male lead’s company is in crisis-the company appoints the male lead to come back to replace the dead ghost-the male lead visits his mother in the nursing home before leaving-the mother has a dream and then wakes up and sits Rise, death-after the man hosted the event, he rushed to his mother's cremation.
You read that right, this is the storyline of the real world, and all the stories that happened when the male lead went to the nursing home to pick up people were a dream of his mother.
Let me talk about why this is explained:
1. When the male lead is cremated by his mother, pay attention! There is a suitcase next to it. If you don’t rush back, how can you bring your suitcase to the cremation?
(1) Why do you say that you are coming back instead of before leaving? Because the deceased is the big one, it is not enough for the male lead not to hold a funeral. How could it be possible to take a suitcase to participate in the cremation? This is anti-human.
(2) The male protagonist brought the suitcase, indicating that he was in a hurry. From this, it can be inferred that his mother died almost shortly after he left. Because the only son could not come back when he was out of town, he decided to save it in the crematorium for a few days. For cremation, the son was obviously barely able to catch up with the cremation.
(3) The crematorium may not be able to contact the male lead before deciding to be cremated. The male lead should have received the cremation notice after leaving the nursing home, so he rushed. This can be inferred from the fact that there is no signal from the nursing home in the mother's dream. It shows that the place where the son goes is relatively remote, and there is no mobile phone signal, so he can't contact by mobile phone. This may not be a rare phenomenon in the United States. After all, it can be seen from the male protagonist going to the ravine to see his mother that the sanatorium is indeed relatively remote.
(4) The pastor asked the male lead, are you waiting for someone? The male protagonist said that there is no one, which just shows that mother and child depend on each other for life, basically no relatives have contacted each other, and the only male protagonist who can be contacted has lost contact, and the crematorium can’t contact other relatives, so he can only unilaterally decide to cremate. It is impossible to wait indefinitely.
(5) The son appeared to be very haggard. It was precisely because he had just struggled to complete the coaxing task, and the mother was notified that his mother was going to be cremated. Opportunities on one side are gone.
2. Before my mother died, she was awakened from a dream, and then flashed through many fragments: rice eel (let’s think so), blue bottle of vitamin water, female lead in the water, male lead in the water, old man in the dean’s office Old photos.
(1) It is impossible for a mother to have the ability to predict, even before death. And she woke up from a shock, obviously had a nightmare, and the director expressed it very clearly with the method of fragments, that is to say, these elements all appeared in the mother’s dream, and these elements constitute the main story line of the film. ——The story in the dream.
(2) If you insist on explaining that if it is a fantasy style, is it foreseeable? Then there is still the problem of the box. In the dream world, the male protagonist did not bring a suitcase from beginning to end! ! ! In addition, the dialogue and attitude of the male lead when he met the directors of the company showed that the male lead intended to be with the female lead, and he no longer cared about the work. But when you see the male lead participating in the cremation, the clothes are formal and neat, not the embarrassing and broken suit when he finally left.
(3) Someone may say that people are not allowed to change clothes. Then I can only say that he has the skill to change clothes, so why doesn't he keep his suitcase at home? The male protagonist has no suitcases throughout the film, and when he finally ran away, he was breezy with two sleeves. How did he change his clothes? Of course it's going to go home for a change. He can go home, and will he go to the fucking funeral with his suitcase? What if you say you can’t buy clothes and change them locally? A man who doesn’t have anything is enough to buy a set of clothes, but also a fart suitcase? ! My mother is about to be cremated, and you may not even be able to see the last side. Want to fuck your suitcase?
From the above two most important points, the realistic timeline and dream timeline of the story can be judged.
The most important problem is solved. The whole film is a mother’s dream, and the rest is much easier. All the unreasonable places in the film, which seem to be the mental classification of the male protagonist, the appearance of hallucinations, etc., can all be explained as dreams. Is your dream still logical? Of course it's impossible, dreams are inherently weird, and everything that happens in dreams is normal! ! !
I believe that everyone can understand the story line in the dream. Of course, there must be some illogical things that they don't understand, but it doesn't matter, it's just a terrifying dream, there is no need to be too real. So I won't talk about the story line in the dream, the general story flow can be understood, and the suspenseful details do not need to be detailed.
