagonist, this is the only "point" of hope in the whole film.

Further reasoning, Ben is the murderer. He thought the women in the jewelry boxes were all dead and nobody would notice. But he was wrong. In fact, everyone can't separate the connection with the society. There will always be a person who silently misses her, which is related to love and family. The other jewelry owners in the jewelry box are also like the heroine. They seem to be marginal people, but in fact they still maintain a weak connection with this society. So the police have already received a report, which can explain another detail - why there are police cars near Ben's house. Because an investigation was already underway, the police instinctively thought the murderer was a poor man, so they only noticed the white truck, not the Porsche.

I think my explanation is perfect! But what's the point?

If you don't tell the story well, and the narrative that is deliberately left blank is all hooliganism, it is to cover up the dryness of the plot! What's more, this kind of overly open blank processing, deconstruction without a relatively fixed answer is meaningless!

Therefore, it makes sense that Xiaochang's "Parasite" takes the golden figure!

Just like an excellent historical paper, there is one story and one step at a time, and anyone who reads it will understand!

And those historical papers that go around, come to a conclusion and never say it directly, and sometimes come up with two pretentious words, are mostly rubbish in my heart!

    A mix of the best and worst adaptations. There has never been any Japanese shadow that can imitate the omnipresent but ubiquitous male voyeur like Haruki Murakami to such a vivid state; however, when he left the original work and derailed in the second half, he put this ambiguity again. The aftertaste wafts away, turning into a vulgar sentimentality. This kind of rough attitude of making everything clear and not trusting the audience's brainpower at all is the main reason why Han Ying is difficult to really like.

    A shortcoming in Li Cangdong's works. The only thing that haunts me is the "well". Everyone has such a well in their life, like an enchantment that cannot be broken through. Emi's falling into a well at a young age has set the tone for her subsequent life: the void of love that will never be filled, and the hunger for meaning. In those few hours, she was forced to know the word loneliness in human life. I won't say what my "well" is.
