The Buddha said that "all living beings are suffering" and "the nature of dependent origination is empty". In the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a Hu Die, a vivid butterfly, and said that he was suitable for his ambitions, but he did not know Zhou.
This is a movie about "the afterlife" and "reincarnation". The "present world" where the male protagonist is located has a glimpse of the "afterlife" through scientific means. The so-called afterlife is an opportunity to make up for the "repentance" . Just when the male protagonist thought the mystery was revealed and he could live with the female protagonist, the female protagonist was shot and killed by passers-by on the grounds of "just sending her to the afterlife". The male protagonist failed to prevent the death of the female protagonist in time, but thought that he had a chance to stop it, so a new "repentance" was born, and a new "afterlife" was bound to follow. This is an endless and unsolved cycle.
It is said that everyone comes to the world with "meaning" and "mission"... No matter what, there must be a reason, this film will give you an explanation, whether you like it or not, whether you agree or not... .
I don't know if the screenwriter has been influenced by Buddhism. I feel that the concept of "afterlife" described in this film coincides with the "sea of bitterness" in Buddhism. Under the influence of the male protagonist, the heroine has let go of her obsession with losing her child, but in the "next life", he took over the obsession of the heroine and saved the heroine's child, because it was already in the "afterlife", he even I just think the heroine is a little familiar.
This is a soft sci-fi, but the depth of the setting is already a philosophical level, especially if you have some thoughts on concepts such as Buddhism, destiny, and reincarnation, you will definitely have different feelings and recommend it.
