reflect occasionally

The plot of the movie can be said to have no authenticity at all, let's say the buttoned envelope is confused. You can tell whether the button is inside or not with just a squeeze of your hand. I believe everyone will check some things about life and death. It's a bit deliberately arranged for this ending. But why arrange the ending like this? That's what the gist of the film is about.
The first fairness: The fairness in the film is very consistent with the real society, but there is no fairness at all. Our wicked and helpless old Mrs. Ganash has worked hard all her life, but because of medical problems, even her property has to be repossessed by the bank. Our heroine was angered and went to hell despite her best efforts to resist. Our affectionate boyfriend, who believes in his lover, gives his heart and soul for the one he loves, only to see his loved one being dragged into hell. Our kind and great psychic has waited for 40 years all his life, just for the sake of his own regrets, and ended up delaying one night with his own life. There's no fairness here, but the film still gives us the hope that our sly and selfish job contenders get their due.
Second self-salvation: The self-salvation of Mrs. Ganash is self-destruction, and her life situation may be related to the various curses she holds in her hands. I just want to live a good life, but I didn't expect that I would lose my property in the end, and I would be disgraced in front of a girl of the granddaughter's generation. So he imposed self-destruction on himself and imposed his resentment on this girl. At that moment, Corristina was ruled by her selfish and cruel side, but she was forced to start self-redemption by cursing Jiashen. Although the road to redemption is bumpy, but in the plot, in order to highlight the ending and cause people to think, she was forced to go to hell. Clay did not really start self-redemption in the film, but in the end, he watched his lover go to hell with his own eyes, and it is estimated that he will start a journey of self-redemption. What about the psychic classmates? She, she has always achieved consummation in the end of self-salvation.
The third triggers people's reflection: the original intention is good, but it is almost useless if it is too deliberate. We can say that this is how the plot develops, and this is how things happened. But not real enough, not elegant enough, not strong enough. It gives people a hard feeling, and it's a little bit closer to the masterpiece, but that's it. That is the difference between the master and the ordinary. However, I am still grateful for such movies for allowing us to reflect, to see the bad side of society, and to want to sacrifice a little more for others.
