Space and time are double warped.
Anti-war means obvious.
Stories take place under conditions where people can interfere with time. The male protagonist is a reflective person, an anti-warrior and a revolutionary at the same time. His father is a capitalist (with a derogatory meaning). The appearance of the mother is like reality, but also like pushing the protagonist into another deeper dream. Doubt and belief in God. The quest for Socratic knowledge (truth). The anxiety of women in war. Crazy pursuit of desire. Selfish. egoism. The power of money. An attack on capitalism. The corruption of the old and the brutality of the new. People kill each other. endless war. People will suffer the consequences in the end. Lack of reflection on war. Abandonment of experience.
People try to control everything. People lose their reverence for life and nature. The harmony of yin and yang is out of balance. Reality and dreams. life and death. Human and underground. Dreams and dreams. time and time. Crazy squeezing, twisting, morphing. weird.
The above is all bullshit by me. This movie is crazy. Do not understand. I don't know if it's the grotesque extreme or the real feedback of reality. It's painful to watch.
(Against war. Reflect on war.)
This piece must need a good translation. The version I'm looking at has translation garbage visible to the naked eye. (If you can't understand the highly poetic movie, you must remember to throw the blame for the translation)
