The old truck man who appeared several times in the play should be a former resident, and he was reluctant to leave, so he often wandered there, and when he saw someone coming to repair the road, he thanked him with wine. That old lady was the soul of his dead wife. The old man couldn't see her, and when Alvin talked to her in the ruins of the house, the old lady said "it takes time to accept" "like picking up my ashes". Before the ending, Alvin also realized that the old lady was a soul, and the old man could not see it, so he asked the old man, "If there is a woman in the car, would you be nice to her?" The children playing in the ruins at the end are also dead souls. Including the old lady, there are exactly four people, that is, four people died in the fire mentioned at the beginning of the film.
Alvin and Lance have opposite life attitudes. Alvin is conservative and hopes to make his loved ones happy through hard work, even if he suffers, but in the end he is abandoned. So he chose to compromise and decided to let Lance take him to find fun.
And Lance's life is rotten, without responsibility, without seeking progress. Influenced by Alvin along the way, he never understood to learn to reflect. When he knew that he had grown a 47-year-old woman's belly, he finally wanted to raise the child.
The message of the film is to cherish life, life and people, to choose a pleasant way of life, but to be responsible.
