I want to say, why do you have to analyze the truth so clearly? If you have to be Ding Mao or Mao, you cannot be both true and false, neither true nor false. Now many directors are more and more like to use this kind of true and false semi-dream style to cause discussion and disputes among fans, so that their films are more classic.
In fact, the movie is a dream machine, and it is a manifestation of fantasy. For example, many dubbings are not real in the movie, but the director gives us the feeling, which needs to arouse our emotions, such as the fire in the movie, you To what extent is it true, that is, the shootout is real, and the director can also use fire to express the emotions of Fat Charlie in the shootout, not necessarily who sees it in the movie, even if the fire in the apartment is the same as if it didn't burn in the end, I can also understand that it was Charlie's anger at the time, and then the anger subsides. Like the beach at the end, it can either be a quasi-poster hint to express the dream, or it can be a real breath of fresh air for Barton.
The various expressions of truth and falsehood in the film are just the props used by the director. The truth and falsehood are not that important. Through various expressions, we feel the director's intentions, emotions, and feelings that are true.
I am quite satisfied with the way the film is presented. No matter it is real or fantasy, I feel the heart and emotions, distress and madness of the writer.
To borrow Marquez's words, I believe in the magic of real life. Even if it looks unreal, he is real. True or phantasmagoric, it is just a need to express.
