But the function of film has never been just to stimulate the audience with its storyline. The two big, timeless themes of love and life and death are presented in an astonishingly calm and powerful way. What I see is the passage of time and the right and wrong in the trivial fragments, the emotional explosion and the revealing of true feelings hidden in the daily details. Things are people and things are not done, and tears will flow first if you want to speak.
The fixed shot of the heroine eating pie moves forward layer by layer, the more depressed it is, the more painful it is. When playing the music of the actor's death, the sound and picture are juxtaposed, the past and the present seem so close but so far away. The house where the two live is a symbol of love and faith, where the ghost's hope and despair are all displayed.
In addition, the narrative structure of the film is also very characteristic. The ghosts are constantly walking in the present and the past, in fact, highlighting the theme of "time".
Write it here first, I will add new ideas later.
(Thank you for the "useful" points you gave me, I will definitely update!)
