This movie is about philosophy.

Life and death, law, time and space, cause and effect. Impermanence, no self.
Less like science fiction, more like philosophical fantasy.
Anyway, science and philosophy don't seem to have clear boundaries.
Every line of Gu Yi reminds me of a passage and a book with similar thoughts. It's just that the carrier is different, and the things to be expressed are the same.
And Domam, it should be the Maya in the traditional Indian religion.
"You have to surrender to its current, and use its power as your own. "
"Surrender your ego."
"Everything is about you."
We don't get to choose our time. "Death is what gives life meaning. To know your days are numbered, your time is short."
"We never lose our demons, Mordo. We only learn to live above them. (We never lose our demons, Mordo. We only learn to live above them.)"
This universe is only one of an infinite number. Worlds without end. Study
and practice. Years of
it .



- No one ever is. We don't get to choose our time. Death is what gives life meaning. To know your days are numbered, your time is short."
"Forget everything you think you know."

"You cannot beat a river into submission. "
(



You have to surrender to its current, and use its power as your own.
- I... I control it by surrendering control? That doesn't make any sense .
- Not everything does. Not everything has to. Your intellect has taken you far in life. But it will take you no further. Surrender, Stephen. Silence your ego and your power will rise.

People think in terms of good and evil, but really, time is the true enemy of us all. Time kills everything.
