At the end of the whole film, I feel that the author is trying to make things mysterious. In order to prolong the film time, he deliberately inserted some false clues to mislead the audience, which is actually meaningless.
The author obviously deliberately blurs the point of whether the heroine is dead or alive, so as to attract others to watch it. There is another reason, which is also the author's creative center: after death, the soul is in a state of struggle between life and death. People only remember to cherish life after death. The author's original intention is to persuade the audience to cherish the present and live in the present, which is still a common topic.
It's a pity that the director or screenwriter's skills are too poor. Originally, they wanted to take into account the viewing pleasure while reasoning, and deliberately inserted some unusual behaviors of the funeral host to create suspense. It's a pity that it was self-defeating. Some superfluous practices led the audience to go astray. When most people watched the film, they were bent on finding clues from the film to prove that it was a murder. Because when the audience is talking while the heroine is lying on the corpse bed, the audience has gradually established in their hearts the preconceived view that the heroine is not dead. As long as a little unusual detail is discovered later, it is immediately engraved into the mind as evidence, and other phenomena that clearly prove that the heroine is dead are naturally ignored by everyone.
Seriously, if the audience didn't want to know whether the heroine was alive or dead, I'm afraid not many people would watch it.
Because the author knows that his own content is empty and powerless, and he only has one great principle of life, he knows that it will not attract the audience, so he deliberately creates a suspenseful atmosphere.
For example, the male protagonist deliberately stared at the wall when he took the last photo of the dead man. And in order to prevent the corpse from becoming rigid, a sedative was deliberately used. Since the heroine is a soul, it should be empty, but it is set to defeat the real thing. These pretentious behaviors to lure the audience are the biggest loopholes.
The female protagonist is indeed dead, and there are several proofs: 1. After the policeman's younger brother came in, the male protagonist also talked to him, scolded him, and deliberately painted him lipstick.
2. When the female lead called the male lead, she spoke loudly. The reality is that it doesn't work. If she can really get on the phone, the heroine will definitely call the police first, but she imagines that the line is busy.
3. If the female protagonist is a living person, it is impossible for the male protagonist not to tie her up and set her free. It is obviously not enough to lock a living person with a lock. Don't forget that there are many big men in the morgue.
4. The heroine never said that she was thirsty or hungry. There were several days between after her death and the funeral. Even if a living person can hold back hunger, it is impossible for a living person to hold back thirst. The male protagonist never gave the female protagonist water to drink.
5. When the male protagonist sewed the female protagonist's wound, the female protagonist's wound did not bleed. Just imagine, a large living person will not bleed out of such a big wound. Only dead people, when the blood stops flowing, the wound will not bleed.
6. After the death of the deceased, the male protagonist still asked his family members to visit the corpse, and the family members also had contact with the corpse. In close contact, even kissing, it is impossible not to feel that the deceased is alive, if the heroine is really alive.
7. In the film, the male protagonist has answered the phone, and someone asked him to receive the body, apparently from the hospital forensic doctor. The heroine died in a car crash. The law stipulates that the forensic doctor must issue an autopsy report. Don't really treat the forensic doctor as an idiot. After decades of writing, you will not read it in vain. Don't forget that there is a wall in the man's room. Also stick together. That is to say, if the female lead was murdered, the wall in the male lead's room was also murdered. Is this possible? Is the hero really a god? Obviously impossible, and he doesn't have that much power. He is just a lonely old man who is accompanied by corpses day and night, and no one communicates with him.
As for the child, it was obvious that he was a person with yin and yang eyes, so there was nothing strange about him.
The film did not give a clear answer at the end, but this is the usual practice of Americans self-righteous. From Paul's car accident, it can be seen that they are indeed corpses, and there is no conspiracy. The author deliberately left a lot of clues to mislead the audience, but said the big truth of life for an hour!
As for why the author left a lot of bloody clues, I checked Baidu Encyclopedia on the Internet, and it mentioned a tidbit of the movie.
Originally, this script was just a 30-minute short script by the author. Later, because of the appreciation of the script by businessmen, he invested in making it into a commercial film for me.
The word business should always solve the doubts in everyone's heart, right? The author not only wants to abide by his artistic mission, but also cannot violate the investor's business speculation thinking, adding a bunch of plausible clues is obviously normal.
