Additionally‚ Obi and his wife are greatly influenced by the western beliefs; this can be shown from their plan to make the school compound into “a place of beauty” by accommodating the compound with flowers and hedges that symbolize western ideas.

"El Topo" (The Mole; 鼹鼠) (1970) (ACID WESTERN / SURREALISM / ART-HOUSE) "El Topo" (English title: "The Mole"‚ Chinese title: "鼹鼠") is a very weird movie which can be described as mix of acid western and surreal art-house feature.
