Message: [QUOTE="valosagutas, post: 217261, member: 77791"] Well, such a sense of duality is part of Asian philosophy/culture/religion so no wonder. "Darkness cannot exist without lightness" and vice versa and "where there is good, because there is good there will be bad" and vice versa. Perhaps I like this movie because it's more "deeper" and "intimate" about this duality. Fundamentally, what may be different is a "deeper" and "correct" reflection of how humans are at a fundamental level. The characters are not "black and white" criminal and cop. The personality of the criminal is very deep to enjoy throughout the whole movie. Eventually, the characters start to symbolise something touching more to the human soul beyond simple "criminal" and "cop" terms, things become more than a "common goal". The other movies keep the situation in a dramatic aspect just for the sake of a story and they all stay in the context of society. However why I like this movie is more about it goes beyond humanity it touching upon the meaning of what it means to be a life form, having a soul, mind and emotions and then these aspects are mirrored to our simple trivial lives. In that regard, this movie has a special place in my heart. [/QUOTE]
