I am curious as to what Melville has to do with Eastern philosophy.
In "Red Circle", Melville still dislikes and questioned this hierarchical society divided by power and money. In Paris, where rich and powerful, wealthy and powerful whites play with wandering people, regardless of gender, race, or social role.
However, with an almost innocent feeling and living in a morally degraded world, Melville has always believed in the emotions between people: the first time I stare into your eyes, I realize our complicity.
Although he never raised it to love in a nasty way.
Here, each character has a scale on the ruler of good and evil. Those who have reached the best are detached from this world, and those who have reached the worst stay behind and continue to play with the world. Most people between the best and the evil live in the world and are anxious.
Neither the nature is good nor the nature is evil, is not the best answer.
He doesn't expect to benefit the world, he just seeks to be alone.
Melville pays little attention to the character's psychology, often shields outside voices, and the characters are reticent.
He likes silence. Silence means introspection. What these people dedicate themselves to is not the external, given morality or value. Goodness is internalized in the heart, and action is spontaneous, the external manifestation of their heart, and the identity with the heart.
His movies often end at the moment of death. This means that human life has a perfect time. At the moment when the perfection is reached, a person completes himself and completes his life.
"Be immortal, then die." He once said in "Exhausted".
