What touched me the most about the whole film was the ending of the story, where the man dies and the woman turns back into a loggerhead turtle and swims out of the sea. I can't help but ask myself, women and children, is everything an illusion? Why do I suddenly feel very sad and feel that life is just a dream of Nanke. All the good things that have been hoped for have never happened. Or, what happened, what was beautiful in the past, was just one's own subjective feelings, or even fantasies.
Recently, I have been thinking about how to choose each fork in life. The man in the story has also gone through the process of choosing: stay or leave. In the end, he chose to stay on the island. But seeing the scene where the woman turns back into the loggerhead turtle after the man dies, I can't help but wonder, is what the man's horn experiences all hallucinations? In other words, did the man choose the wrong one?
But if you want to go deeper, how should you decide between right and wrong? Or, it is not appropriate to ask right and wrong, because in the face of life and nature, there is no right or wrong at all, there is only one fact: when life ends, we will all return to nature. Choice is nothing but choice.
