This is a bit worse than Yang's Holy Blood trilogy. But the visuals are even better.
In fact, the theme should still be an examination of life, love, family, birth, old age, sickness and death, honor and disgrace.
First of all, both the little girl and the stuntman fell into the trough of their lives.
Faced not only with physical pain, but also with the unavoidable cognition of aging and death.
This can be seen from the mysterious messenger, the kind old man with his mouth full of false teeth, and the little boy who was bitten to death by a poisonous snake.
And the story the male protagonist tells the little girl is also meaningful.
First of all, the five characters in it are also interesting.
One is a dynamite expert, who I think is the Nobel of metaphors.
Darwin, the metaphor is the Darwin of evolution.
Indian, is the representation of Indian philosophy.
The mysterious messenger, as the little girl later thought, the old man will become a tree again for eternity.
The Masked Man is not only a metaphor for the Green Hornet and Spider-Man in Hollywood movies, but also the incarnation of Roy in reality.
A woman is a lie that represents love.
For Roy, it was a tragedy. A woman betrays him, his career will also be lost, and everything is a hopeless trough.
He made up stories, but he tricked the little girl into finding him morphine for suicide.
He would fall into a deep sleep and fall into the water of death.
It can be said that not only the visual structure is beautiful. And it does have a certain philosophical meaning to life.
The industrial revolution that Nobel is supposed to represent is not only welfare but also destruction.
The theory of evolution tells people that birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of nature and cannot be avoided.
The interesting method of death of the Indians is to cut off the rope with a knife and fall to the tower together with the enemy.
That said, neither the Industrial Revolution, modern science, nor Indian philosophy and religion seem to be able to escape the pains of death and life.
But the ending of the movie is good. The little girl thinks that the old man will be resurrected.
This is also similar to the point of view of our Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi, corruption becomes miraculous, and miraculous becomes corrupt.
But in terms of philosophical structure, it is not as good as Yang's trilogy of saints.
The little girl acted very naturally.
The male protagonist is very artistic. Belongs to the film.
