A friend who rated 1 star. . . I don’t know about Buddhism, one of China’s fundamental cultures.

You can dislike it,
but you have no right to insult the IQ of others while insulting your own IQ.

This ghost movie is not scary, and this magical fantasy is not gorgeous. For people who are used to watching Hollywood horror movies, vampire movies, and magical movies, they are completely confused and confused.

If you don't understand, be humble, don't just say that others are stupid.

First of all, the spread of Thai Buddhism is Southern Buddhism, and Buddhism is their state religion. From the end of the film, you can see that young man, in fact, he is not a full-time monk, but a short-term monk. There is a tradition of short-term monks among young people in the southern region.

Why are ghosts not scary in the film?

Buddhism believes that no matter the gods, ghosts, animals are just a form of life. It is completely different from the traditional Western gods as omnipotent and ghosts as evil. So Bomi’s wife exists as a ghost, and his son exists as an animal, and both can communicate with people.

Is Bomi's illness retribution?
Buddhism's theory of karma dependent origination is not a simple karma.
Bomi said that his illness may be because he killed the Communist Party too much.
The film suggests that Bomi was born by the princess and the catfish in her previous life, and the princess and the catfish intercourse stemmed from her sigh of old age. This melancholy is a kind of karma. Life after life, endless.

Where to go after death?
His wife said there was nothing in heaven.
There are 18 layers of heaven in the Buddhist scriptures, all kinds of gods and ghosts, and all kinds of extravagance. But in the final analysis. . . Everything is empty. The world is empty, and heaven is also empty.

Finally, let's take a peek at the monk bathing together: In the
film, we can see that the monk's robe is a square cloth. One gown on top and bottom inside. This is basically the monk's clothing of primitive Buddhism. To put it bluntly, it means just wrapping a piece of cloth. The lifestyle of primitive Buddhism is to minimize material requirements. Wearing only a piece of cloth, eating is begging for food. I only want shelter from the wind and rain. It is to meet the most basic needs of people, but not to torture oneself deliberately (that is, asceticism, India has many ascetic traditions, such as fasting, drying in the sun, etc.).

Finally remembered a story:
A foreigner was watching a painting exhibition, mostly Western masters, when he suddenly saw a Chinese ink painting he liked it very much. Ask him why? He said that all the paintings are prominent, only this one is recessed.

I think Cannes gave him the highest prize, too.

Just like when we were young, going to the cinema to watch "Superman" was the happiest thing.

Just like Cannes won't give the top prize to "Smallville". :>

    I wanted to scold my mother for 5 minutes and 10 minutes to scold my mother; 13 minutes I wanted to pull, pull, pull, it seems that the next fixed scene was 3 minutes long and I found that all the ghosts and snakes came out; this is really not a normal person's movie, but it went straight to the Palme d'Or. go to movie

    Ten stars. Do not doubt for a moment the image of Apichatpong, just breathe into it. It seems to be his best film now. Every time I raise my eyes, it is full of divinity. It is not a god in ideology, but a god shared by every life and buried in our depths. "The Tree of Life" has long been That's how it should be shot. At first glance, the curious experience completely faded away, revealing an affectionate, frank and extremely fragile core. This is a first-aid movie that starts from the sorrows of the world, but from the beginning of the first aid, it proves to us that our worries are superficial and superfluous. The world and all beings are certainly not enough, Apichatpong also embraces history, the universe, and every self on the timeline, which may indeed be the end of the film: the ultimate coexistence.
