Some of the Western legends are used, the final judgment, before death, a person will see his own life, he will report to the person closest to him, but there is no way to talk to him directly, etc. The hot milk is also like Meng Po soup.
In fact, the film is about finding yourself.
Through layers of interrogation, the writer strips away the halo of vanity that the writer disguised for himself, allowing him to see his true self, and then to find out what is most important to him, which is the theme of all religions, to find himself.
He found himself, so he started the next journey, finding himself, and then finding the way forward.
Leaving the film itself, I think of all of Tonadore's film backgrounds are hometown, the protagonist is himself.
He may wish that he had never left after becoming famous. If the Paradise Cinema and the beautiful legend of Sicily are just memories of his hometown, then the pianist at sea hopes that he has never left his hometown, that ship, that island.
And this film is also a small backward place. Great writers who traveled around the world chose to die there, and continue to go farther with the memory of that place.
I would like to die in my hometown.
All his films are about returning home.
