An offbeat ghost story

This is by no means a "good-looking" movie in the traditional sense, and I even believe that most people will give up the show halfway through. I'm really glad that I didn't watch this movie in a movie theater. The first time I watched it, I was drowsy in the daytime, and I fell asleep after fifteen or six minutes. The second time I learned to be obedient, the first half was basically watched at 1.5x speed. Until another ghost said "I'm waiting for someone." "Who?" "I don't remember". hit directly. It was only later that I gradually started to feel it. The color of the whole film is gloomy, and the aspect ratio of 4:3 is very unique, which also adds a sense of depression. Although the rhythm of the second half is still relatively slow, the plot setting of the time reincarnation after that is simply a stroke of genius. Those who survived choose to leave the past behind and move on to a new life, while the ghosts who stayed behind were confined to their own obsessions. We didn't know what was written in the note at the end, and whether the soul was dissipated because of gratification or disappointment, I prefer to believe that it was a kind of relief, a kind of letting go, and a kind of epiphany. In short, it's an offbeat ghost story.
