Just finished watching Mark Ruffalo's "Reservation Road", also about the life of a couple who lost a child, but that one is more about revenge and redemption, this one is about self-healing. The only thing that is the same is that no one will feel better, it is difficult to survive, all parents are the same, 8 months, 8 years, or a lifetime, that kind of miss is as hard to pull out as it goes deep into the bone marrow.
Nicole's mother recounts how it feels to lose her son for so long: Sometimes you don't find it so hard to accept, sometimes you see through him, you can't even remember him for a while, but always come back to remind you that he's there.
The symbolic meaning of the film title "Rabbit Hole" is: entering the rabbit hole will enter a parallel universe, where there are countless selves, countless worlds, and each world is running in parallel. So in this world you are sad, maybe in some world you are living happily. This idea has a coincidence with "Source Code".
The director suggested that this could be a means of healing, a thought, a seed.
But in the end, nobody prepares for that, no one will prepare for that, no one can face it calmly.
Maybe we were not smart enough to see the world; maybe we just enjoyed the good times and hoped that it would last forever. So we can't afford good things to be taken away, for a long, long time.
Is this a human tragedy?
Are there any possible solutions other than "rabbit hole" and "source code"?
