ulterior motive? !

I really don’t like the other translation of this film, "Ghost Tire", but it is more appropriate to translate it as "Dragonfly" as I like, because the dragonfly runs through the whole film until the end.
In the film, the wife of the doctor played by Kevin followed the Red Cross to Ecuador to help the local indigenous people. However, because of a mudslide on the way home, the bus plunged into the valley and no one survived. However, her body was never found when the body was salvaged afterwards. , So the doctor had a series of conjectures because of missing his wife, and with his wife’s beliefs, he found similar clues and finally returned to the village where he was killed and found his daughter. A dying female doctor miraculously climbed back to the village and gave birth to a healthy baby girl in the wilderness. There was a twisted cross on the baby girl’s leg as a family inherited birthmark. It is undeniable. It was regarded as a miracle, and the title of the ghost boy came from this.
I have been thinking that perhaps the so-called ghosts and gods’ dreams are just a kind of conjecture produced by the living people’s longing for the dead, but if the love of the dead for the living is expressed in the way of movies, I have always Don't think this is true love. People who are alive are still alive after all. Since they are alive, they must continue to live and enjoy life.

The deceased goes away, is this the love the deceased wants to express? ! If the deceased really loves the lover who remains in the world, why not let the lover live? ! Therefore, I was very uncomfortable watching this film until the last 20 minutes. Fortunately, in the end, the film opened up a new world, that is, the doctor found his own daughter. Although this daughter is called a "ghost child" by some people, at least from my point of view, the deceased's various acts of torturing the living are just To keep the child alive.
Phew...For me as a coward, it's overwhelming. I hate watching horror and horror the most in my life, but this time I am willing to take it out for Kevin...
PS I don't like the appearance of Kevin in the drama, it seems so vicissitudes... …

    I didn't understand at that time

    I have to say that this film is a bit anticlimactic. Most of the horror created by the time disappears at the moment when the child appears. People who are dying can see another world and speak for people in this world. What Joe needs to do is experience. When I was about to die once, it was puzzling that the content of the message was convoluted, so couldn't it be made clear at one time, and I had to draw a twisting cross again?

  • Hugh Campbell: You know what I think? I think you are literally going buggy living in that house. Yeah, you should move. You're rummaging around in an empty nursery, you're living with a talking parrot who won't even speak to you.
