Life and death, the eternal question of mankind. Seeing life and death as the eternal confrontation between power and will, which one or both of freedom, emotion or consciousness can cross the boundary between life and death? Ramon's single-minded desire for death, or as a plea for his rebirth, is explained in the film as the motive for establishing the dignity of the ultimate power of the self. Public opinion simply believes that Xiang Sheng is right, and suicide is shameful, because of the so-called lack of morality and human feelings. For example, the criticism of the church caused the shame and anger of Ramon's family, but it can be seen from the film. Seeing that ordinary people are still warm and affectionate despite being forced by life from beginning to end. The loss of the body leads to a change in the worldview, which is very common but not understood by most people, although many people can sing a high-pitched voice without any feelings and scruples: Although the body is precious, there are more precious thoughts to rely on. It is true that Ramon's thoughts never stagnated, even deeper than others, and he awakened by suicide, until he was gradually recognized by the female lawyer and Rosa (personally think that one represents the disabled body, the other represents the disabled group), we Life consists of two parts, body and life, which can also be understood as free power and social consciousness. Dignity is superficial, freedom is inner, life is appearance, and death is essence, just as the essence of the body is death, once the body approaches or dies, everything outside (such as friendship, family affection, reproduction expressed in the film) etc.) disappears, just as the female lawyer asks at the end of the credits, "Who is Ramon?". It is a pity that human society has put the cart before the horse, paying too much attention to appearances and ignoring the essence. In the film, Ramon went through blood and flesh, that is, through death, so I think the director wants us to pay attention to death and cherish life instead.
