The similarity between the two lies in: as objects reflecting the subjective consciousness of human beings, both the district and the baseball boy are in constant change, the district changes the path and environment with the change of the intruder's consciousness, and the baseball boy depends on the object. whether or not the level of despair peaks, and neither has a definite material entity in nature: the zone represents the intruder's own desires, and the bat boy is the hopeless delusion of his target.
On the other hand, both have been hyped, exaggerated, and shattered into countless mirror fragments in public opinion as a kind of myth. Some people have entered the area, and some people have encountered baseball boys, but they can't see them clearly. The real face, or whether there is a "face" of the two has not been conclusive, what we see is a slice of their "face" at a certain moment in the process of time travel, or a doppelganger, or even an illusion .
This connection and division that resides within themselves has a touch of loneliness, a touch of co-existence with divinity and destructiveness. The difference lies in the language of expression: the presentation of the district is expressed through rich material texture, while the baseball boy is closer to an image that, although ubiquitous, exists as a completely empty urban myth, a collective delusion.
Conclusions and ideas are simple, but it is difficult to express this complex dynamic process. They did it all, and it was brilliant. It's just that Jin Min is more obsessed with urban dreams, while Laota is fascinated by the divine gaze.
But my favorite is still "Mirror", hee hee.
