I have to choose between him (the invisible God) and you. Staring at the crack in the wall, the vast sea was reflected in the opposite window. Time seemed to stand still here, Catherine seemed to feel something, and then she fell to her knees and stroked herself, or received God's caress. Catherine, who had just been discharged from the hospital and returned home, was still suffering from the pain, and she couldn't get rid of God's control over her from the bottom of her heart.
We all live alone in the world, like homeless wandering souls. Catherine confessed this existential helplessness, and her husband Martin comforted her kindly: You have me, and I will not leave you alone.
The father finally quit his job and came to his home on the island to accompany his children. Catherine and her brother Joseph performed their own play for her father. The father cheered loudly, but then ran into the house and cried alone. Catherine and Joseph took the gift from their father and expressed their joy, but when their father left, they said that the gift they received was not what they wanted. The father even wrote in his diary that he wanted to record his daughter's disease process in detail as research materials.
It is also the isolation from each other. Although they are deeply in love, they cannot be expressed or conveyed.
Catherine finally waited for the moment when God came, and with the screeching sound of the helicopter, the door on the wall opened, but Catherine did not see her God, on the contrary, she screamed in horror, as if she saw purgatory.
I saw the ever-giant spider trying to crawl into my body. I fought hard to stop it from getting in.
Finally, Catherine gave up her search for God, accepted the advice of her family, and returned to the hospital for treatment again.
At the end, Joseph and his father are alone for the first time, standing in front of the window and they begin the conversation Joseph has longed for: We all love Catherine deeply, and this love is our God.
In the seventh seal, the knight prays to the "priest" in the dark: Believing in God is an extremely difficult thing, because God never shows up and never helps us when we need it most. It is precisely this invisible God that imprisons the rationality and confidence that human beings should have. On the spring lawn, the knight was holding milk and tasting the delicious wild strawberries, and finally found something more worthy of belief than God: the mortal family love.
Similarly, the protagonist still in the mirror has also experienced the search and questioning of God, and in the recognition of family love, he has obtained the power to continue to survive.
The combination of several empty mirrors on the sea at the beginning is like a mirror. Because of its transparency, you can see each other, but you can never touch each other's hearts and express love.
We all live in the mirror and see each other, but our hearts are isolated and speechless.
