Past and Present

I have always believed in the reincarnation of past and present lives. Maybe this will make me feel better, and I will feel that death is not so terrible. .
Uncle Miller, who was seriously ill in the movie, saw his dead wife Ah Hui and his son who turned into a ghost monkey when he was dying.

Ghosts don't remember places, they remember people. Ah Hui said that she could come back because he was here. Is it?

Thailand is a country that respects ghosts and gods. In the movie, people feel that they are equal to other animals. It's part of nature, that's all. Uncle Miller's son, the princess, Uncle Miller's memories of his past life~~ are all part of natural reincarnation.

Uncle Miller finally allowed himself to return to the place where he was born, in a cave shaped like a womb, and outside the cave, his son was protecting him. . .

ps: I didn't understand the ending~~

    It takes time and experience to acquire Apichatpong. The Buddha said: All kinds of life in this life are caused by cause and effect in previous lives. National mythology, national history, family scars, the director connects them with chaotic time and space, cascading sounds and frozen performances, so the film no longer has explicit sensory fear, identity confusion or anxiety of the times, but escapes people's perception of it. The inherent impression of the third world movie, unified into a kind of synaesthesia is branded as "reincarnation" secret language. The tranquility and serenity of the lens is like the pair of red eyes flashing in the dark night.

    Maybe now I like plainness, plainness in the face of ghosts, plainness in the face of death. "Don't worry, I will take care of you after I die" "How did you come back?" "I will find a way"
