The first time I thought about life (after the deer died): I have my own thoughts, and what I can communicate is life. Life will die, and oneself will die. And if there is a thought, there is a soul. He was told: the soul is immortal, and the kind soul is immortal. So he likes to be a Superman and do good things like Superman.

The second time was to save his life: due to his self-defense instinct, he almost killed the boy. So he ran away sadly. After saving two boys in the town, he said he was not a murderer. He proved himself to the boy.

The third time was a runaway: thinking that the boy was killed, so runaway. The living boy ran under his gun and asked him to make a decision, that is, "You decide what kind of person you are." Let him control the runaway and regain his consciousness.

The fourth time is to sacrifice himself to save others: what he wants to be a superman, for which he is willing to give his life to implement it. In his opinion, he will die after the missile hits him. But he didn't want to see other lives die like this. So when the missiles on the sky flew, he chose to sacrifice himself and save others.

PS: As for the return of the reorganization, this utopian ending personally feels too redundant. Too idealistic. This is equivalent to the whole movie planting a full seed in people's hearts, but the final ending is watered with sweet honey. Imagination is beautiful, but this will only fester the rhizomes.
