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~~

    Read it between half-dreams and half-awakes. Palme d'Or, wash and sleep

    In the philosophical thinking of Eastern mysticism, too many metaphors can make people confused. The description of the details is very delicate and true, the thinking of life and death is also quite deep, and the soundtrack is perfectly complemented by natural sounds. A film in the eyes of critics, and a film in the eyes of popcorn viewers, I'm somewhere in between.
