Form is emptiness, emptiness is form

From the beginning, I thought that the ghosts of the five children did exist and had an impact on their family, such as the disappearance of Raymond. But it turned out to be telling me that maybe all of this was just an illusion, and that nothing existed at all.
Raymond may have sensed some grievances on a spiritual level, but because his mother accidentally beat him, he ran to the basement, waiting for his mother to come to her, but was locked by his mother by accident. Inside, broken legs and starved to death. When my mother found out about all this, she committed suicide in remorse.
As for the old woman and her disabled son, as well as the tragic situation that year, it can be said that there is no direct connection with reality. The point of intersection is simply that they are all in the same space.

So, we see the story beautifully as Peter Pan's magic box. The most tender explanation is that when Wendy grew up, she returned to her friends.
In the end, some people say that the husband found out that the wife was with her son and her former partners. I thought so too, but when the husband picked up the necklace, the door seemed to be pushed open again. I understood it as the wife wanted to bring her husband back to their world.

It should be said that it is a very warm and touching film. It can be understood as a supernatural event, or it can be said to be a good wish in the heart. But I always feel that something is missing, I can't tell the truth, and I always don't get that feeling. It can't be a ghost movie either.
