Are there really dead bodies?

In the last major examination of primary school art, the topic given by the teacher was creative painting, without any restrictions, we could do whatever we want. At that time, I picked up the triangle ruler at hand and started to draw lines to make connections. Then I found a clue from my graffiti. Finally, I completed the painting of an old couple eating a bunch of grapes. The teacher gave an A. The comment is very interesting. It's okay to add an accidental one. It is quite similar to Antonioni's "blow up". One is to use readily available tools to paint a witty and humorous picture. Director An uses less than half of the film to assemble a film with a lack of logic but a spiritual philosophy.

What is the truth? seeing is believing. But what must be seen is the truth? Does what you see after zooming in have to be true? The girl in the movie pointed to the enlarged "corpse lying in the grass" and said it looked like an oil painting. The audience couldn't put it down. We followed Thomas and saw the dead body lying in the grass with our own eyes in the middle of the night. How did he disappear out of thin air after dawn? Did we see Thomas' imagination or was the scene destroyed?

At the end of the film, the noisy group of hippies appeared again. They were just like our real life. One party sang and the other appeared, and the chaos was so lively. When their car drove away, it seemed that nothing had happened. In that non-existent tennis match, Thomas finally participated in it. "You believe that you are immersed in your happiness", which is the attitude towards life when you join the WTO. Life is such a vain and non-existent drama, how many traces of life come and go? Just like the song in "Good Song", "Where are the past and present, the grass is gone in the barren mound".

It doesn't matter if there is a corpse or not.