Since we are not talking about the story line in the dream, what shall we say? Of course it's what the movie wants to express.
1. Expressing the mother’s desire for someone to be with her
(1) The heroine is actually the incarnation of the mother. The heroine has the age of an old man but the mind and appearance of a girl. I have to say that in a woman’s dream, even if they are I know that I am old, but I still think that I am still a girl, regardless of my mind or appearance.
(2) My mother has been working as a ballerina, even holding the ballerina in her hand before she died. It can be seen that my mother misses her youth very much, and it can be said that every ballerina is herself. Mother can't extricate herself from being immersed in this world, which can be seen by telling her son that the ballerina closed her eyes because she is dreaming. Mother is really lonely, she can only lie to herself and immerse herself in the world at her best age, so that she can get a little comfort. Making ballet villains is her spiritual backing. Moreover, in the footage before the death of the mother, the posture of the heroine in the water is very similar to that of the ballerina. It can also be seen that the heroine is the incarnation of the ballerina and the spiritual incarnation of the mother!
(3) I personally think that when my mother gave the ballerina with her eyes closed to the male lead, she actually had a premonition that she would wake up from her dream, that is, she would die. After all, dreams are called dreams in your own hands. Putting them in the hands of others will only make you realize that you are dreaming. The mother also wants to leave her beautiful appearance in her son's heart. After all, foreigners are very particular about this. The mother must hope that she is as beautiful as a ballerina in her son's heart. Death is also peaceful and beautiful in a dream.
(4) The hostess once said to the dean that he is different, he is very young, and different from others. It can also be seen that the mother longs for a young heart, wants to be with young people, and does not want to be with old men and old ladies. But the dean refused to let the female lead out, which is equivalent to the fact that the mother was not allowed to leave the nursing home. Yes, if she leaves the nursing home, her son will not be able to work with peace of mind. For the sake of her son's career, she can't add to the burden on his already exhausted son. She can only choose to spend the rest of her life in the nursing home. The sudden heart death of passers-by with excellent opening scores shows how hard the job is.
(5) When the hostess completely leaves the nursing home, it is when the mother dies. This is a bit interesting to explain, and it is related to the strange smile of the male protagonist in the last scene. I think many people don’t understand why the hero laughs so strangely, and some people think that the director is playing mystery, but the fact is just the opposite. This is exactly the echo! What does the mother desire? It's freedom, it's the ability to live with my son and not be alone anymore. What does the hostess desire? It is to leave the nursing home, to be free, to be able to live with the male lead. If the hostess leaves the nursing home, it is equivalent to the mother leaving the nursing home. So where does the mother go after leaving the nursing home? Going to another nursing home by the sea! This is what the male lead said in the dialogue before the male lead's departure. If the trip goes well, he will be promoted and raised, and then his mother will be sent to a better nursing home. So in the end the male lead smiled so strangely, doesn't it feel like the dean's smile? Yes, the heroine left this sanatorium, but stepped into another devil's trap, that is, the trap of the heroine. This is also the expression of the mother’s despair. The son laughed so strangely because she knew in her heart that the son would never live with him. Leaving this sanatorium and the sanatorium by the sea, all this is like walking Into another hell. If the first sanatorium represents real helplessness, then the sanatorium by the sea means that the son knows that he does not like the sanatorium, but still sends her to a higher-level sanatorium for his own peace of mind. She really gave up and was really afraid. Isn't the sea farther away? Wouldn’t it be more difficult to see your son? So the last weird and evil smile of the male protagonist is entirely an explanation for the mother to see through all this.
(6) What does the mother hope for? It is the son who has made enough money to spend the rest of his life with him. The son asked his mother, do you like this nursing home? In fact, it also illustrates an important issue! This is the first time his son came to see her after his mother entered this nursing home, otherwise he wouldn't ask such things as "Do you like this nursing home?" There are two possibilities here, one is that she has just sent her mother to a nursing home, and the other is that she has just changed his mother to a nursing home. I prefer the second one. Because at the beginning of the movie, it was stated that his status and ability were definitely not just a rookie, but had worked hard to achieve some results, then he should have sent his mother to the nursing home long ago. That's why the mother hates fear in the nursing home because she has stayed enough! When the mother said, "I'm just waiting for death in the nursing home," the son's response was "Then I'll change you to a better nursing home by the sea." Explain that the son knows that his mother is unwilling to be in a nursing home, but in order to reduce his guilt, he can only change his mother to a better nursing home to alleviate his guilt towards his mother.
