The movie depicts all that a person faces in the dying time. It is amazing and creative to imagine how we will penetrate life and death. If we transition from life to death, what this movie reveals is that we have been thousands of years. I have been exploring and imagining the world after death and the process from life to death. Humans are actually just a kind of advanced social animals. This gives humans a communicative ability; to perceive others and to be perceived by others. Originally, this was just the instinct of interdependence as a weak individual; but now, this perception of and being perceived by others has surpassed the instinct and has become more of a manifestation of personal value. Perceive others, be perceived by others; this constructs a whole world of self and superego. It may be said that it is these two worlds that constitute a subjective world and an objective world and ultimately build our entire life. Through the lens of this movie, we have shown us a world of frightening imagination. Our perception is still there, but we can no longer let others perceive it. Invisibility, after all the beautiful desires for invisibility that we have always imagined become reality; everything may not be what we once desired anymore. Most of the movies I have watched on the subject of invisible people travel freely or non-freely between invisible and undiscovered; so when invisible, we can do many things that we usually want to do but dare not do. Pursue some truths that cannot be found because of the limitations of the body, and after the manifestation, we still have our ability to communicate and be perceived. However, in this movie, invisibility means impending death, which means that we will never be able to let others perceive our existence. Then our original ability to perceive the world and perceive others is still there, and this perception has What does that mean. Exist, and no longer be perceived by people. Existence becomes a sorrow of vain, helplessness, and meaninglessness; and this sorrow is given to ourselves by the ability to perceive the world that we still exist. The inability to talk and not to be perceived has become the most terrifying loneliness. There is a scene in the movie of walking through a bustling street. No matter what you do, whether you scream loudly or not, the people around you are indifferent. Is there any difference between such existence and the void of non-existence? The world as we know it will not change because of the existence or non-existence of someone. This is a fact that we have accepted. My existence makes the world meaningful to me, and my existence is not perceived by the world, where is the meaning of my existence. Existence is actually more important is whether our state of existence is perceived And to be recognized, this has become one of our most basic desires for survival. Looking at this movie from this point of view, the scene I mentioned earlier gave me too deep feelings. I have walked on the bustling streets, and I can still be perceived, but everyone on the street is just strangers; nothing more, I already feel that the most lively places are actually my loneliest place. Anything the character in the movie did was enough to make people stop, but no one knew him, so the feeling of loneliness and resonance emerged spontaneously. I think of Leslie Cheung’s old song called "The Invisible Man". What he sang is actually an existence for others and the sadness caused by the invisibility of the woman he loves deeply, which can also prove to be perceived. Happiness. And this is only for some other individual. This movie uses an extreme technique to push this terrible loneliness to the extreme. It is not the insensitivity of the individual but the unrecognition of the entire group. After Fa's perception realized this, too heavy loneliness would turn into a kind of despair that made people tremble like fear.
