Like ghosts.

penetrate the body

Black female yin and yang eyes (ears) can communicate with male protagonists

After the male protagonist's obsession is relieved, he becomes detached.

There are shadows of Chinese ghost movies everywhere, and the entire framework can be said to be a Chinese ghost movie. The whole film is well-made, the screenplay is compact, and there is no delay. The rhythm is tight from start to finish. Ups and downs. The great fusion of Chinese and Western cultures has made this classic film, and it is timeless to rewatch it 30 years later!
