old bei's mirror

Lao Bei seems to like to use mirrors as essential movie props. He vaguely remembers the mirror images in "Last Tango in Paris", which is very cold. In this film, Lao Bei intensifies the frequency of use, and the repeated mirror reminds me of a sentence - people can only believe what they see.
I don't know why, but such a small mirror gives me the feeling of a sudden bright light, the characters are frozen at that moment, and the next second they are fragmented and returned to nothingness, just like a dream.
