unforgettable love

Since the progress of the plot in the middle is a little slow, I accidentally (in fact, intentionally) read other people's comments, and probably knew the development direction of the plot, so I may have been influenced by predecessors in understanding.
At the beginning, I once imagined that Simon was imagined by Lola. In time, someone went a step further and put forward the so-called three-layer illusory idea, which is actually not impossible. But from the bottom of my heart, I still prefer to believe that this is a movie that expresses the greatness of maternal love.
The ghosts involved, I think, can be understood as real existence, or they can be understood as just imaginations in consciousness, but as the psychic said, the so-called soul may be a kind of consciousness left by the departed person, just Just like physical objects will leave traces, will the strong consciousness of human beings also leave traces, which will not dissipate after a long time, and can still be obtained through some special method. For example, resentment, such as longing, things at the spiritual level are converted into special forms and preserved.
I just happened to be watching Taiwan's "Girls of Death" recently. The concept in it is that if you can't get over it, it becomes a stone. When I was watching the movie, I kept thinking, if you can let go of it, everyone will feel more relaxed. But if that's the case, that person seems too inhuman.

The Orphanage quotes

  • Simón: [while reading Peter Pan] Wendy grows old and dies?

    Laura: Wendy grows old, but Peter Pan takes her daughter to Neverland every year.

    Simón: Why doesn't Wendy go, too? If Peter Pan came to get me, would you come, too?

    Laura: No. I'm too old to go to Neverland, darling.

    Simón: How old are you?

    Laura: Thirty-seven.

    Simón: At what age will you die?

    Laura: What sort of question is that? Not for a long time, until you're very old.

    Simón: I won't grow old. I'm not going to grow up.

    Laura: Will you be like Peter Pan?

    Simón: Like my new friends.

    Laura: There's more than one?

    Simón: Six.

    Laura: They won't grow up either?

    Simón: They can't.

  • Aurora: Seeing is not believing. It's the other way around. Believe, and you will see.
