Re: Fate and Freedom

Dear Xie J., Thank you for taking the time to respond to my confusion over the symbolism of spring and winter in your analysis. Your consideration is intriguing that the Winter season and tones of Winter persist throughout the film, and symbolize the struggling economy and lack of artistic interest...
