Interesting movie, part reasoning and perception

I have heard about the film for a long time, but I haven’t watched it because of my prejudice against Korean films. I watched it with my friends today and felt that it was the right way. The slow rhythm is very suitable for me who is slow.
After reading it in the slapstick of my friends, I felt a little unfinished, so I read some movie reviews, including the one that imdb is very popular, and talk about my analysis:
1. From the sequence of flashback photos, I guessed that the stepmother is my father's colleague Or the nurse may hook up with the father by directly participating in home care after the mother is seriously ill; the father also chooses beauty because he dislikes his seriously ill wife. This is the first original sin of the film and the starting point of the sister's resentment, but Not the biggest one.
2. The mother may be mentally ill, and I forgot whether there is an explanation in the film. The scene before the mother commits suicide is that the younger sister cried to her because of the grievances of the mistress. However, the mother's serious illness and the blatant arrogance from the mistress aggravated the mother's self-blame for her incompetence, and the daughter was bullied, so she chose impulsive She committed suicide by hiding in the closet after her daughter was asleep (there are relatives downstairs, this psychological aspect reflects the mother's fear and incompetence).
3. Does my sister know the cause of my sister's death? A lot of inferences say I don't know, I think I know. First, there is no doubt about the time when my sister learned of her sister's death later on the day of the accident; second, there are two shots in the film that suggest the clock time of 12:46, which is the time when my sister died and my sister's stepmother was torn apart. , in the first shot, my sister deliberately messed up the clock to show that she was unwilling to face and knew the moment the whole incident happened. According to her own memory and reasoning, especially the stepmother's sentence "you will regret", she would want to understand that it was The stepmother could not be saved, and the imaginary stepmother at the end was avenged precisely because she knew who the culprit was in the whole thing; thirdly, at the end, the mysterious man communicated with his father and nurse about his sister's condition, and then together they had a meaningful discussion. Looking at her stepmother, it is likely that she found the knot of the disease in her communication with her sister and learned about the whole process of her sister's death.
4. From the fact that my sister has always been reluctant to face her sister's death (the person who loves the most in the world, some people say that this film has a lily tendency==), it can be seen that my sister has always been reluctant to open up her heart to communicate with her father ( Partly because of the resentment against his father's cheating), so even if the sister knows the truth of the whole incident, obviously the father is in the dark, which is the reason why the father does not understand the real situation of the sister's madness and illness and did not divorce his stepmother.
5. The relatives' illness reproduced the pain at the moment of the sister's death, exaggerating the painful resentment of the two sisters. Really haunted right now.
6. The ghost of the mother may not exist, it should have been in my sister's dream once; the girl with green clothes and long hair is the ghost of her sister (normal and not scary), the long hair is explained by the previous hairstyle, the green The clothes appeared in the closet and in the photo frame once; the girl in green only appeared once (before and after the relative's illness). According to the reasoning, the appearance this time was just for the younger sister to remind her sister to face the reality that her younger sister was dead, and other than that, she did not appear. It was probably also out of love for her sister not to frighten her.
7. According to the different placement of the wardrobe, it is inferred that the stepmother's revenge is just the sister's imagination (another hint is that the stepmother opened the curtains in the sister's room and found that there was nothing in the picture frame, which means that the sister realized that the sister was dead. is dismayed, apparently the way this stream of consciousness manifests is imaginary).
8. The image of the elder sister’s brain and her mother was deliberately distorted and ugly (the stepmother is not too bad, she also wanted to rescue her when her sister was in an accident, and finally missed the rescue due to the thoughts of having a festival with her sister and the anger during the fight The reason is that he is unwilling to face his own faults. The more ugly he is, the more legitimate his sister loves her sister. She wanders in the sweetness of memories, her escape from her mistakes that indirectly kill her sister, her empathy and resentment towards her stepmother. Sad cycle.

The mother's image is actually weakened, and it is an introduction. The point is that the sisters are deeply in love. The tragedy comes from the misunderstanding of the person I love the most and the indifference of the stepmother. When everything can't go back, I can only jump into the warm In the vortex of memory and the infinitely magnified empathy and accusation, escape or split, unable to extricate oneself, just like that line, ghostly accompany.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------
ps (After careful analysis, I found that this film is too classic, the psychological suggestion under the tragic framework shows the helplessness of unwillingness to face the facts, and the split personality is reasonable and reasonable According to reports, all kinds of details are on the table, and there are many aftertastes. That fanatical fan of imdb has swiped 20 times, and it seems that it is indeed suitable for more swiping)

    It's a game of guessing who's dead and who's alive. It's not scary, it's like a comedy movie, and it's the last ten minutes before the real ghost movie starts. Lian Jingya is really beautiful

    1. The handling and design of the set and some shots are quite thoughtful; 2. The second half of the process is getting better and better; 3. The director has not provided the audience with a clear core context, which makes the audience unable to quickly understand the story. What is the truth? Is there really a ghost? Shadows of the past? Split personality? Mental illness? All the possibilities exist together. The director greedily presents every horror element in the film. There are good and bad in this way; 4. The ending is obvious, a sad story.
