Don't let yourself be left with only rational choices

The protagonist Locke believes that all behaviors can be solved rationally. Rational people will not have one-night stands outside of marriage, and of course they will not abandon children who are about to be born because of one-night stands. His boss was surprised that you are the last one, and Locke also said yes, I am the last one, but .... I think these few lines of dialogue sum up the theme of the film. No matter how rational a person is, the control range is limited. For Locke, in the end, his control range is only a fucking car. And more, we are restrained by others all the time, and our lives are intertwined by many irresistible external forces (the director's point of view). In such a situation, the basis for judging right and wrong is very weak and weak. If you keep tracing the cause upwards, each role plays a role in influencing the direction of the development of things. After watching this movie, I want to treat the people around me more and think more about love rather than reason. It is reasonable to argue that if you do not forgive the irrational part, you may only close more windows to life, and in the end there will be only one car that has to be driven in a certain direction.

Ivan Locke: Well hear this, Gareth. When I left the site just over two hours ago, I had a job, a wife, a home. And now I have none of those things. I have none of those things left. I just have myself and the car that I'm in. And I'm just driving and that's it.
