Under the packaging of various laboratories and scientific terms, this film actually tells a beautiful story, especially beautiful. The conflict between science and religion is mentioned many times in the film, or the conflict between materialist positivists and supernatural forces. In the end, the protagonist seems to use a scientific method to prove the existence of reincarnation, the soul, and the spiritual world, telling us that the two are not. Contradictions, the love between the brilliant young heroine of literature and art and the male lead of a dead rationalist scientist just shows that the two should be together at all. How beautiful this is, it should be like this, we used to use the so-called "supernatural power" to discredit science, saying that it cannot tell the face of the world, but all the "scientific truths" that are now generally accepted were not supernatural phenomena ? The wind, frost, rain and snow, spring, summer, autumn and winter, the growth of all things, the stars and the universe, none of them were once attributed to religion, but later all attributed to reason. I always hope that the world is knowable and that all unexplained phenomena can be explained one day, just take time.
Then again, does the existence of the soul and reincarnation mean that God must exist? Does it prove that evolutionary God must not exist? Science and theology are like mathematics and physics in the film, one is to point out the cause and effect of the world arbitrarily, and the other is to prove the cause and effect of the world with real examples. Scientists searched for evidence for a long time, and finally found that the facts were the same or different from what the theologians said, what does it matter? The truth pointed out by science can be cruel or beautiful, so beautiful that it can't even match the myth.
Death is probably an inescapable topic of all philosophy of science and theology, a completely unknown field, some cultures fear it and some cultures worship it, and it is also the primary issue of religious interpretation. What happens after death? Going to heaven and going to hell, reincarnating in the six realms, suffering nirvana and rebirth, attaining Taoism and becoming immortals... Religion always gives us conceivable explanations, rather than disappearing into a wisp of blue smoke as scientists say, because as human beings, we seem to be unable to understand The concepts of "disappearance" and "non-existence" may be because we have never really understood the concept of "existence". What exactly is "gone"? I don't understand. When my high school grandfather passed away, I seriously thought about this issue. The body that used to hold hands and talk was "disappeared", but his blue tunic suit, the nails he lost, the mahjong blocks he played, the comb and The towels were still there, and they still smelled of him. The sofa he used to sit on was still sunken down. In my dream, I was chatting happily with his portrait. I was not particularly sad at the time, because my grandfather was very old and he passed away quickly and peacefully without pain. I just couldn't get used to the fact that a person was "disappeared". I remember I told people many times. I was looking at Grandpa's coffin, and I thought he would sit up if I called him. The picture was right and there was no sense of incongruity. Then I could tell the funeral home that I made a mistake and bring it with me. He came home. It wasn't until the ashes were sent to the cremation that I accepted the fact and cried like an idiot. You see, I still don't understand death until the body is gone. When the body is there, I feel no different from falling asleep. So if it's true, as the film says, the dead come back in some form, back to another body, can I accept that?
"The Lovely Bones" says that the most painful thing about death is that everything happens as usual, just without my participation. Death is a wall of silence, we can pretend that our dead lover is just out the door, and then the signal in the distance is bad so he doesn't contact me anymore, but I know that no matter how much I say, he will never respond again. Because of the inability to understand "existence" and "non-existence", interaction has become an important factor in the sensory determination of a person's existence. No matter what you do, the other party no longer has any response, which is terrible. If thoughts and memories could be downloaded like in Black Mirror and Transcendence, I think I'd be tempted to buy a dummy and keep it at home.
But in fact we are not sure, right, we are not sure that death means he is no longer involved in our world, not sure of what I say or do, he can't hear or see, maybe it's just another way that we can't understand In the form of, maybe meet again one day, suddenly receive a thousand unread emails.
Fortunately, we are all mortal. If we don’t encounter major scientific discoveries in this life, at least we can understand what we will be like after death. And my grandfather must have already known what the world on the other side looks like, so why didn't he come and tell me secretly! Still not familiar enough? !
