What do the easter eggs in "A Good Show" have to do with the plot?

Let’s first take a look at what the three easter eggs in "A Good Show" are about.

The first one: After experiencing the "good show" on the island, everyone returned to human society and life got back on track. However, Xiaoxing was admitted to a mental hospital and suffered from selective amnesia, forgetting his history of darkness. And there are many patients dancing in the mental hospital, and these people are guest stars from famous directors, such as Director Guan Hu and Director Ning Hao. At the end of this Easter egg, there is a shot of Ma Jin walking towards Shanshan.

The second one: Mr. Zhang spent money to develop the isolated island in the story into a tourist attraction. The original driver Xiao Wang now serves as a tour guide, introducing tourists to the major events that happened on the island, and some of them Key figures were also made into sculptures.

The third one: Xiaoxing and Ma Jin were discussing what to do after winning the lottery on the subway. At this time, Xu Zheng’s guest character made a phone call from behind and asked person No. 500 to chop them off. Mouth.

Actually, the last two of these three Easter eggs are pure Easter eggs and have little to do with the plot, especially the last one, which is just to fill in the scene for Bald Zheng (because his scene in the main film They were all edited out by Director Huang). The first Easter egg is the most important. It is not just a guest Easter egg, it is more like an open ending.

In the first easter egg, the mentally ill people all wear striped clothes and like to dance in circles. This is very similar to the characters in the feature film. We can boldly guess that these people in the feature film are all someone A psychopath's imagination. So who is this psychopath? Judging from the easter eggs, both Ma Jin and Xiaoxing appeared in the mental hospital, so they are both possible. But based on the entire film, we can guess that these two people are actually the same person, and Xiaoxing is an independent personality split from Ma Jin.

Why do you say that? Because Ma Jin said something to Shanshan in the Easter egg: Everything is fake. ?

Combined with the previous plot, it is not difficult to find that Xiaoxing is almost always with Ma Jin, and Xiaoxing’s will and Ma Jin’s will influence each other. This influence trend can be summarized as : After the former’s will is strengthened, the latter’s will weakens.

Xiaoxing is Ma Jin’s cousin in the plot, so he has been inseparable from him (this is also very realistic, many patients with schizophrenia have independent personalities related to themselves). Everyone was bullied by the people on the island, and then Xiaoxing told Ma Jin: Be ruthless, be ruthless than them. At this time, his independent personality as the protagonist has begun to awaken and take shape.

After that, Xiaoxing designed a "Savior's Speech" for Ma Jin and delivered a "New World Speech" under the sacred light. This move allowed Ma Jin to gain many believers, but in fact this was Xiaoxing's idea, from this time on, Xiaoxing's personality has begun to dominate.

Then, Xiaoxing used Mr. Zhang’s daughter to threaten him and asked him to hand over all his property and real estate. At this time, Xiaoxing’s personality had been fully formed, and he became the dominant personality because Ma Jinjin dissuaded him. At that time, Xiaoxing couldn't listen, and Ma Jin's personality had been marginalized and became Xiaoxing's subsidiary personality.

When Ma Jin suddenly woke up in the easter egg, it was already too late. His sentence "everything is fake" was so weak that everyone did not trust him and already regarded him as a madman. And the person everyone is visiting in the mental hospital is Xiaoxing, which means that at this time, he has completely made the decision. ?

I have to say that this movie is indeed very profound. It is an absurd movie in itself. The Easter egg at the end of the movie leaves an open ending, which makes this movie even more interesting. With a hint of mystery, Huang Bo's work is indeed endlessly memorable.
