Conclusion: The story is simple and simple, love, and complex, the dialecticism of life and death and the eternal recurrences. The editing is not as brain-killing as memento; the picture is very attractive, and it is said that 90% of it is not done with CG; the plot is a little tribute to 2001 without being obscure; there is some stream of consciousness, but it is not deliberately displayed. Darren Aronofsky's movies have always been my favorite. From Requiem for a Dream to Pi, they are all "big" movies that you can comfort yourself to understand if you use your brain a little bit, or use your brain hard and find that you still don't understand much. . Hee hee, my first reaction after reading it was Immortel (ad vitam)'s cousin.
From Buddhism to Christianity to Mayan pyramids to Tai Chi to nebulae, Darren seems to be telling a cosmic story that seems to be all-encompassing and yet illusory. Very writer's old wine in a new bottle. Mixed with many symbols of Eastern and Western philosophy, semioticians have to be busy citing scriptures a few times, too lazy to read. Standing on the doctor's trail, magic realism + stream of consciousness? Three clues in chronological order, Nirvana? Reincarnation? With Shaka and the tree as the axis, is the void that human beings have been pursuing for tens of thousands of years? Before the big bad wolf (oops) "gets the way", everything is the remorse under the tower of Babel and the naivety that gets stronger and stronger. In the nebula in the end of the light, what is the reality of matter and what is the reincarnation of the soul becomes no longer important, is it Zhuang Zhou Mengdie?
