Structuralism separates various intentions, nature, human gregariousness and existentialism, animals, night, desire, etc., so it can be seen that the director is still very influenced by Western philosophy, although it is not particularly expressed.
The interrupted episode of the man waking up from a dream, the composition and colors of the picture are all biased towards Western paintings, but the plot is that the second man wakes up from a dream (it may also be a dream in a dream), goes into the bathroom to comb, and comes out wearing a military uniform male one. (Love? Or human similarities?) The plot of this blank space and the supernatural episode is more or less oriental. And this clip personally feels very representative, and can reflect the director's style to some extent.
Let's talk about the oriental philosophy part of this film, and the reason for 3 stars. The inseparable philosophical thoughts of Eastern philosophy include life, death, reincarnation, and entering the world (with active meaning), while Chinese philosophy actually emphasizes the difference between man and nature, and also wants to achieve immortality through thinking. The cleanliness of this film still has a lot to express these philosophical thoughts, but the difference is that it is too high-level, and most of the pages emphasize that people are in natural isolation, pain, and injury. For example, the change of the male protagonist is promoted. From the beginning, the soldier itself has the implied meaning of being commanded, the monkey's guidance, the tiger's top-down gesture at the end of the film, all of which are passively accepted by people. The root of the pursuit of all this is to stay away from loneliness, away from pain, and away from death , the concept of loss of human pursuit (refer to Buddhist universality and Kant's perfection).
Another point is that the treatment of the second part is too metaphysical and can be far away from reality, but it does not mean that the logical basis can be lost. It is more important to show the lack of argumentation. Realistic movies have real experience as the basis, but such a movie does so in Too impatient for me.
