When I opened this door, I met you as I wished.

Looking at the movie record, I saw this movie for the first time in 2012. At that time, I wasn't interested in the mind, out of the body, and spirit. After I scored three points, I forgot about it.

Since 2013, because I missed someone too much, I kept trying to create a fantasy to meet him in the Qingming dream. Although it was not so successful, as long as there is a little feeling, it is indeed so real. With his own thoughts and a little vague memory of what he looked like in his dreams, he struggled to outline his face and body. Every time I wake up from a dream, I'm looking for him, in the woods, on the hillside, everywhere, as long as I have a little thought, I'm making a place or a door, wondering if it will open the door? It's him.

There was an experience that I will never forget in my life. One morning with a gentle breeze, my spiritual body swayed gently and leisurely to a seaside, the sea was calm, and there was a faint sunrise in the distance. I felt a cool breeze blowing against my body. I clearly remember that I stood there foolishly, and suddenly became sad, I was facing the sea, and I was screaming in my heart, why I searched all over the world, but couldn't find him, and found this person who made me think about it day and night! I was startled myself, and had such a lucid sadness in my dreams.

Going back to this drama, the subject matter is very alienated and profound, the plot is dark and brilliant, the suspense laid out is smooth, and the final outcome is completed in one go. Not to mention the successful casting and the two stunning stage effects of the heroine, these are the icing on the cake. In addition to the shocking sensory effects, the play proposes a series of thoughts, which are about the soul, about what a person is, about family love, and about how human beings achieve the human world. "The Truman World" with the same theme is far from such a profound meaning.

The following points are the most impressive:

1: Background and subject matter:

An alien spirit body that is about to become extinct uses the body of a dead person to gain the ability to exist as a human society. With the help of the test objects captured from the earth, he creates a star similar to a human city in a lonely universe and uses his thoughts to create a star. Control it, control the memory of each test subject character.

2. In the play

When visiting the male protagonist in prison, the female protagonist said after hearing the truth: Although I don't know if my memory is true or not, I know that I love you, which cannot be deceived. The male protagonist breaks the window and kisses the female protagonist through his thoughts.

3. The end

The last dialogue between the dying alien and the male protagonist, the alien said that they had done so many experiments, but they still failed to become a human-like race, why? The male protagonist pointed to his head and said, you thought you could find the answer here, but you are looking in the wrong place. (Here he should mean that the answer can only be found from the human mind)

4. The ending

The male protagonist relies on his powerful thoughts to create the blue sea and blue sky that has been in his memory but has never been able to reach. The moment the door is opened, the female protagonist is standing on the sunny seaside.

Is the world really that important? Is the world we humans live in real? Or is it just a utopia created by an idea, just like the city in the play? If this is the case, then there must be so many beautiful souls and hearts who share a common vision of a beautiful yearning, and have achieved such an incomparably beautiful human world.

There is a soul, but also a longing heart. That's the human difference.

Cherish this hard-won world. In this world, there is the scenery I want. When I opened this door, I met you as I wished.