(7) The horror castle sanatorium in the dream is a fantasy based on the mother’s current sanatorium. The deaths of the patients in the castle sanatorium are in response to the mother's seeing the old deaths of old people in reality. Many people die of old age with haggard faces, which also corresponds to the image of the old people dying from dehydration in the dream. In the dream, all the details in reality are huge and exaggerated.
2. Expressed that the mother has never walked out of the shadow of the widowed husband.
(1) The deadliest thing that runs through the film is water. Pay attention to three details:
①The clip after the mother woke up showed the male protagonist drowning.
②When the son was drowning in the dream, he recalled the way his father dived, but this time he finally saw his father’s face. The Lord looks very similar (although everyone knows that it was performed by one person, but it must be said that this is what the performance wants to express).
③When the male protagonist in the dream talked to the surrogate (the person whom the senior management asked the male protagonist to find), the surrogate once said that they were sorry for the male protagonist’s father, but all these were normal business methods, but the male protagonist’s father did not survive. It finally collapsed and committed suicide.
Because the premise is that all of this is a mother’s dream, so it seems that the son was stimulated by his father’s jumping into the river, selectively forgetting everything, and savoring everything, but the mother was stimulated by her husband’s jumping into the river, but because there is another son To support, she must choose to forget the pain and stand up to support the family, at least to allow her son to grow up smoothly. Because it is a dream, the dialogue between the male lead and the survivor must not happen in reality. This dialogue shows that the mother knows everything that happened in the past, knows all the inside stories, and knows that the death of her husband was scammed (commercial warfare). Maybe it's so cruel. I don't quite understand this aspect, but from my son's reaction, it can be seen that this kind of commercial method cannot be broken by itself and cannot be blamed by others). However, it can be seen from the fact that his son was still in the financial industry at the beginning and did not show the motivation for revenge from beginning to end. It can be seen that the mother buried everything in her heart and did not explain everything to her son. She hopes that her son can have a normal childhood, and she has been guarding her son silently.
(2) The hostess said that she can see things underwater.
I think the thing the hostess can see is undoubtedly rice eel. If you pay attention to the rice field eel in the film, it always swims in a whirlpool shape. The whirlpool formed by the rice field eel is actually the river water that swallows the male protagonist's father, the imagery of the world in the dream. This can smoothly explain why the hostess said that he can see things in the bottomless water that looks like a black hole, because all this is the mother’s imagination, and the mother has a deep fear of water. Of course, the hostess who is the incarnation of the mother can Seeing the surging sugar under the seemingly calm water surface, waiting for the opportunity to swallow people in one bite at any time.
(3) Monopterus albus-a bridge that connects water and life-sustaining vitamins
①The interesting setting in the film: water is poisonous, people who drink water + rice field eel + unknown filtering effect = life-sustaining vitamin water .
②At the beginning of the film, a series of perverted remarks were emphasized about obsessing with pure blood, purifying the body with water, hydrotherapy, and exchanging body fluids with the water here.
③In the film, people drink and soak in the water for treatment, and the dead body in the glass jar seen by the hero corresponds to the death of the hero's father. Soaked in the water, I don't know how much he drank before he died. River water.
I think this is a kind of self-protection mechanism. It turns the fatal and fearful rice eel (the vortex of the river that swallows the husband) into something that is beneficial to her through a certain experiment (people drink the water and then swallow the rice eel) (vitamins that prolong life). water). This is her way to overcome her fear, and it is a kind of self-hypnosis. When everyone else died because of the water, she got the continuation of her life through the death of others. This is also about how to successfully overcome everything in the face of her drowned husband, and find hope from it to be strong, because she still has a son to take care of. In this way, she succeeded in finding out how to overcome her fear and maintain a better mental state.
