Three deep stories are told, but each one feels like a shallow taste. The first story is about the reflection on the art of "photography" caused by the girl regaining her eyesight; the second story is about the product of "immortality" created by monks insisting on being "harmless", and the resulting spiritual crisis and Reflection; the third story, the test of "man" in the face of an extreme situation. Together, they constitute the metaphor of "Ship of Theseus", but it seems to be just brushing aside, which is too far from the philosophical proposition behind this metaphor.

It might be an inspiring image, but it's not a great story.

Ship of Theseus quotes

  • Vinay: The male silkworm can smell a single molecule of pheromone. If I had an olfaction as developed, I wouldn't be able to stand your smell...

    Aaliya Kamal: You wouldn't be able to stand your own smell... with your frequency of showers per month...

    Vinay: Even subtle differences... would I have seen the world very differently if I had smaller nostrils? If I was taller or shorter?

    Aaliya Kamal: Or would the world have been a different place if Hitler was shorter? Or Gandhi taller?

  • Navin: If a ship is replaced part by part up to a point where not a single original part remains in it, is it still the same ship?
