Watching this movie reminded me that I watched another stream-of-consciousness movie "Singing Songs" starring Rooney Mara this year, which was also starring Rooney Mara. Stream of Consciousness movies that are well grasped means that they have been made by gods, and they are groaning. "Singing" was completely shot by the director, and "Ghosts and Ghosts" really captured the soul. (The translation of the name is really good)
The hero and heroine played by Rooney and Casey are happy lovers. The hero died in a car accident and turned into a ghost. He watched all the lives of the heroine in the room. The heroine had a new love. Finally, the heroine moved away and stayed in the wall note. The ghostly male protagonist continued to stay here and waited for different people to experience in this room. In the end, the house was razed to the ground and the tall buildings were built. He could not bear to jump from the tall buildings. He came to a hundred years ago.
The family who wanted to build a house here died. The years changed. He saw himself and the heroine who just moved here. The heroine didn't want to stay here, and the hero wanted to leave. Finally, he decided to leave. In this reincarnation, he is about to die. The helplessness in the face of the established life has become the sound of the piano. When he came to this reincarnation, he found the note that the heroine left in the crack of the wall and disappeared instantly, and in this reincarnation, he watched the heroine leave and waited for him forever.
The heroine's five-and-a-half-minute-long pie-eating scene turned out to be so sad, so she wanted to watch her eat it so quietly. Maybe eating when people are the saddest is the best solution.
The ghostly male protagonist asked the opposite flower bed ghost who you were waiting for. He said he didn't know. This is the saddest sentence in the whole movie with not many lines. Wait until the end and wait for no one. I know that I live only to wait.
The note left by the female protagonist in the crack of the wall is the meaning that makes the ghostly male protagonist wait for life. At that moment, all life is nothingness.
In fact, a passage from the man at the party in the middle is telling us what the director wants to express, but I always feel that this scene is too redundant and there are many things that do not need to be said. When the ghostly male protagonist in another reincarnation found the note and disappeared instantly, and the male protagonist in that reincarnation watched the female protagonist leave, this scene has completely conveyed what the film wants to express, everything in life. This is nothingness, we give it meaning and this nothingness will be infinitely reincarnated from generation to generation.
What exactly is written on the note, I think it should be that the heroine will not come back. After all, the heroine said "because I don't need to go back" at the beginning.
Did she find someone else
And leave me alone
Alone...
