The director's editing is great~ the heroine Florence is dead but controversial

As for whether F is dead, the director handles it very delicately, so it is easy for many people to think that F is dead. At first I thought so too, but there were signs of contradiction, so I read the ending three times again and confirmed: F is not dead.
Although F appeared again at the beginning of school, like a ghost, even the principal did not seem to see it, but the principal said that M was dead, that is, because of other things, she was very much loved. However, because F did not deal with this incident well, his condition was not good, and it was difficult for women to cope with high-level education (it is easy to numb claws when encountering tricky ones). When F arrived behind R, the dialogue between the two seemed like F was a ghost. When the little boy was tying his shoes, the director deliberately only showed the figure of R, making the audience mistakenly believe that there was no F. In fact, it was edited deliberately, R and F. There is a front-to-back distance. When performing F, the camera is from the front, and when R is from the side, this is misleading. In addition, when F walked by the children, many children said hello to her and saw her naturally. She also asked R to ask the driver to park the car at the end of the road. She wanted to take a walk.

The most favorable proof is that F said to R:
We can't see them. That's not the same as we foget them.

If F dies, she can say, People can't see us. It's not the same as they foget us.

Although the plot is old-fashioned and the concept is not new, the director's control of the entire screen and the application of tones make this film very interesting.
