My movie review is messier than the script

Some people are still alive when they are dead, and some people are alive and they are already dead.

This is neither suspense nor thriller, but a philosophical film.

At first I thought it was the heroine who died and her soul was still alive, but later I found out that it was all nonsense. She was still alive. She wanted to escape. She had a strong desire for life, but she didn't have such a strong will to support it. When she saw herself in the mirror, she compromised with "reality", but she was actually deceived by reality.

Everyone is afraid of the dark, but the little boy who appeared in the film is not, because he can only see his mother in the dark. I personally understand this. His mother did not pick him up after school. TV does nothing, such an abnormal mother must have been imagined by the little boy, just like he couldn't help going to the mortuary, he was attracted because there were people he nostalgic here.

Besides, Paul, in reality, people are always more rational than emotional, and occasionally being too emotional will be interpreted as abnormal by ordinary people. He has always been skeptical about the death of the heroine. He has tried but did not try his best. Her, but his love is not so thorough, it is not enough for the heroine who needs extreme love, and when he wants to seize the last chance, it is too late.

Let's talk about the mortuary. According to the film review, Satan is a devil. In fact, he is not scary, he is the shadow of reality. The heroine has an infinite desire for life, just as she has an infinite fear of living. When her candor gave her the opportunity to confess to Paul, she did not dare to step out the door. She has been struggling and contradicting, reality tells her she is dead, she desperately wants to prove that she is alive, reality tells her that she is still alive, but she can't face the reality as she longs to live. At the last moment, she was sure that she was still alive, but the mortuary gave her a dose of medicine because he knew that she could do nothing and was just wasting time. What the mortician said almost seemed very meaningful to me. She saw that she was angry, but she never had a chance.

Everyone inevitably has human weakness, more or less, the mortuary took the little boy and made him close to death; the mortuary instigated Paul to let him die, and he himself looked like a chaste In fact, the heroine said that she longed for love but was afraid of love. She was afraid of being hurt so she wanted to push Paul away. In fact, he was the only person she had ever loved. I think it was because he touched the soft part of the undertaker that he took the initiative to open the door and let her go, but her behavior disappointed him.

Living well, honestly, earnestly, and meaningfully is actually not that simple.
