This is a very slow-paced movie. The first long shot of the movie is when C is lying in the hospital morgue with a bed sheet covered after his death. I specifically looked at the progress bar. This shot lasted for 1 minute and 10 seconds without moving, until he sat as a ghost in a bed sheet. stand up. The director's patiently brewing emotions may only be boring in the eyes of most audiences. But also such persistent patience does convey the loneliness of this film.
When the male protagonist just turned into a ghost and wandered in the hospital, a bright window opened on the wall, which should be the entrance to heaven. He didn't go in, so he probably couldn't let go of the heroine. So he walked back to the previous home and watched the heroine put all the snacks sent by his friend into his mouth because of his sadness, until he vomited, and saw the heroine trying to make a new boyfriend. Eventually, the heroine moves away, and at the end of the movie we know that the heroine has always wanted to move somewhere else. So the heroine really started a new life. But he chose to stay in this house, he was waiting for the heroine to come back.
A new tenant has arrived. A single mother with two children. He didn't like someone else occupying his and his girlfriend's former home, so he took the strongest possible way to scare them away. When I was watching this place, I thought about why he chose not to appear in front of the heroine. The reasonable explanation is: ghosts can only affect inanimate things, but cannot directly contact people, and he may not want to scare the heroine. The scene of the male protagonist throwing a plate is the strongest emotional outburst in the whole article. He hates these people who occupy the memories of himself and the heroine. In the same way, it scare away subsequent tenants. He suddenly remembered that his girlfriend liked to hide small notes in the house where he lived, and he was digging at the wall to see what she had written. But at this point the house was pushed.
Time seems to have reincarnated here, back to hundreds of years ago. A family of four in a carriage came to this place. I want to settle down here. The little girl at home wrote a small note and pressed it under a stone. The male protagonist should be excited at this time. This habit of writing notes hidden at home is exactly the same as that of his girlfriend. The male protagonist may want to wait for this little girl to grow up and become his girlfriend. But the family was killed in these chaotic times. The male protagonist watched their corpses rot into bones, which were then covered up by weeds. I don't know how many years to wait.
When the tall building rose to the ground, he stood on the roof and jumped. He wanted to give up, there was no end to the day-by-day waiting, but he was already a ghost, how could he die again. Finally, he waited until this day, when he saw "myself" and "my girlfriend" returning to the house. He watched the sweetness and quarrel between them, and occasionally made some noises, but in general he was quiet as if he didn't exist. Until the night before "himself" was about to die, he punched the piano keyboard. He had experienced all of this when he was a human being. He now finally understands that the night before his death, it was the ghost of his senior who reminded him, and it was the ghost of his senior who was annoyed. Then the newly deceased he and him silently watched the heroine in the house. He finally pulled open the wall, and the moment he saw the heroine's note, he disappeared.
He can't go to heaven because he has given up the chance to go to heaven. The basis for him to exist in the world for so many years is just an obsession. At first, it was the heroine, and then it should be just the note from the heroine. Clinging to one person or one thing is, in the end, just a thought. This thought wants to make people live and ghosts to live. He can't let go. But when the obsession is achieved, it is not the moment of possession, but the moment of zero. The obsession of ghosts is like a negative number. The result of obsession is a positive number with the same absolute value. When they meet, they disappear, because when the desire is satisfied, it means that even the desire does not exist anymore. .
