The mysticism and love of nature in the film still continue his consistent style.
2. A discussion about the contradiction between human nature and society. In addition to the warm embellishment, it is more through a eccentric simple, honest and simple idealism to face the speculation of human society, doubt the obstinate and forced hypocritical religion.

Fuzzy and flickering dreams, disobedient apples, pilgrimage in the fog - death on the top of the mountain, blind people.
4. Documentary film expansion: "Guling Juvenile Murder", "Sorrowful City",,,
