The beginning was great, the end was a bit rough, and there was nothing to do but there was no way

Every time I watch this sci-fi movie, I will have a lot of feelings, but I feel very tasteless. After all, this movie does not give a surprising answer to the topic of afterlife. In fact, it is very difficult to arouse the audience's feelings. It requires a long foreshadowing in the early stage. Finally, when the story reaches the climax, all the senses are on the verge of triggering. Speaking of this, I have to complain about domestic movies. Domestic movies often start magnificently, the middle part is inexplicable, and the ending can't be laughed or laughed. Of course, the social environment is caused by it, and I don't want to delve into it. Back to the topic, this article also gave me the same feeling.
At the beginning, I remembered that the visit introduced the feeling of "discovery", and the suicide of millions of people later. During the period, all kinds of things inevitably made the audience wonder, in this film, what the afterlife is like. Students who often watch movies should also know that this film is actually marked with the word sci-fi, and the ending must be magical. Tell everyone that your research is wrong. The ending of the male protagonist's infinite reincarnation changes his life, which can be regarded as a beautiful idea of ​​reincarnation. In fact, films of this type are rarely made well, and no matter what the ending of such a story is, the audience will not be satisfied. It’s like telling a random story. There was a mountain in the past, and there was a temple on the mountain. There were a lot of blah blah blah, and many pits were dug. Super power, all speculation in the universe is just speculation. Human imagination can never be as magical as nature, and every detail that is natural seems to be unrelated, but is actually interlinked. So, like the ending of this film, I am obsessed with myself, what kind of ending is the best, I don't know.
Leaving aside the topic of reincarnation, just talking about movies, the foreigners' excellent film performance techniques are still very mature, and various foreshadowing in the early stage, although it looks a bit boring, but at least it doesn't feel like dancing. On the other hand, in domestic production, there are often too many points to express, and the results are useless. I don't know why domestic directors and screenwriters just can't grasp this point. Maybe the theme of the film is too small, and it can't show the large production cost and can't attract investment. And because the big cost and the big production are enough to attract the audience; the small cost movie has a small cost, so more energy is spent on the scriptwriting of the plot.
Overall, this film is decent. It's just that the topic of afterlife is easy to talk about at the beginning, but not easy to end at the end. The implication is still good. People don’t have any regrets whether they are in the next life or this life. If they think of it, as long as it does not harm others, do it!
