The meaning of the story itself is far greater than the movie

Although it is a sci-fi movie, I feel more like a religious movie. It seems that the bible has determined the model of the savior. Due to the hypocrisy of human beings or the slaughter will be destroyed, there will be a savior who will preach the gospel and some people will be saved. In the movie, it is said that human beings will be changed because they are about to die. Maybe death has an ultimate meaning for human beings. Meaning What is the value of everything that happens in life? If life without value seems to have no purpose, to live is a kind of inertia. So religious immortality seems like a good concept. Even materialistic people seem to be able to borrow the concept of immortality. In the movie, it is said that the universe will not waste any kind of resource, and your existence after death is just a different form. So the presence doesn't seem to disappear. Think of the lyrics from a song by libera, do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep, I am in a thousand winds that blow, across northreand's bright and shining snow. May all be well, To be a good person, it will be better if you live forever. If you really want to go to hell, then obey God's arrangement, Amen.
