1. The seven-minute Japanese traditional puppet show at the beginning of the film is not only the narrative thread throughout, but also the overall symbol of the film. In the puppet show, the puppets who are dressed in bright clothes and under the control of the puppet masters, perform life, the joys and sorrows, and the protagonists in the film who are struggling with love and loss, and life is impermanent. 2. Aestheticism What "The Doll" uses to conquer the audience is the beauty of the movie, which is expressed both in the movie itself and on the screen. The film adopts the oriental style of solidified long shots, in accordance with the changing order of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, to present the beauty of nature to the audience in a sequence of landscape paintings. Cherry blossoms in spring, sea in summer, maple leaves in autumn, white snow in winter. 3. Linking love with death, every love has ended in death, death shows the beauty of love, and love has the despair and sadness of death. This is probably related to the aesthetic tradition of the Japanese nation. Although the cherry blossoms are extremely dazzling when they are in full bloom, the flowering time is very short, thus forming the Japanese nation's tragic understanding of beauty - all beauty is fleeting and life is impermanent. In the short bloom of cherry blossoms, the youth of life has been exhausted, and the beauty is beautiful in its rare moment.
