I am not a person with a high ideological level, and my literary attainments and abilities are also very limited. I cannot understand all the details of this film and everything the director wants to express to the audience, but after watching this film, I feel , thoughtful, moved. I think. . . This is enough. . . . . .

This film mainly expounds the content related to oriental linguistics, and the general idea may be inseparable from the allusions of Zhuang Zhou and butterflies in Zhuangzi's Theory of Equalization of Things. The male protagonist in the film has spent his life studying the origin of language. And he is very dissatisfied with the library in the town where he lives. He hopes to learn more about ancient civilizations and trace the origin of ancient languages. and committed to this research.

But the result was very unsatisfactory. In the end, he was about to turn 70, lost the person he loved the most, and the book was not published in the end, and he did not accomplish a thing, and then an accidental click made him rejuvenate and rejuvenate. Growing teeth and endowed with strong language ability and learning ability, he found that when he wanted to acquire knowledge, he could easily acquire the knowledge he needed without even opening the book. At this time, he has a dual personality, and this dual personality may be the mentality of an angel and a demon.

However, the background of the film is in the turbulent World War II era. He, who has a second-heavy personality, will do anything to achieve the purpose of publishing a book. "There is no other way!" is one of the most frequently heard lines. Then, when Dominic (the protagonist) has an unparalleled power in academic research and intellectual exploration, Laura's reincarnation, Veronica makes him re-experience the sweetness of love. In the end, the differences in love and academics led to a very deep thinking about the realm of life. I really really couldn't understand it, really really couldn't understand it. Dr. Xinying's realm is too high, I can't feel such a strong touch, maybe because the literary literacy is really too low. I've spoiled a little bit of a messy plot, a movie that I didn't understand very well at first, and I'm probably even more confused after reading my movie review, so I'll shut up for the time being.


In the end, this kind of feeling that seems to be true but false, if it is true and illusory. Let us experience the mystery of oriental literature and the objective connection between dream and reality. This is a masterpiece in the philosophical category. Although I can't understand it, it is definitely a good film!

"In the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of being a butterfly, a lifelike butterfly, and self-proclaimed that he was willing to meet! He didn't know Zhou. Suddenly he realized that he was like Zhou. He didn't know that Zhou's dream was a butterfly, and a butterfly's dream was Zhou?? Zhou and a butterfly, then there must be There is a difference. This is called 'materialization'." ("Zhuangzi: Equalization of Things")
