Detail 1: The beginning and end of the film echo each other, hiding mysteries

At the beginning of the film, the blind rabbit that has been hunted by hunters comes into view, and then the male protagonist plays the piano by the window. Scenes, no one can connect them back and forth. But it wasn't until the rabbit appeared again at the end of the film that the audience seemed to sense the deeper meaning. The rabbit appeared when the male protagonist narrated his experience to his ex-girlfriend Sophie in a foreign country. In his narrative, if it weren't for the blind rabbit, Simi's car must have crashed into him, and he might have been On his deathbed, he was favored by fate and was successfully rescued by a blind rabbit. When everyone, including Sophie, was convinced of this, Akash kicked away a can lying on the side of the road at the end of the film. This jaw-dropping scene was enough to make people re-examine Akash's history. Sophie tells the story of what happened.

If the male protagonist is blind, how did he see the can? When they said goodbye to the rabbit-headed cane handed over by the waiter in the coffee shop, the male protagonist was sure that he had lost it without touching it. How could this be explained? The male protagonist is already blind, but when he recounts his encounter, he clearly knows that a blind rabbit saved him and turned it into a protective blind stick? And how did the blind rabbit accurately hit a high-speed car and then escape the scene unharmed? The director specifically used this echoing design to hint to the audience that the hero was lying to Sophie. In fact, the real ending may be that Simi was put on a plane by the hero and the doctor and became the liver transplant target to save the rich man's daughter, and the hero The Lord also took off Simi's cornea, restored his vision, and fulfilled his dream in Europe... Or perhaps, the truth has yet to be verified, and the dark side of human nature is worth thinking about, but these careful thoughts are extremely scary. The picture is enough to send chills down the spine.

Detail 2: The neighbor kid is too "witty", alluding to the unscrupulous media

This little boy lives in a low-cost government rental house like Akash, and has been giving people the impression from the beginning of the film Leaves a clever, mischievous impression. He tripped Akash with a rope; he peeped at Akash observing Sophie's appearance at the top of the stairs; after accidentally realizing that the male protagonist was not blind, he climbed out of the window to secretly record the video, and tried to sell it to others. These overly "clever" ways of obtaining money are not what a child should look like. The most surprising thing is that when the little boy learned that the male protagonist was blinded by sago poisoning, he continued to sell secretly filmed videos as if nothing had happened. At this moment, shouldn't even a child call the police or ask for help first? A child who received help from the government and enjoyed social welfare had no mercy for the blind disabled person, but instead used and attacked him. Isn't this an allusion to those who obstructed the incident and ignored the truth and spread rumors in order to capture the public's attention? , are the unscrupulous media that numb the audience? They never care about the truth. Just baseless gossip is enough to divert public attention and even subvert public opinion.

There are also some subtle details in the film that are even more thought-provoking.

Sophie had long suspected that Akash was pretending to be blind and "caught him and Simi in bed", so why did she continue to believe the lies he spun two years later? The male protagonist witnessed Simi's two murders with his own eyes, but he ate the tribute she handed him without hesitation, causing himself to become blind. How to explain this? Does the big liver-like tree on the road where the hero and the doctor drive at the end of the film foreshadow the real ending? Does the magical word "Lord Shiva" in the film express the author's ultimate question of who is good and who is evil? These intriguing details make it a classic suspense film with foreshadowing and ups and downs. It is no exaggeration to say that every character in this film is transparent, full, and distinct. The confrontation between faith and betrayal, the interweaving of good and evil, and the hesitation and resolute fighting are all vividly reflected. This excellent film leaves the audience with endless aftertaste and thinking, which is why it is priceless.
