Sage’s Stone-
Journey to the Tomb of the Self- Journey
to the Subconscious Journey (journey to the tomb), encountered various archetypes (ghosts, dangers), overcame the complex in life (reduces the distance between the self and the subconscious), and perfected the self (getting the sage’s stone, sage) Zhezhishi actually means complete self, so in the end it is not a stone, but the heroine herself). Of course, not all subconscious journeys will be successful, and some people will stay in the subconscious (some people are lost in the tomb in the movie). Finally, "above and below it" refers to projection, or Lacan's fantasy. This film was shot in France, where psychology is very developed, and it has a philosophical atmosphere. Of course, people who don’t understand will only see the surface, which may arouse religious experience for some people. . . . . . Very good movie
