After life, there is more...

The story starts from an ordinary family, calm and warm. But it gave people a hunch that something was going to happen, and something unexpected happened.

The successive departure of the son and the husband has made the wife cut off from the strength of life. But committing suicide in a Christian country means going to hell. After experiencing the struggle, the wife still chose to leave the world.

After his death, the husband actually went to heaven, where he enjoyed unparalleled joy under the guidance of his angels. And when he knew his wife's fate to hell, he decided to stay with her no matter what.

So, he broke into hell alone, and under the leadership of the messenger of hell, he brought his wife back to his side after a series of desperate situations.

Clue:

Children are the happy life of the family
- children represent hope and the future, and parents who lose children will lose happiness.

After the husband dies comes the wife's painting
- the man lives in love after marriage. The wife loves to paint, so a beautiful painting is the husband's paradise.

A tree about love
—Women long for family roots to sprout after marriage. The wife painted a tree, and purple symbolizes dreams. So when the dead tree is transferred away, the dream will be gone.

Go to hell to see the purgatory of greed and desire
- no matter what it was in life, it will still be full of desire after becoming a zombie or a water ghost. Pulling people into the water, taking a downwind boat or something...

The causal logic of reality and ideal
- the husband lives in the wife's world, and the value of the wife needs to be realized by the husband.

Frequent traffic accidents
- accidents that are the closest to ordinary people, the film easily takes the audience to a blank world, waiting for the next 1.5 hours to fill.

This film seems to tell about a family tragedy, but it is reunited after death, making the living admire the greatness of love. But why does this film still resonate with people who know that it is impossible for living people to experience such an experience?

The reason is that we all long for love that transcends life and death.

After life, there is more... ? An infinite imagination...

    It seems that I saw it in the first year of junior high school, it's too old... I still remember that the US box office was the sixth of the week and then dropped (the people who watch satellite TV movies every day are so boring). I can still vaguely remember some plots and scenes. The male protagonist said to his son, you don't understand this is the way I love your mother. Go to hell for you, go to hell with you, this is the proof that I love you.

    As long as you don’t leave, hell will become heaven~
