A planet to be explored, some knowledge beyond human knowledge - this film seems to be a science fiction film, but the times limit science fiction technology, and the audience gradually understands that this is a suspenseful philosophical film. Humans try to find life outside the earth, but no one has ever thought that the new planet itself is life, and its oceans can read human consciousness and create false existences - it sounds like the Eden where the ambitions are infinitely satisfied. The male protagonist was supposed to be the revealer, but instead he got into the game, using the creativity of the sea to trap himself in an "ideal family" and become a permanent resident of the planet. The film is slow-paced, and every story point is fully rolled out, so much so that it's 160 minutes long. Therefore, it also leaves enough loopholes to confuse the audience: Does the matter created by the planet really evolve thoughts on its own? Or is every evolution a reappearance of new human desires? Why does the "wife" choose to die and disappear, but the clothing (a cloak) that appears with her persists for a long time? In the small wooden house created by the hero using the sea, he witnessed the strange picture of "father" not afraid of boiling water, he must understand that this is a replica, why is he still willing to kneel on "father" and be a dutiful son? In the film, recalling parents and childhood are seemingly unimportant episodes, just to explain what the conscious figuration is. However, the final destination of the male protagonist is a replica of his memory, which seems to show that the endless regrets and desires of a person's life always return to the family in a small way.