3. It's time to wake up from the dream. I did what I promised. The mother's last love for her son.
(1) Even if the mother came up with such a dream to dissolve her fears and get out of the shadow of the widowed husband. However, we can still see that the surface of the dream world (the external environment of the nursing home) is sunny, but the interior is low but dark and oppressive. Yes, no matter how you deceive yourself, you can't change the fact of suppressing fear. No matter how much he lives for himself, it can't change the fact that someone has died. Under the glamorous and beautiful appearance is the ugly and broken soul. This is exactly what the mother has always done, overcoming all this for her son.
(2) The female protagonist longed for the companionship of the male lead, but still sent the male lead away. At the beginning, the film expresses the heroine's curiosity and affection for the hero, but towards the end, she wakes up the hero with a ballet point and lets the hero escape. The mother who bears all this is of course eager to find someone to talk to and understand, but she has nothing but her son, and can't let her son know everything, because she was determined to protect her son. So when the male protagonist had discovered all this, the female protagonist said that the dream should wake up, both for the male protagonist and for herself. Letting her son go through all this in a dream is equivalent to telling her the secrets she has buried in her heart for many years. This is enough. How can she bear the heart to trap the male protagonist here forever? Not even in a dream, this is the power of maternal love. So she knew that the dream should wake up. Because of the existence of vitamin water, the mother can really imprison the male protagonist for a lifetime in the dream world, but the effect has also been seen. The male protagonist has become a walking dead like other people. This also expresses the reason why the mother never said the words "you stay with me" from start to finish, because the mother knows that even if she lets her son stay with him, the son's heart will not be on her. Her heart is still tied to work. She can keep her son, but she can't keep his son's heart. This way, she will not be happy, and it will even involve her son. The hostess is the incarnation of the mother, so she has to fulfill her mother's mission-to take her son away from this quagmire. Therefore, the heroine fulfilled her mother's will and gave the ballerina to the hero and let him escape. At the same time, the heroine is also ready to accept the fate, but when the heroine is XX by the dean, she is still unwilling (this alludes to the real world's continued life in the nursing home). She longs for the male protagonist to rescue her like a fairy tale (insinuates that her son takes her out of the nursing home and spends her old age with her). In the dream, the male protagonist did. But in the end, the strange and dangerous smile of the male lead also made her realize that it was indeed time to wake up from the dream. She has fulfilled her mission to nurture and grow up her son, and his son has a successful career.
(3) While the mother deceived herself to eliminate the shadow of her husband's death, she was suffering and waiting for her son to accompany her to enjoy her old age. The dream should wake up. It shows that the mother finally decided to accept the death of her husband, and it also shows that she no longer expects her son to accompany her to enjoy the sweet dream of her old age. There is only one way to get the best of both worlds, and that is to let go-death.
(4) In fact, the tone of the dream is expressed when the male protagonist gets on the train. Remember the little girl sitting next to the male protagonist painted a little demon head on the window? In fact, from the beginning of the dream, the mother hinted that this was destined to be an unrestful journey, which also showed that the mother subconsciously wanted to tell the male protagonist all this.
3. Satirize the financial industry, fast-paced life, and pension issues. I don't want to elaborate on this one, you know the reason.
From the atmosphere of the whole film, you can see how depressing and terrifying the mother's dreams are. The mother has endured everything for so many years and treats her son very gently. This can be felt through the male protagonist’s attitude towards his mother, as well as his conversations with conductors, telephones, nurses, deans, drivers, etc. He is a very arrogant and arrogant person. This also shows that his mother is very arrogant. His care was so excessive that he developed such a character that is a bit older. If his mother’s depression is expressed, I think the male protagonist will definitely not have this kind of personality.
Finally, let’s talk about it, the title of life-saving antidote, then what is this life-saving antidote? Yes, the antidote is maternal love. The mother is relying on maternal love to survive until now, and it is the maternal love that makes her strong, otherwise, perhaps her mental breakdown would have been long ago. Isn't the life essence squeezed from the human body the mother's squeeze on herself? Overdraft to squeeze out your own strength? ! ! The mother's heart has long been riddled with holes, but relying on the power of maternal love to shape a perfect mother-like shell with strength, this is the essence of life-saving antidote.
