I don’t go to hell, who goes to hell

This story is very well written. Kevin's last jump changed everyone, and he explained what the power of faith is. Dare to love others, dare to sacrifice for love. Shana also felt the warmth of being loved at the last moment. Although the ending was not good, she gained the courage to face it alone. And the devout Christian Joe failed to wait for his "God" in the end. Because he is a real coward. Detective Hollis therefore began to abandon religious formalism, like Kevin, and cherish the love around him again. The relationship between the four people slowly went from shallow to deep in a reverse order, which brought a very good suspenseful effect. In addition, the discussion of religious belief runs through the beginning and the end, which brings the depth to a higher level. Belief has nothing to do with religion. Although Kevin usually despises the formalism of all religions, he can quickly abandon his persistence to comfort others when people need to care. Just as he stood opposite the cross at last, he did the same thing as Jesus. "I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" Liv Tyler took the charm of this character to the extreme. The characteristics of fragility, sensitivity and desire to be loved have been brought into play on every inch of skin and every look in his eyes. It seems to be a sad ending, but in fact, like the film’s values, Kevin makes the people around him better.

    Gavin Nichols: Jesus Christ. Restrings your guitar one day, stops you from playing it the next.

    Shana Harris: You're so flippant, aren't you? You have no idea what it's like to lose everything and to try and put it all back together again.
