Abstract:

The film Jinpa initiates Pema Tseden's cinematic exploration of magical realism through symbolic visual language and an

allegorical narrative framework. By artfully deploying three sets of mirrored symbols—the Tibetan protagonist Jinpa, the sheep, and the

song O Sole Mio—the work delve into the dialectical "two sides of one entity" embedded in Tibetan ethics, including perseverance and

renunciation, the sacred and the profane, good and evil. It reflects the contemporary coexistence of traditional concepts and modern

consciousness in Tibetan regions, embodying a strong sense of artistic vanguardism and philosophical speculation.

Key words:

Pema Tseden, Jinpa, magical realism, two sides of one entity
