If you don’t laugh, you will go crazy...

In this movie, there has never been a lively event. Even the overcrowded tavern gives people a sense of isolation and isolation.
All the fun and humor are also chilly, the bleak feeling is like a lingering nightmare, but I still laughed out in some shots, because it feels like if you don’t laugh, you are going crazy. …
Some scenes are really unbearable. The apartment where the two salesmen lived was a mental hospital at first. I thought the boss who came to collect debts was here to visit the patient!
The atmosphere created is depressing and desperate, so if there is a laugh, it is also a pathological laugh.
One of the shots frightened me. It was the fat female dance teacher in the dance studio (unlike it). Suddenly she came up with a kick-up pose, which scared me almost to jump up. trembling!
Her wiping lens made me laugh. The fat girl teacher was a idiot, but I was thinking, there should be a mirror opposite them. The fat girl's movements should be seen by other students, but it is still so calm. Absurd...
I think the soldier standing outside the restaurant portrayed very well, showing the neglect and helplessness of small people very vividly. I want to say that many times, people will fall into this situation, with an unbearably low sense of existence. , And the cowardly performance of indecision, being marginalized...
What is surprising is that Charles XII in the tavern entered the pub. Because I don’t know the history of Sweden, I thought it was Napoleon at first, but I realized that he used to be. King of Sweden, a genius commander, but his fate is similar to Napoleon, and he also has his own Waterloo, but he still sings to the bartender, "You are the widow of Poltava, and the widow’s veil will be your gift." I am a little curious, is this something What about the lines in a stage play?
Of course, there is an inexplicable irony for the men and women afterwards. Can anyone explain the irony, or is it because I understood it wrong?
Finally, I want to say that in the current period of rampant commercial films, I occasionally come to such a high-end and cold literary film, such as drinking ice water in summer, which is transparent and refreshing (not very cool, after all, the theme of the film is not to make you Cool).

    Clam, clam, my graduate student came out and told me, let’s take a few long shots of the person weeding the door from different angles, and you can win prizes even if you take them out.
