Key plot 1: When the hostess was playing the piano downstairs, she heard from the monitor that someone was talking in the nursery. Because the last sentence was so loud, the baby woke up, the baby started crying, and the hostess went upstairs Checked, but saw nothing.
Analysis: At first glance at this plot, you might think that the soul body was attracted by a comatose little boy (theoretically feasible, because the little boy has been transferred from the hospital to home at this time), but in this case, the attracted soul should Enter the little boy’s room instead of appearing in the baby’s room, because they want to occupy the little boy’s body, not the baby’s body. Pay attention to the words heard in the monitor, "I must come out, I want him, I want him now!", it is obvious that a certain soul wants to possess someone and be reborn.

Conclusion 1: The soul that appears in plot 1 is actually attracted by the baby's body, because the male owner’s family inherits the ability of the soul to be out of the body, so every child has this possibility (not just a coma Of the little boys have this ability), including the baby who has just been born. When she sleeps, the phenomenon of the soul out of the body happens unknowingly, attracting the soul in the spiritual world, and because the voice of the soul body is too loud He woke the baby up, and the soul itself disappeared immediately, so the hostess found nothing when he went upstairs.

Key plot 2: When the male host enters the spirit world to save his child, he finds a little boy in the dark and shows him a way.
Analysis: This plot can be said to be the biggest turning point in the film. If you look closely, you will find that the little boy is the male owner himself (as he was when he was a child)! ! This raises a problem. The male host has two souls in the spiritual world, one is the current self and the other is the self when he was a child, but this is impossible. Because a person can only have one soul! From this we can get an important inference.

Corollary 1: During the journey in the spiritual world of the male host when he was a child, the true soul was lost in the spiritual world and could not return, and the body returned to the body was another soul body, which means that he is actually another person now. Rather than the original self, this is a good explanation of why the male host does not remember things before the age of 8.

Key plot 3: In the spirit world, the male host saw the old woman who appeared in the photo when he was a child.
Analysis: Observing the appearance of this old woman, you will find that there is one place that is obviously different from other souls, that is, there is an extra candle in her hand! ! And candles often symbolize light and new life! From this, we can draw another corollary:

Corollary 2: In the spiritual world, all souls who are reborn will hold a candle in their hands.

At this point in the analysis, the truth has slowly emerged. According to Corollary 1 and Corollary 2, we can summarize the whole story.

The truth of the story: When the male host was 8 years old, under the guidance of ELISE, he went on a spiritual journey. In that incident, his soul was lost in the spiritual world, unable to return, and returned to the physical body. It is the soul of the old woman in the photo. Although the body has not changed, the soul has changed. The reborn soul is parasitic in the body of the male host in the form of a new ecology, and the newly born soul itself does not know what happened, but feels that he suddenly lost his memory after waking up, and can't remember what happened before. Anything (because the memory before the age of 8 belongs to the true self lost in the spiritual world), because the new soul lacks a memory of soul possession, even if the host takes photos in the future, the old woman’s soul will not be revealed The image of possession.

ELISE discovered that since the incident, the male host had forgotten what happened before, so he told his mother to hide all the photos taken by the male host before, so as not to let him remember it after seeing it. Now, the male host’s child is also lost in the spiritual world, so he enters the spiritual world again with the help of ELISE, the purpose is to save his child (although the male host’s soul has long been changed, but inherited from the father The soul that came down still has the ability to emerge from the body), and during this spiritual journey, the male host not only found his childhood soul wandering in the spiritual world, but also saw the old woman's soul body before rebirth. At the end of the film, when he returned to the body, he suddenly understood the truth of the matter (finally knows who the soul in himself is now), and said to ELISE, "I hope I can forget it again, when I no longer need it. Time" (it seems that the male host also hopes to forget the truth of the matter as soon as possible and live a normal life), but this sentence caught the attention of ELISE, and immediately took a photo of the male host with the camera. Sure enough, due to parasites After the soul body already knew the truth of the matter, the old woman's soul appeared in the photo. And this action of ELISE obviously angered the male host, because at this time a photo was equivalent to revealing the truth about soul possession. The male host was very angry and said to ELISE, "Why are you doing this? You know How do I feel, why?", strangled ELISE in a fit of anger.
