It is said that Borgman has seen it 1,000 times, and many elements do appear repeatedly in Borgman's films, such as the fear and infatuation of death, the magical religious redemption, and even the carriage of the god of death and the duality of human nature, the first half.

The movie a hundred years ago has reached such a high level
