"Light" has nothing to do with the naked eye in the mystics' understanding, because true clarity does not submit to the natural truths that manipulate this world, and clarity ignores the cruelty of time. The ebb and flow of natural life is the best proof of the cruelty of time: Encolpio spent a long time in search of life, and Ascilto's life was dying during this long time. In the alternation of life and death, the cruelty of time is exposed, and the truth of nature ignores the difference between life and death. Encolpio had a sad face, the scars that life left on life.
To understand eternity requires eternity, and the imprint of the life impulse to give the image of eternity lies in its ability to ignore time. And all the direct view and naked description of life will be as absurd and absurd as the plot arrangement of this film.
Eating corpses represents a kind of stoic composure: tormented by the short and the long years of life, when death will rise peacefully from the sea. The helplessness of the truth of nature has turned into a real peace, and the soul has no attachment to the body.
