First, the ending is the fourth story, the little boy's nightmare

The unbearable pain of life: The death of a close relative has brought endless pain and entanglement to Connor. While he does not want his mother to leave, he also hopes to end all this quickly, and his mother will die soon... I believe that many people are losing relatives When there is such a tangle, the relatives are full of guilt after the death

Story 1: People are complex people, and things are not black and white

The second story: Faith must be guarded with life

The third story: accepting who you are and opening your darkest side (from Crystal)

The three stories in the film seem to be juxtaposed, but in fact they are closely connected with the process of the little boy slowly opening his heart to the people around him.

First the father, then the grandmother, and finally the mother

The best ending is to let go because of love

At the same time, learn to be loved, learn to accept the darkest and most complete version of yourself... People are people who are between good and bad people. There is no absoluteness, and they must view themselves dialectically.

12.07 is a highlight, a clue. It is the time when the mother died and the time when the monster was summoned... Although the mother died, the memories of Connor are still there. The combination of the whole process and the ending creates an amazing ending.
