At the end, I couldn't help but tear up my eyes. On the surface, this is a sci-fi film that discusses the "rebirth" of the afterlife, but it is actually a literary film about the "remorse" of this life. In retrospect, the most tangled part of a person's life is probably regret. Almost all human suffering has to do with remorse: those things that are hard to find, missed opportunities, and people who are forever gone. When we are lost, we always look forward to the next life, because there are too many regrets in this life, and our wishes cannot be fulfilled. The next life is a new beginning that can make up for these incomplete parts. Therefore, these unattainable wishes have been passed down from generation to generation and turned into many epic ghost stories. Nai He Qiaoqian waited for three years, instead of drinking the bowl of bitter soup handed over by Mother Meng, waiting for the chance to come back in a previous life. The movie throws out a proposition at the beginning, "afterlife" exists. Such a hypothetical result has triggered a wave of suicides of more than 4 million people in the United States, and signs urging not to commit suicide can be seen everywhere, but the bright red death figures are still beating day and night. People know that there will be an afterlife, but they give up this life directly, unable to face their regrets, which is their death point. To quote Lu Xun's well-known old saying, "A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and face the dripping blood". If there is an afterlife, the warrior seems to lose its meaning. But assuming that there is an afterlife, have you ever thought that in this life you can’t get over the regrettable hurdle that makes you feel unbearable, and in the next life you can still only linger outside the door, and even life after life, you can only be like a lonely ship on that boat Wandering like a ghost and a ghost, in the alley that is like an endless loop, it will never supersede. Isn't this afterlife even more terrifying? According to the Six Paths of Reincarnation in Buddhism, you are destitute and ill-fated in this life. Even if you can’t bear to look back, you may fall into the animal realm in the next life. You think that no matter how bad you are, it will be better than today. Maybe it will be a more painful tomorrow. "Tomorrow will be better" sounds like an inspirational slogan, but many times we have to wake up a little bit, maybe tomorrow will be worse is the normal state of life. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, and people will change from a smug young man to an old man who is powerless. And hope will accompany old age, and gradually disappear in life. Everyone yearns for wealth and success, but the mediocre journey of ordinary life is a portrayal of most people's lives. The definition of happiness is more often based on comparison. It sometimes takes the form of a daily repetition, an obscure ordinance, or even a dull dullness. You will complain about life, you say that you haven't felt the happiness and joy of knowing for a long time, or just because you have never met the disaster. do not know The most joyful happiness is the mere "lost and found". The "afterlife" images of three people appear in the movie, all of which are regrettable completions. The corpse Philip's remorse for his father's lack of filial piety, the hero's father's remorse for his wife who was about to commit suicide, and the hero's remorse for being unable to stop his beloved woman from being shot. They all try their best to make up for this regret in their memories of their afterlife. At the end of the movie, it also gave this love a good ending. Letting the hero and heroine get to know each other again in a new afterlife and make everything perfect, I think it's a bit superfluous. The topic of the afterlife is too huge. If it rises to the category of philosophy and theology, it is like the vast universe. I think regret is an integral part of life. Just as positive and negative yin and yang, black and white day and night, pain and joy, always exist in pairs. Only because we fear death, we cherish life; because the pain is piercing to the bone, we feel small happiness; because there is no afterlife, we understand the importance of this life.
