The seemingly shocking ending "shocked" most of the audience who believed in ghosts at the beginning. They forgot every supernatural detail for more than an hour, saying that those were just Simon's pranks and Laura's hallucinations. Commenting is as irresponsible as saying that this is all about the director's imagination.
I said that the presence of ghosts in the film does not mean that there are ghosts in reality. Movies and reality are separate, so discussion and analysis must be separated. In other words, the director and screenwriter have ghosts in the film settings.
There are too many details to support the ghost. For example, who told Simon that he was dying and that he was not Laura's own? Simon knew that there was a report to unlock the drawer, and did he understand the report? Who designed such a complex and logical treasure hunt? Simon has such a high IQ? Among the clues of the treasure hunt is a doll representing Laura herself. Even Laura herself has forgotten. Who else knows? Who put the shells at the door? After Simon entered the basement, who removed the doorknob and sealed it with paper? How is the window above the place where the doll is placed? If the kid with the headgear is Simon, why would he attack his mother cruelly? Can you hide in the basement so soon after the attack? No one has seen this headgear yet? There are so many debris in the door of the basement that he doesn't make any noise when he enters? Everyone pay attention to his eyes, that is Thomas' eyes. Are the live recordings heard by the psychics fake? There are too many doubts. To use Bai Su's words in "Wesley Golden Story", "Don't explain this point first-don't object-don't explain this point. There is only one doubtful point. If you don't make such an assumption, there will be hundreds A doubtful point." As long as it is confirmed that there is a ghost, all the above doubts can be easily solved. If the director wants to make a ghostless film but makes so many loopholes, it really fails.
The truth: After Laura left the orphanage 30 years ago, the administrator avenged his son Thomas on the five orphans. After killing him, he hid the body in the orphanage and then left. Thirty years later, Laura adopted Simon, an AIDS orphan, and returned to this orphanage house. She wanted to adopt a few more orphans to form a big family. After moving in, Simon began to see the souls of the five dead orphans. According to psychics, people who were dying could see ghosts, and Simon had a terminal illness. The Lauras regard Simon's situation as AIDS causing schizophrenia. One day Laura took Simon to play in the cave under the lighthouse. Simon found the soul of Thomas who had drowned here 30 years ago and became a friend. He invited Thomas to play at his house, using shells as a guide. After a few days, the former administrator has become an elderly person. She is still working as a social worker. She stumbled upon an orphan named Simon who was going to move to her former orphanage. This would expose her secrets, so she got the old file. Pretending to be a relevant social worker to apply for the job, Laura refused for various reasons, and finally had to exhume the body late at night. After being found by the alert Laura, she hurried away. The next day Laura found a lot of shells in front of the house. Simon scattered those on the road. After the door was opened, a supernatural event occurred in the house, which showed that Thomas had entered the house. Simon began to play a treasure hunt game with 6 ghosts, and the treasure hunt function realized a wish. He and Laura found the gold coin together, and Simon made a wish for Laura to stay here and take care of him and the 6 ghosts. He also discovered Thomas’ previous secret basement and learned that he was terminally ill and was adopted. A few days later, Laura opened a banquet, and Simon wanted to take Laura into the basement but was refused. Then I went in to play and wanted to change Thomas’ clothes and show it to Laura. Unfortunately, Laura locked the door before I came out and couldn't get out. Note that Simon went in long ago, and then Thomas arranged the game to lead Laura over, but Laura didn't realize it was a treasure hunt, so she couldn't find it. Laura saw the old administrator on the road, causing the administrator to be hit and killed by a car, but from this she got clues and knew the truth 30 years ago. The psychic was asked to be psychic. The psychic said that only by dying can we see ghosts, implying that Laura was also dying, and her husband did not believe it, so Laura decided to make the last effort. Find the bodies of 5 ghosts through the treasure hunt game, lead 5 ghosts through the 123 wooden man game, finally found the basement and Simon, and found out that it was her own negligence that led to Simon's death. She was guilty of taking the medicine and committed suicide, and wished they would return Simon to her. . Synthesizing Simon and Laura's wishes, Laura and Simon wandered in the orphanage with 6 ghosts. The husband found the necklace left by Laura, and the final footage suggested that the husband also saw a ghost and was dying.
This movie teaches parents to care about and pay attention to their children, his heart, and his secrets. Don’t ignore him for other so-called important things. Other important things are actually not that important. There is only one child. Also know his friends, at least know where to look if they are missing.
