The protagonist has been denying his superpowers because of his mother's death. As he said, his mother felt sick in her stomach, so she found a psychic. In fact, the psychic was the actor himself. He told his mother that it was gastritis, but his mother died of stomach cancer. He has always blamed himself for this, so he has always forced himself to use science to explain everything and deny his superpowers. This is why he followed Dr. Matheson, and he gradually regarded Matheson as his own mother, but in the end, he But he didn't tell Matheson, who never believed in superpowers, that there was a superpower next to her.

Some people say that Matheson’s death is related to the male protagonist. I don’t agree with this point. At 20 minutes of the film, there was a scene where Matheson was looking up Silver's information on the computer. He was suddenly upset. Then he found a bottle of medicine and swallowed a few pills. . And she told the actor that if it weren't for him, she might not be able to hold on anymore, she was old. In fact, they are all paving the way for Matheson's death. Later, the media also reported that Matheson had cardiovascular disease for many years, which should be the reason for her sudden death.

The last thing he said while standing in front of Silver was actually speaking to himself. He lost two people who were close to him, but he did nothing: time goes by, you always think you have time, In the end, there is nothing, but time will not stop. In the end, after a lot of time has passed, you realize that you have not done what you should have done, and then you wake up.

The protagonist’s abilities are very scary. First, he has telepathy, so he knows that Matheson will mention "bones" in an interview; second, his subconscious mind can make imagination come true, for example, he imagines himself He was threatened, so a bird hit the door of his house. The house was messed up by others. When he hit the Silver field for the first time, Silver did not have the superpowers to destroy his equipment, but the male protagonist. His fear makes everything a reality. There is a scene where Silver can be seen and I am surprised; third, what everyone sees is that he can really launch an earthquake based on his own consciousness. This earthquake was intentionally used by him. Super-initiated, the power is visible.

If you can watch this movie twice, you will feel very sad. At least I am now...
