The film cites two examples of psychic mediums, namely the Swedish female artist Hilma af Klint, known as the pioneer of abstraction, and Victor Hugo's psychic experience in exile in Jersey. In fact, I always thought it was set for the plot of the movie, but I never thought that this is the case in real life. Maybe I've believed in science for so long that I don't know anything about psychics?

For information about Swedish female artist Hilma af Klint, you can refer to this headline article: https://www.toutiao.com/i6611766332029403656/

For information on Victor Hugo's exile in Jersey during this time, I've picked up a synopsis of the book Victor Hugo's Conversations with the Spirit World: A Literary Genius's Hidden Life on Amazon. Address: https://www.amazon.com/Victor-Hugos-Conversations-Spirit-World/dp/1594771820

As for the video mentioned in the movie that can be found by searching for Hugo + Jersey + turning tables on YouTube, due to some force majeure, I will not search it here. It would be better if someone can help guide the way.

During Victor Hugo's exile on the Isle of Jersey, where he and his family and friends escaped the reign of Napoléon III, he conducted “table-tapping” séances, transcribing hundreds of channeled conversations with entities from the beyond. Among his discarnate visitors were Shakespeare , Plato, Hannibal, Rousseau, Galileo, Sir Walter Scott, and Jesus. According to the transcripts, Jesus, during his three visits, condemns Druidism, faults Christianity, and suggests a new religion with Hugo as its prophet.

According to the introduction of the book, Shakespeare, Plato Plato, Hannibal Bacca (famous Carthaginian general) Hannibal, Rousseau, Galileo Galileo, Sir Walter Scott, and Jesus Jesus etc.
Here he refers to Lewis

The movie here says that people will linger in familiar places after death, say goodbye or something, here I suddenly think of the time when my grandmother died, when the whole family was able to get together for the funeral, when watching TV at night suddenly there was a Something like a moth landed on my dad's arm, so my mom immediately said, "Your grandma came back to see this old house. After all, she lived here for a long time." I didn’t ask much at that time, I just wondered how my mother knew that it was grandma’s soul who came back to say goodbye, and my dad agreed with a hum. Now it seems that what the movie said really makes sense. After all, grandma’s death was The only time I can remember the passing of someone who was relatively close to me. But it seems that the soul is really just wandering around, and generally does not do extreme things. This kind of thing is really uncertain.

    Paleness is secondary, and such a playful scene and shot design is not charming.

Personal Shopper quotes

  • Maureen Cartwright: [talking about her deceased brother] So we made this oath... Whoever died first would send the other a sign.

    Ingo: A sign? From- from the afterlife?

    Maureen Cartwright: You could call it that; you could call it a million things.

    Ingo: But... how do you know if it's a sign?

    Maureen Cartwright: I'm a medium. He was- he was a medium. I'll just know it.

    Ingo: Have you... communicated with spirits before?

    Maureen Cartwright: Um. Lewis thought they were... spirits. I'm- I'm less sure. But yes. Uh, somewhat.

    [gets off the couch to smoke]

    Maureen Cartwright: I mean there are invisible... presences... around us. Always. I mean whether or not they're the souls of the dead, I don't know, but... You know when you're a medium you just are attuned to some sort of... vibe.

    Ingo: What do you mean by- by vibe?

    Maureen Cartwright: It's an intuition thing; it's a feeling. You... You see this door... That's only like slightly, ajar.

    Ingo: Well... How's within that, that the soul... continues to exist... after death?

    Maureen Cartwright: I don't even know if I believe in that. But... Lewis did. And I- I have to give his... spirit -whatever you wanna call it- a chance to prove him right.
