Don't worry about gains and losses, and act and cherish

First of all, I want to say that the translation of the name of this movie is really literary and grounded. The relationship between people and ghosts is over. When I first heard the name, what came to my mind was the story of love and hatred between the fox demon Nie Xiaoqian and the scholar Ning Caichen, so I thought this movie would tell a story of yin and yang like a Chinese Ghost Story The tragic love story of two separated, in fact, is not the case.

At the beginning of the film, the atmosphere was depressing and dull, and the sudden appearance of the huge word GHOST was almost startling, making the audience think that this was the suspense left by the director on purpose. Dim and dilapidated house, dim lights, low background music, there are only three people on the movie screen, viewers who haven't read the spoiler can easily mistake the ghost in this story to take place in this seemingly scary house, maybe It's a haunted house or something. In fact, such a beginning is just a suspense, and has nothing to do with the plot that the director will explain next. It may have the effect of laying the groundwork, but I think it is a bit grandstanding.

The plot goes like this: The male protagonist Sam and his fiancée Merry move into a beautiful apartment that was exchanged with the help of a friend Carl. Sam, a young bank clerk, and his fiancée Merry are deeply in love. One day, when they came back from watching Shakespeare's play, they were robbed by gangsters. In order to protect the heroine, Sam was unfortunately shot and killed in the fight with the gangsters. At this time, Sam turned into a ghost. He could see everything in the mortal world, but he couldn't touch it. No one in the mortal world, including Mei Li, could see him. He unknowingly learns that he was actually murdered by his best friend Carl, and he is grief-stricken and hated at the same time as he is very worried about Merry's safety. In order to protect Mei Li, Sam seeks help from a psychic witch Ota, and finally punishes the two people who killed him, and he also ascends to heaven after fulfilling his wish.

Throughout the film, the theme is clear, the intention is clear, and it is full of romanticism - the opposition between good and evil and the victory of justice over evil. Such a positive intention is very rare in today's film and television industry. Good people will inevitably ascend to heaven, while evildoers will definitely fall into hell.

What I have to mention here is the relationship between the male and female protagonists. Before his death, Sam was a person who was worried about gains and losses, and it was obvious that happiness was in front of him (a stable job, a fiancee who loves him, and just moved into a beautiful apartment. ), but he always felt that the happiness in front of him would be fleeting, and all the good things that appeared in front of him were short-lived, so he was worried and annoyed, and often fell into contemplation at night, leaving Mei Li puzzled. Mei Li said "I love you" to him every day, but Sam always said "Ditto" (me too), and when Mei Li proposed marriage, he was even more overwhelmed. After he died, he finally understood how stupid he was at that time, but it was too late. Mei Li couldn't hear him and couldn't see him. He said "I love you" again and again, maybe only the cat heard it. . The first touch between the two after their death was when Sam got on the body of a psychic witch. At this time, the theme song "Unrestrained Melody" sounded, and the whole film reached a climax; and the second touch was also the last touch. Touch is Sam's last kiss to Mei Li when he ascends to heaven. He said: "I love you. I've always loved you." Mei Li said: "Ditto." You

know, in love, it is There is no distinction between high and low, and it cannot be that only one party gives and the other is indifferent. As a lover, even as a husband and wife, if you have love, you have to say it. When the other party says I love you, don't always say me too, it's harmless to say more; since you love it, please love it deeply. Hall, that is of course the perfect ending, do it and cherish it.
