Maybe we are all living in an illusion we don't know

As a pessimist who believes in fate, this movie has left a great impression on me. No matter what form we exist in this world, there may be an intersection in any parallel space. Those places may not be seen by ordinary people like us. If everything can be explained by science, then why are there so many unsolved mysteries?

Grace and her children have been unaware of the ghost world that they did not know. The narrative of being afraid of light may also be because they are the new ghosts of this castle, and they have not yet adapted to the daytime life. The three uninvited guests witnessed Grace's crazy actions because of her husband's death. When they think the time is right, come and rescue the three ghosts of the new castle.

In their world that is not the same as ours, the new ghosts will never know that they are dead. Just like the "Sixth Sense", they all need new ghosts to discover by themselves. The psychic Victor (the child currently living in the castle) is able to communicate with Annie. Using this as a clue, various questions unfolded in turn. Grace found the noise in the room; the piano that would play automatically; the closed piano lid would reopen; the curtains all disappeared: these all caused Grace to waver in God's faith. The husband who loved him came back from afar to rescue the mistress in the mist because of these unusual actions. However, due to the different place of death, the husband did not belong to this castle and had to leave sadly. The three kind old ghosts help Grace, who doesn't believe in ghosts, discover the true nature of herself as servants.

It may be the same in our lives, everything is like Grace, living in the fog of madness and unable to extricate herself. Occasionally strange views may not be fully accepted, and it is very incorrect to look at other people’s guidance in a hostile way. So, my enlightenment is not to accept the help of others with a skeptical attitude. Whether others have a purpose for your help, or sincerely want to help you out of the fog, accept it and be grateful. Maybe the care of that hand requires you to see the essence of yourself, and accept it humbly, and you will make some progress.
