The subject below does not necessarily represent my point of view. This is how the film was shot. This article is not too fond of brain supplements.
However, my memory is not good, so please forgive me if I remember the details wrong.
1. Midlife crisis. The opening is a farewell to the past, and pretending to be calm in the mirror: "Hello, the second half of my life."
2. Fear. The embodiment of fear in the dream, the son becomes a weird paranormal documentary fanatic (what the hell wwww), the daughter is gay, the wife doesn't love her and doesn't enjoy her life, etc. What's more interesting is that the son said before that he is a wealthy middle-class white man, and he has prejudice against other races. It is still a relatively incisive observation from his relatives. His fear of black-skinned aliens has become a black doctor.
3. Betrayal. The initial fear of betrayal brings about a midlife crisis. Betrayal is the core concept of connecting each subject. The male protagonist's delusions of the opposite sex are the source of his fear of his wife's betrayal. It was because he found out that he didn't love his wife, so he was worried that his wife didn't love him. In addition, the small conflict between his brother and him also made him anxious. His fear of his own betrayal became the source of his fear of others, or what in the psychological context would be called fear and midlife crisis.
4. Fear of wool. In the minutes before escaping and committing suicide, his family showed that they cared for him. I guess the director didn't mean to be sarcastic, he just used the ginseng winner's story to set off the power of fear and deliberately distorted the truth. And the last memory flashed, the male protagonist smiled and said to his wife, "I'm still alive" in the memory, and jumped off the building. I don't see it as an escape, but the courage to face the fear and deny it.
