I origins, a literary film that integrates various elements of science, religion, love, and reincarnation. The painting style and theme song are also full of free and warm tone. It is a thoughtful, deep and comfortable film. The concept of love is deeply shocking.
The story begins with a pair of eyes of a woman, which is like a sunflower falling on Lake Baikal, giving people a kind of clear, mysterious, deep and splendid eyes. The fate of the male protagonist begins to change when he sees these eyes. They met at a Halloween party. The woman Sophie told the male protagonist Ian about a bird. When this bird meets the love of its life, it will be happy and sad. Happiness is because of the happiness of the other half. Just beginning, sad because this happiness is over in the blink of an eye. Sophie gave Ian a sense of mystery, but disappeared after the party. In the film, the male protagonist said such a feeling to his companion, which is poetically described: You ever feel like when you met someone they fill this hole inside of you and then when they're gone, you feel that space painfully vacant. You meet someone who fills the void in your heart, after they leave, your body becomes
empty , when the glamorous, blurred, and ethereal film theme song "Dust it off" sounded again, the onlookers were also moved with joy, this is the meaning of finally finding you. After that, the two fell into a fiery and lingering love. When the two bodies blended, their souls blended together, cherishing each other, and relying on each other. On the day when the two were going to get their marriage certificate, a tragedy happened. The fate of the woman in the film was the same as the kind of bird she said. After having a short and fiery love, she died. The male protagonist cried. Heart-piercing, the cry in the movie was finally silenced, showing the helplessness, despair, guilt, and pain of the male protagonist, which is unforgettable.
Sophie mentioned soul, God and religion in many conversations with the male protagonist, but the male protagonist is an absolute materialist. He only believes in data and science. He has always wanted to prove that religion is untrustworthy through his scientific experiments. So there are also clear differences between them. After Sophie died, Ian married his lab parter, Karen. Karen is also a person who believes in science, but she is not an absolute rational person. She believes in a little bit of feeling than Ian. Because of an experiment done by their children, they discovered the mystery of whether people with the same iris structure have memory connections. The male protagonist found that there was a person with exactly the same iris structure as Sophie. In India, he wanted to make that memory dusty , he did not want to recall, but just like the theme song dust if off wrote, this memory is still dusty and reopened.
One of the points that shocked me in the film was that when the male protagonist was desperate and was about to give up as soon as possible, the little girl with the same iris structure as Sophie appeared in front of him, and he finally found it! After giving the girl a test, the male protagonist is a little disappointed. He is a person who believes in the data, because the data shows that the probability is very low, so he denied the reincarnation of the soul, but when the girl saw the elevator and hugged him in panic , he burst into tears, I burst into tears, and was deeply shocked. Sophie was so afraid of the elevator when she died. She and the little girl fit in at this point. At the end of the film, Ian slowly walked down the stairs with the girl in his arms, opened the door, and walked in the direction of the light. We don't know the end of the film, and we don't know if the male protagonist also believes that sometimes religion can be falsified, and whether he will keep walking with this person who is similar to the soul of the person he once loved and guard her. .....But this kind of love has been deeply imprinted in my heart. It is the past life and the present life. We can find the person who fits our soul the most. As long as we identify you, it is still you.
Someone said that there are two kinds of death, one is physical death, the other is the last person who remembers you forgets you, Ian has never forgotten the person he loves, even seeing her picture again He can't help but feel nostalgic for that passionate past. It is because of this that we dare to believe that Sophie has never left, her soul is still there, pinned on another distant body.
After watching the film, I can't help thinking, will our spirit and flesh die together? Although reincarnation is full of mystery and unbelief, a kind of yearning for it is still very beautiful, at least because of these longings, a kind of desire and expectation for my future self, we can have a little nostalgia for this world, after all, this world Still a little cold.

    The director is really a hidden reincarnation, believing that the eyes are the fingerprints of the soul
