It doesn't seem to understand. There are still doubts that cannot be solved.
Of course, it could also be because, I've always imagined this movie too deeply.
But it is said that the director's original intention was not to express any metaphor in the film.
With that said, it's just a story. The person who said it wanted to say it, so he said it, and then finished it.
That's all.
And everything that the viewers associate with is just the viewer's own understanding. If you say it positively, it's called throwing new ideas, and if you say it negatively, it's called far-fetched.
I also want to say a little bit of my own far-fetched here.
I don't know why, but I paid special attention to a dialogue between the puppeteer and Veronica.
Veronica saw the newly made puppet in the puppet master's hand, looked at the identical one on the table, and asked him, "Why are there two?" The
puppet master smiled and said, "Because they are very fragile. Damage one."
The word "fragile" here makes me think of Veronica from Poland, who loves music. Her body is fragile, and "people in our family die suddenly when they are healthy," her aunt said. She really died on the stage of her dreams in her best years.
The other Veronica, who is in France, uses a healthy body to carry the soul they share, and still lives in the world, continuing the life that should have continued or should have been completed.
The fate of the two Veronica is exactly the same as the fate of the two puppets in the hands of the puppet master.
If it can be said: In this world full of life and vitality, everyone is a puppet. So who is at the other end of the even line? What kind of puppeteer is that?
The puppet's mission is to complete a performance perfectly. Only in this performance can she truly have life and soul.
Two puppets, one is a backup, in order to still be able to complete the mission that cannot be completed in the event of an accident.
Two Veronica, and their performance is only one. The same soul lives in two bodies. The reason is that the body is too fragile, lest it be unable to carry the soul, from beginning to end.
It can be seen that this soul is so precious, and the soul of human beings is no different.
Then, above the world, the puppet master in the clouds, what is the mission he arranged for us?
What kind of show is this, so carefully prepared, so careful, lest something go wrong?
What is the significance of this performance for puppets?
That's my doubt, and maybe that's what I don't understand.
