True or false, which is the real truth?
Which is the real world, the world with your eyes open or the world with your eyes closed?
Living in the present or dying in the future, which is the real awakening?
The A-side me and the B-side me, which is the real me?
Who knows if the film is still a dream at the end? Who knows whether the moment we are "awake" is a reality or a dream?
I think Jin Min didn't want to output the ultimate answer. Maybe he didn't have the answer himself. He brought up everything he wanted to express, no matter whether the audience could digest it or how much. In short, join this grand carnival first. In it. The carnival is over, what did you find? What will you throw away?
The whole film is like a chaotic dream to me. In the process of trying to clear this dream, I suddenly feel relieved at a certain moment... The red pepper said to Chiba: "Why can't you be mine? What about the clone?" So, why can't the world after closing your eyes be the real world, and the world after opening your eyes can't be a dream? I suddenly don't want to classify which parts of the film are reality, which parts are dreams, which is the id, which is the doppelganger... I believe that the creator's intention does not lie in this.
No matter whether I am in reality or a dream at the moment, and whether I have a clone or not, I have to be who I really want to be at the moment, and I have to be honest with who I am at the moment.
