A ghost story with no corners but a core of romance and tragedy

The first half is really a horror movie that I don't like and think it's cliché, but after seeing it, it's the part that begins to reveal the mystery: it's very fluent, not deliberate, but beautiful and dramatic, tragic and understandable of.

It's easy to think of two other movies:

Mulholland Drive (2001)
8.4
2001 / French American / Drama Mystery Thriller / David Lynch / Naomi Watts Laura Harling

Life and Death (2005)
7.5
2005 / United States / Drama Mystery Thriller / Mark Foster / Ewan McGregor, Ryan Gosling

But what's different is that ghost stories are not illogical at the beginning to make people speculate hard or lose patience, but have a structure that follows people's habitual thinking. In the last two inversions, one stands in the subconscious to reveal the core secret, and the other becomes fragments of different sizes, which are inserted in reality to correspond to other fragmented secrets in the subconscious that cannot be controlled by people, which is very layered. After I understand it in this way, and then look at the first half of the content, I will feel that the cliché I understand is that the film is based on the pavement of gentleness and patience in line with the public's taste. Although it does not have a strong personality, I still suddenly become tolerant.
