The director may want to use this as a theme to make a thought-provoking film. Where did those disappeared people go? Did we really exist?
And the name of this film, maybe it has something to do with religion. The number 7 hints at this.
This film, Americans have more experience after watching it.
Missing Colony Becomes America's Greatest Mystery So Far On August 17, 1590, John White set off from England and finally arrived at Roanoke Island after a long sea journey. Trees flourish. In the bright sun, parakeets were flying between the branches. White will soon be reunited with his daughter Eleanor, son-in-law Ananias Dyer and granddaughter Virginia Dyer, the first child of a British couple born in America. There were over a hundred immigrants in their colony, and White was their governor. White, who was also an artist, spent much of his time in the colony drawing detailed maps and sketches of native American flora, fauna and people. White's colony was not the first European attempt to settle on Roanoke Island, North Carolina. The first all-male expedition was to find a suitable place to live, leave 15 people behind, and send ships back to pick up a new wave of colonists, including women and children. The adventurers who returned from the New World tried their best to paint the New World as a picture of endless adventure and wealth, which played a good publicity role. Arthur Barlow, one of the captains of the original expedition, described North Carolina as a beautiful garden full of fragrant flowers. This land is "the richest, sweet, healthy, and fertile place in the whole world." The Native Americans are "gentle, loving, loyal, free from hypocrisy or treacherous." . It would be the first American colony to house women and children. The British believed that Roanoke Island could become a new England only if complete families were settled. In fact, the natives of Roanoke Island did start to be kind to these European immigrants. But just after the British ship left, Ralph Lane, the commander of the first colony, treated the natives rudely, causing a dramatic shift in their attitudes toward these Europeans. Just as Barlow used his tale of the kindness of the natives in the American Garden of Eden to lure new adventurers to North Carolina, the Indians began to attack the outsiders. Fifteen members of the original colony were lost and never found. Meanwhile, a second group of colonists, including White and his family, are heading for a new land and a bright new future, unaware of what's going on there. Their plan was to pick up the 15 people left behind in the first colony and then sail on to the Chesapeake Bay, where they would establish a new town. But when they arrived at the original colony, they saw only abandoned and charred houses. Frustrated, they did not return to the boat, pitched tents where the former colonists had settled, and stopped walking along the beach. It took them a month to clear land, divert water, and rebuild houses. A month later, when each family was in the comfort of their new home, they sent ships back to England to procure supplies. When John White kissed his daughter and boarded the ship, he had no idea that this would be their goodbye. The entire voyage would have taken only 3 months, but war broke out between England and Spain, and all available ships were requisitioned to fight. It took more than three years before he was allowed to return to his family and friends in the Americas. White did not look forward to a happy family reunion. He stepped on the gravel road, and his voice sounded like a horn. He stopped - no response. He walked slowly into the previous settlement, only to see an abandoned fortress, several metal objects, and a pillar inscribed with the three letters "CRO". After a while, he found another message inscribed on another tree: "Croatoan". It was no use looking, but White was sure he knew what the message meant—the colonists must have gone to Croatoan Island to live with friendly Native Americans. He implored the captain of the expedition to sail to Keroutoan to find his family. But before they had time to map out the sailing route, a hurricane tore off one ship's anchor, and other anchors were thrown up and down, and the captains were afraid of being smashed by the anchor. They refused to stay one more minute off the coast of the Carolinas and immediately returned to port to refurbish their ships and spend the winter. That gust of wind has kept the fate of the Roanoke Islanders a mystery. White did not look forward to a happy family reunion. He stepped on the gravel road, and his voice sounded like a horn.

In the film [Ambush from All Sides] also mentioned this bridge, it seems that this is a crack in American memory.
