The death of the lover brought by the war and the family tragedy of the heroine when she was a child The simultaneous death of her parents and half-brother (son of Mrs. Maud) is the reason why the heroine has been immersed in fear and anxiety, and the heroine lost her memory and forgot her childhood. The tragedy she experienced, but her wet nurse, Mrs. Maud, has been brooding over the tragic death of her son, and she wants to find a childhood playmate for the dead son's lonely little ghost Tom, so she carefully designed the school's teacher to travel thousands of miles to invite the heroine. Help go to the old house to investigate the ghost incident. The old house has been converted into a school, and the heroine has found her lost memories step by step, her bloody childhood. This is already a dark metaphor for the bloody oil paintings hanging on the walls of the hall. In order to make little Tom no longer lonely, Mrs. Maud decided to drink poisonous wine with the heroine and go to the underworld to accompany Tom forever. It is a pity that although everyone is dead, even if everyone is a ghost, they cannot be together.
The heroine F is dead.
Although the kid was willing to save her and gave her medicine in the end, he didn't have time. Mrs. Maud and she took the same amount of poison in seconds. There is no reason why Mrs. Maud could be saved by drinking the antidote after being dead for so long. Of course, this is logical reasoning. The most intuitive evidence in the film is that at around 1:39:45, when F walked through the corridor, a small part of her body passed through the hand of a male teacher, and F passed in front of the male teacher. If F was a living person, The male teacher should be encountered but he is seen as nothing, and this is the most obvious one.
1:39:29, the holidays are over, and the school has started. In a quiet conference room, there is no one in front of the corner window. In the next shot, F is standing in front of the window. The door and passage of the room are obviously opposite the window. , which is where F came out in the next scene. If F didn't have the ability to pass through walls like a ghost, why did she walk into and out of the room along the same long passage? It is impossible to walk around just to take a look at the scenery outside the window and then go back the same way.
1:23:33, the little ghost Tom can change his face and clothes. - The ghosts in this film have the ability to shape themselves. (interrupting)
1:24:10, F said: "We see what we need!" This sentence is very important, explaining why some people can see F's ghost at the end, and some people can't. Therefore, it is not surprising that little Victor can see F, and the male protagonist can see her, but the principal can't see F.
At the end, F's remarks are very interesting, she said to let the driver wait for her at the end of the road, she will take a walk in the school, like before, until Saturday. This shows that the school had just been on holiday when F died. During the whole holiday, F relied on the male protagonist to come back to the school many times. The reason for coming back may be to find his old friend. Although the heroine died according to Mrs. Maud's wish, she did not see Tom and Mrs. Maud who had died after taking poison. The heroine wanted to see them very much, which explains why Tom was still dead after 18 years. There is a person over there. According to reason, Tom's father should also be with him in the underworld. Perhaps what the director wants to tell us is that ghosts are actually more lonely than people. They have no company and can only see them with the people who were closest to them or wanted to keep in touch with them.
The title is called Awakening. The heroine recovers the childhood memories that were imprisoned due to fear. At the same time, it also means that the heroine is free from the fear of death. Although she died, she finally found true love and finally let go of her past. . The last sentence of the heroine: not seeing them, but not seeing them does not mean forgetting. All the love and hatred she had before her death may still continue, even after her death.
Death is not the end, but another beginning.
