I don't know if it's because I've watched a lot of movies, or for some other reason, but I often have a strong hunch about tragedies in movies. Shortly after the film started, I had an ominous premonition and secretly prayed that misfortune would not befall the lovely little girl, but the film still brutally pushed her to a dead end. I once again hope that the death of my daughter will give Annie and Glenn a chance to calm down, reflect, reset, and regain the balance of their lives, so that the tragedy will stop there, but the story will continue relentlessly until the family of three is sent to the Heaven.
Although the ending is unsatisfactory, it seems that it is really unavoidable after scrutiny. Glenn does try very hard to get his life back on track, but he doesn't know that life doesn't always pay off. What he does his best to grab is something that's long gone. His paranoid character, the kind of paranoia with religious and belief colors, made him unable to face reality, and at the same time, when he finally had to face reality, he completely lost his psychological balance and could never turn back.
On Annie's side, she was beautiful and sexy, but not ready to be a wife, not ready to be a mother, not ready to take on her own life. She desperately needs the support of others so that her immature self can live a life that looks like an adult. She doesn't know what role and responsibilities she should play in the game of life, so she can't face the people in her life. Break up with Glenn, please don't come back; my daughter is dead when she dies, please don't let myself think of her again. . . Until she said "I'm ready" before she was about to be killed by Glenn, I also highly doubted whether she was really ready because she understood something, or if she was just resigned to her fate again at a loss.
Annie and Glenn's extremely egoistic (perhaps not to mention selfish) characters make them unable to perceive the needs of others, thus distorting the gap between consciousness and reality, leading to the final tragedy. This is inevitable, this is tragic.
Perhaps we should, and must, accept the tragedies in our lives; but what we absolutely must avoid is a tragic life.
