Ou: A pun, not only pointing out the literal meaning of the English title, that is, the story about "a pair", but also implying the hollow, chaotic and manipulated feelings like a puppet (the protagonist's self-referential), as well as the truth about the real body, self-seeking.

Divergence, the use of light is very important in puppet shows, or puppet shows, puppet shows, and it is also true in this film.

The puppet Pinocchio wants to become a real person. The simon and james in the film are like puppets on the stage, one is dark and the other is dazzling, one is dazed and weird on the outside, kind and delicate on the inside, and the outside is full of air and hypocritical and selfish on the inside, but none of them are real people, not the complete self. Destruction, or fusion, is the destination of this "pair".
