An excerpt from the film's final monologue: "Usually the end of things is death, but first there is life. And many of them, I can't say enough... In fact, everything settles in glitz. Silence is emotion. Just as love is also fear. A beautiful light, wild and impermanent. Those hard, tragic and painful lives are buried under the embarrassment of being born as a human being. I don't care about flashiness, so that's where the novel begins. And in the end, it's just a trick. Yes, it's a trick."
One might ask, why do we have to die when it's so beautiful to be born in this world? In fact, the beauty of this life is enough, why bother about death and pain?
