Is it Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou? I have been infatuated with Lao Zhuang for a long time, not because of philosophical thoughts, but because of Cai Zhizhong's cartoons. There is no story of Zhuang Zhou Mengdie in the comics, but it is very impressive to change into a Dapeng or something. Zhuang Zhou can think of this, so he can become a philosopher. Dominic can think of this, probably because the dream is very real, and he has the advice of his predecessors, although he mistook the predecessor for a king.
The dreaming story reminds me of David Lynch's "Mulholland Avenue", so real dreams are so real that people can doubt reality in turn. But who can say that things in dreams are not real, not tangible? In that way, the dream self is the second perceptible self, and the two selves, no matter how different their personalities, are deeply intertwined, influencing each other, perceiving each other, and dreaming about each other.
The point of the film is not here, the relative dream is just a process of self-redemption of old Dominic. When he was young, he was so obsessed with learning that he forgot the people around him. When you are old, you will not accomplish your studies, but you will end up alone. Rejuvenation in the dream is to give him another chance to choose. If given another chance, where would Dominic put the third-most roses? Is it family or business?
The linguist Dominic in the film is played by Tim Roth. This is also the Coppola film that Tim has longed for, and he has lived up to Coppola's hopes. Tim's performance in the film is almost perfect, but the two Chinese characters don't really sound like it. My favorite is the period when Dominic was just rejuvenated, and the nurse dressed him and then sent him to a certain place to recuperate. Dominic hasn't adapted to his youthful body yet, and his back is hunched, but his steps are light. Reminds me of what Al looked like when he did The Godfather III.
The newly rejuvenated Dominic went through a process of changing teeth, which heralded the beginning of a miraculous new life. At the end of the film, Dominic walked out of the cafe with his mouth covered, and then spit out the two rows of new teeth, heralding the death of this life. When Dominic was in a walking position, lying in the snow, people turned out the passport he was carrying, but it was written on the forged identity in the dream, Martin Audricourt's name, and the date of birth was April 26 , 1938. Does this ending mean that the dream is indeed so real, or is this just the scene when the dreamer Audricourt died? But these are not important, what matters is, Dominic, where to put the last rose.
