Love beyond the story

The movie uses flashbacks. Little Louis suffers from accidents from birth until he falls off a cliff on his ninth birthday. The doctor has already ruled him dead, but two hours later he has a heartbeat and then falls into an endless loop. Comatose state. Then, in the tone of Little Louis, he recalled his short but thrilling life. The middle is constantly switching with the progress of real-world events. One of his doctor's dreams made people think that a supernatural event had occurred, and it seemed that Louis had been cursed by a demon. The last 15 minutes of the film still moved me very much. The seaweed monster brought Louis to his cave and asked him to find the words written on the wall, and then told him the bats story. It loved the laughing bat, but Choose to be with the crying bat, thinking that it can keep her from crying, it also has its favorite baby bat in the world, its love for him is more than a full house, more than a full street, more than The sea was full of fish, and then little Louie said to the seaweed monster, I don't want you to die, Dad. Even if he died and turned into an ugly seaweed monster, he still guarded little Louis, encouraged him, and guided him.
At the end of the film, the doctor uses hypnosis to have a dialogue with the vegetative Louis. It restores the fact that her mother wanted to push him to the cliff, but her father protected him but was pushed off the cliff by her mother. In the end, Louis lost his father's protection and jumped off the cliff in order to obey his mother's wishes, but his mother did not stop him from jumping off the cliff because of mental illness. In the end, Louis woke up from a vegetative state. His grandmother has been with him, just like his father, deeply in love with his grandson.
Louie's mother has a mental illness - acting Munchausen syndrome, in the words of the movie: "She loved him, she hate him. She couldn't live with him, couldn't live without him" The tragedy of Louie Originated from his mother, but it seems that his mother cannot be completely blamed.
The story told in the whole film is not complicated. For the countless fans who have read the film, the film has no bright spots, and it is even difficult to classify it. But I was still moved, moved by the warmth beyond the story. In the story, we only hear the father's constant narration of his love and his encouragement to little Louis. In addition to the story, Louis has lived in her mother's twisted maternal love since childhood. Without his father's firm protection and deep love, little Louis may have had a twisted soul, so his father is the sustenance of his soul. At the end of the film, Louis, who is in a coma, keeps talking to his father, who finally gave him the love and courage to wake him up again.
The difficult life of little Louis should have been extremely tragic, but from his youthful and mature tone, it was a bit witty and amusing; the ugly seaweed monster should have been terrifying, but always accompanied Louis with love and tenderness; Louis' mother was beautiful and fragile , but she's not actually "good". Stories and characters don't always develop the way we want. What we see is not what it really looks like. This may be what the movie metaphor is trying to tell us.
