Light and mood

Seeing the first third, I have been wondering what this phantom light means, because it has always been shrouded in the pre-dawn or dusk that I have felt since I was a child is the end of the world, until the heroine Marrying the seaside, it suddenly lit up. This tone seems to be the one I am familiar with, Hirokazu Koreeda. I really couldn’t make a big deal out of it, but it turned into a psychedelic in the end. The magic of the eyes, ox fork, this is the so-called phantom light, expressing emotions with light and shadow can be so direct and overwhelming.
As for the ultimate theme of Hirokazu Koreeda about life and death, I have limited experience and limited understanding. Life and death are serious and distant to me, so it is difficult to think deeply. The heroine also takes it seriously, because more It is closely related, so I think too deeply, the relationship between life and death, the relationship between other people's life and their own life, the relationship between value and life, thinking too much, it will become a doomsday phantom wow, it is still a heartless comparison of life really.
