A failed attempt at depth
This film intends to communicate the subtlety and depth of human relationship. But it turned out laughably crass, shallow, and ... creepy. The worst element, visually and thematically, is the tacky and bloody kongfu scene that evokes disgust and horror, and bewilderment. The wild beauty of nature is completely spoiled by the bloodiness and tackiness of that surreal scene.
The philosophical reference -- Zhuang Tsu's butterfly -- is irrelevant and makes the film pretentious and plain awkward.
What one is left with after viewing the film are basically two things: disgust and disappointment.
Don't waste your time on this one.
