Anna may be alive, but when she loses her fighting spirit to survive, it is no different from dying. A remark from the funeral director revealed the theme: Some people live, just eat and poop, just like death, but also let the living people lose their vitality, I must bury them.
Anna never believed that she was dead, and tried every means to escape from the funeral home; until she was persuaded by the funeral director, and finally the funeral director gave her a chance to let her go out, but she thought: it is better to die; then to see the mirror in the mouth The last longing for survival in the haze revealed her inner pain and struggle. She wants to live because she has too many regrets about life that she has not had time to realize. She wakes up every day, goes to work, eats and sleeps, wakes up again, and repeats the same life; her mother's experience has made her never dare to invest in true love for others, and she is dying to find that Paul is the only person she has ever loved. , but there is no chance to make up for his love for him. But living is too much trouble. . . As the funeral director said: Maybe you are afraid of death, but you are more afraid of living. So when the funeral director opened the door for Anna to "live", Anna backed away.
Life is short. Don't wait until you die to have regrets. Maybe this is also what the movie is trying to say through the mouth of the funeral director: everyone wants to be happy, and everyone doesn't want to die, but what are you doing when you are alive?
Red symbolizes blood, life and love. The color appears many times in the film, the color of Anna's hair, the nightdress on the "corpse", the color of Paul's car, the sign at the door of the car where Anna's accident was parked, and the lipstick Anna put on while lying in her coffin Wait, under the dark and gloomy tone of the movie, it is even more eye-catching, like the light of life swaying in the hands of death, so fragile and so stubborn
