Let me analyze it. There are three objects in the film that are given close-up shots. The first is the medicine that Simon took, the second is the medicine that Lola took before she died, and the other is when the old woman was hit by a car. A whistle hung around the neck.

Maybe there are no ghosts at all. I still remember that when the old woman came to Lola's house to visit, she talked about a new treatment method for Simon's disease. From this point of view, we can judge that the blue medicine may have been suggested by the old woman to Lola to let Simon take this medicine. It may not be used to cure Simon's disease, but to speed up Simon's death and cause hallucinations, so the old woman found Simon to take Thomas, Thomas' cottage, the five children, and Thomas. Simon was told all about where he died, so Simon had the hallucination of meeting Thomas in the island cave, and said at home that he saw the five children. And know the location of Thomas's cottage, which the old woman told him.

When Simon disappeared, in order to scare Lola away, the old woman went downstairs at Lola's house every night and blew the whistle that was hanging around her neck when she died, which explains why Lola heard the strange whistle every night, the old woman wanted to night The ashes were dug up to eliminate the evidence, but it was discovered by Lola, so this was the last resort. This also explains the close-up the old woman gave to the whistle when she died.

The most important thing is the series of treasure hunts that Simon played with Lola before he disappeared, which is also the key to the fact. Simon overheard the conversation between his mother and the old woman, and saw that his mother put his adoption information in the drawer, so Simon created Out of this series of scavenger hunts, trying to tell Lola that he already knew he was adopted and that his mother was lying to him. The next day Simon saw how happy the other children were with their parents at the window, so he presumptuously asked his mother to accompany him to see Thomas's cottage, but his mother slapped him if he didn't agree, and he slapped him. In a fit of rage, he pretended to be Thomas and bit his mother. In order to get his mother's attention, he set up his best treasure hunt and hid in the hut, but was blocked by the careless Lola with an iron rod. . This also explains the frequent strange noises in the room later, Simon tried to open the door, but the rail broke and unfortunately fell down the stairs.

After Simon was lost, Lola wanted to go crazy. She thought it must be the wraiths of those children who took Simon away, so she rearranged the room according to her childhood memory. Seeing those ghosts and taking herself to find her son, she hallucinated and came to the closet. She opened the closet and kept looking, but accidentally discovered the last clue that Simon left her. She put on the door handle and opened Thomas' hut. She saw Simon lying on the bed intact. In fact, there was only a red blanket on the bed. There was no one under the blanket. Simon said, when it comes to "close your eyes and think about what you will be like when you grow up, Thomas and other children are not real, everything is fantasy, just like a dream." This is also superficial. reminded herself, so she closed her eyes with Simon and said to Simon, "When you open your eyes, let them all disappear." This sentence was also said to herself, which also explained Lola's fantasy.

When she opened her eyes and returned to reality, she saw the truth she didn't want to see when she died, Simon is dead! After learning that she had killed Simon, she felt a lot of guilt. She carried Simon to the orphans' bedroom, sat down, took out the poison she had prepared and swallowed it, recalling what Simon said The treasure hunt game, the person who finds the treasure can make a wish. She just wanted to die and went to see Simon, so she took off the lucky necklace her husband gave him, then coughed twice and fell asleep. And then passed away with this beautiful dream of being with everyone~ This explains Lola's death and why she took off the necklace, because she didn't want to be lucky anymore.

Everyone patiently read the humble opinion of the villain, thank you here~
