I saw that many people in the comments mentioned the ending of this reversal:
The first point of view: feel too obtrusive
The second point of view: I feel superfluous
The third point of view: I think it would be better to change to the ending of his YY
But is it really obtrusive? Is it really unnecessary? Is it really the kind of hard spin without bedding? Is it really better to change to another ending? Let me sort it out:
1.
The tones of the forest scene in black, white and gray, on the one hand, is the remote environment here, on the other hand, it corresponds exactly to the world after the death of the male protagonist.
2.
The first video connection is also the only video connection dialogue content in the whole film. The first time I watched it, I was a little confused. I was misled by the plot to think that the heroine did not want to live in the virtual afterlife world and did not want to talk to the man again. The main conversation. But when you look back and take a closer look, you actually know that after the reversal, this conversation is completely valid. In other words, this machine is in the real world, and this dialogue also exists in the real world. It was the final farewell that the heroine wanted to let go of the past and bid farewell to the hero.

This Mr. Vincent is very interesting.
After introducing himself on stage for the first time and the colleagues on the side, his eyes were basically looking at the camera during the period, which was normal.
Then he explained his intentions, "We are here to see your wife". After saying this, he looked diagonally downward.
This shot lasts from 1 second to 2 seconds. (At least I think this should not be a director’s problem or editing error, nor should it be my over-interpretation) At the time, my first reaction was that he lied, and then I was misled by the plot, thinking that they might not be from the archive company at all. Or some other possibilities. Actually? Let's watch.
Finally, we reversed and saw this Mr. Vincent, with only two lines: Thank you, Mrs. Almore. My condolences.
Therefore, in fact, he should really be a member of the archives company. He virtualized his image and then came to the post-mortem world of the male protagonist. He should not exist in this virtual world, so afterwards the male When the master consults the archive company, the customer service will say that they don't have this person at all. Then why does he come? He didn't come to see the hostess, he lied. It’s because our heroine has already said goodbye to the hero, remember? It means that their service is about to end, and the world created for the male protagonist is about to close. This is their “hospice care service” to check their service results. The ideal situation is of course that the male protagonist can understand that he is the one who has passed away, and be able to let go, so that a period of time after death can be used for them. Living happily in this beautiful and peaceful little world that he created, even if their work is successfully completed.
But unfortunately, the heroine has never had the courage to frankly tell the hero that it is the one who left. Of course, just because of this will not prevent the end of the service. In the conversation, they revealed that they always feel sorry for the situation where the customer ended the service without knowing what happened to them. That is to say, although this is not the first choice, it often happens.
However, what Vincent didn't expect was that in the virtual world, the male protagonist himself destroyed the female protagonist's files, and then guessed that he took the female protagonist's consciousness to create a robot. This means that the male protagonist not only didn't realize that he was the one who passed away, but he couldn't accept the separation from the female protagonist at all!
As an excellent post-death virtual archive service company, it must not allow customers to "leave" with obsession, so they contacted the female protagonist again, hoping that he could find time to come to the company again to say goodbye to the male protagonist. (Because the video is no longer available at the end of the service)
So there are the last few voice calls, and Vincent's lines thanking the hostess after the reverse! Vincent: KPI is finally completed.

The male protagonist is always unable to actively connect with the deceased female protagonist, and the female protagonist always connects.
At that time, because he was the one contacted.
5.
When the male and female protagonist talked about post-mortem archives services for the first time, the male protagonist showed recognition of this technology, and the female protagonist showed that he did not want to participate, and asked the male protagonist, I will Don't you know you are dead? Expressed such concerns, but finally said okay, okay, agreed to participate.
The second time, the heroine couldn’t sleep and got up in the middle of the night. He told the hero that she didn’t want to be trapped in a box and waited to die. The hero tried to persuade her that it was free. Then I discussed it with the heroine before. The Lord agreed. However, the heroine still expressed strong opposition and asked if he would cancel it. The hero replied that it would cancel it. The hero loves the heroine so much, he shouldn't lie to her, so he might indeed cancel it for her. This also laid the groundwork. How could the heroine be put into a black box after a car accident?

After being kicked out of the bed by the male lead and letting her go out, J3 fell on the ground and seemed to pass out. Immediately after the scene of the car accident, there was a scene of the "retrospect" that flashed back to the memories of life before death.
Cleverly replayed the car accident and flashback after J3 fell to the ground. If you don't look carefully, you will think that it is just the memory of the heroine. It can be seen that the heroine herself occupies a large part of the flashback screen, which also tells us from the side that it is the hero who died. This section is the flashback screen before his death.
In summary, I think this reversal is quite good.
Although the reality and the virtual have been separated into two lines due to the reversal of the relationship, I think the director wants to discuss the two lines around the theme of life.
This line of reality:
Is it really good to be in a black box after death? ——Dataize people's consciousness
This line of the virtual world:
Is it really good for humans to give machine life and intelligence to satisfy human desires? -Turning machines into artificial intelligence
One of my favorites is definitely J2's part. From jealousy to accidents that happen accidentally, to depression, to the final "suicide", this series of descriptions are quite in place and precise. It can be said that J2 has no scenes that are useless.
In the end, she glanced at the dancing male protagonist and J3, sorted out the robot toys and her favorite VR dog game, stroked J1 reluctantly, walked towards the river slowly and firmly, and then freeze. The picture, J2 walking slowly into the lake, with a similar pipe organ and electronic background music, full of shock!
