at the end of the film, his boss yells at him for being gone so quickly and disappearing, which is consistent with the boss telling him not to go away at the beginning and coming back to him immediately after the conference call; he finally stepped on The bullet was the one that slipped out at the beginning.
Another point, after Vanessa returned to the office, she said that it would be good to see the killer's eyes. McDonald said that if he saw you, he would not shoot. Vanessa repeatedly asked him why, McDonald's It's just that he knows it, and it can be seen that everything is directed by him, so of course he knows.
If these plots were not imagined by him, then it is obviously unreasonable for the company to let a person who "acts for justice" as the creative vice president. So I think all the plots are just an "upgraded version" of the usual fantasy that McDonald's is too stimulated by his boss.
Based on this understanding, McDonald's is a person who suffers from office oppression and loves fantasy. But his fantasy is also based on reality and logic. In the plots he directed, only by making Vanessa almost paralyzed can he feel closer to the "larks" in his mind. As the fantasy unfolded, he became open, active, aggressive, and truly became "the person he wants to be". However, he was suspicious by nature, and his nature remained unchanged in the illusory, and finally returned to reality with a mental breakdown.
This illusory journey is not entirely pointless. Finally let him realize that even if he gets everything he wants, he will always live in troubles, then maybe it is not the world that is wrong, and only he is the sick sheep.
But there is still a problem with this interpretation. I don't know how to explain the difference between the two office sets at the beginning and the end?
