Analysis of the theme of the film

The effect is really good. But it is really tangled. I thought that reading the film review would solve my various doubts, but I didn't expect to deepen my doubts... The following is purely personal understanding.... 1. Why the ending will say endless doubts. I think I understand, I think the intention of this film is to use this sentence to tell us that this senseless sacrifice experiment is completely meaningless, because the answer is also impossible to find. 2. The final video notes translate the meaning of the title: witness. It also hints at the film's main theme: it is sad that religion sacrifices so many martyrs as an excuse to seek meaningless things. Ending: Your Excellency still needs to die to see and witness the things behind death. So I think that Anna's last words are of little use. The screenwriter may just want to convey the meaning of "witness" revealed in her last words.

Mademoiselle: Lucie was only a victim. Like all the others. It's so easy to create a victim, young lady, so easy. You lock someone in a dark room. They begin to suffer. You feed that suffering. Methodically, systematically and coldly. And make it last. Your subject goes through a number of states. After a while, their trauma; that small, easily opened crack, makes them see things that don't exist.

Mademoiselle: Martyrs are exceptional people. They survive pain, they survive total deprivation. They bear all the sins of the earth. They give themselves up. They transcend themselves... they are transfigured.
