It's actually pretty smooth~

To put it bluntly, Barkley has real supernatural powers and Simon is just a fake. First of all, this is a reversal drama. There are a lot of stalks at the beginning. Margaret and Buck use science to solve many fake and supernatural events. These are all for you to follow a main line: there is no supernatural in the world but science. But at the back there is this point of view: the world is not completely without superpowers. The contrast is too great, so many people think that they don’t understand. Secondly, the first half of Margaret and Barkley drove home at night. Margaret asked him why he did this with her. Barkley once said that it was because he didn’t believe it. He has supernatural abilities, and hates fake psychics for making his mother delay treatment, and is willing to use her life's strength to fight fake psychics and completely deny the work of supernatural abilities. In fact, it is to illustrate this point of view: If there is really no spiritual ability in the world, then he was innocent when he was helpless in the face of his dying mother; third, when Barkley had a nightmare, he himself drifted. I saw another myself lying on the bed in the air. In fact, this paragraph turned into a good ingenuity after the truth was revealed at the end of the film. Fourth, the mystery that Simon was able to guess the number was finally solved because of the two students, not Barkley. The reason for this is because Barkley is committed to scientifically deciphering the supernatural and is drowning in science. He missed so many obvious messages; the last point is the interpretation of Barkley's ending monologue. Barkley can’t control his talents and abilities, but he does have a strong ability to "wish things happen", so when he thought Simon would use super powers to intimidate him, the phone rang silently, and the bird hit the window for no reason. Death... He thought that Simon would be like the reporter 30 years ago when she threatened Margaret, Margaret was indeed dead... He did it all. So in the end, when he wanted to destroy the mechanism set up by Simon at the performance site, he still managed it (including the earthquake). Just because of Barkley's destruction, Simon, who thought he had no flaws in the careful layout, couldn't help asking: "How did you do it?!"
