This is a forced salvation-let go of your self-righteous heart, use thinking to discover who you are

After reading most film reviews, my feelings about this film are less words and more listening, but my feelings are slightly different from everyone. What I saw was a story of a man who was immersed in himself was forced to redeem himself.
Jack McCall is a eloquent and eloquent publishing agent, and he is also an extremely self-centered person. Everything starts from his own point of view.
For example:
with his superb eloquence fool people line up to buy coffee for him Teng open position;
with a variety of mouth pinched letter to then blocked hope he read the works of man's own mouth;
with the absurd remarks internship secretary of education;
in The ashram even lied to persuade Sanjia to sign a contract with him;
his wife was considering a change of residence for the child, but he was stubborn for no reason.
And all of this is based on one of his mouths. He uses his proud mouth to block other people's mouths, regardless of their feelings. Finally, by chance, he established an inexplicable connection with a magical tree, which restricted his verbal expression.
After his wife’s departure, the dismissal of the company, all kinds of encounters, and the death of the leaves, he found in despair that what he wanted to do before he died was also his true self. In the end, he did not fall because of the leaves. He died of light, but the tree grew full of leaves, and he was able to return to normal.
As stated at the beginning of this article, this is a forced salvation, a change that has to be made after being forced to a desperate situation by objective reality, rather than self-discovery in daily life.
Then I think the director wants to show a person's self-salvation process in the form of a thousand words on his deathbed. What the director wants to express is not pure silence is gold, but a quiet and peaceful state of mind and constant thinking about life and himself in this state of mind.
