The opposite of the so-called real world is the spiritual world. The movie uses pictures and plots to describe the state of the mind, just like using "calm as water" to describe the state of mind, here is the language of the movie. No parallel universes, no infinite loops.
The film depicts two kinds of suffering. One is the so-called "young people" whose misfortunes are caused by others and suffer passively by themselves. They face misfortune and adapt to the environment.
The pain of the little policeman comes from the divorce of his parents. In his inner world, the sin of his stepfather is not as simple as taking away his mother, but killing his younger sister, breaking up his relatives, driving everyone to a dead end, escaping into darkness and hopeless, the kind of extremely sinful person! Mother is a lunatic who doesn't care about herself and doesn't deserve to be dealt with.
Despite the reality and inner pain, adversity can inspire energy and make life better. Just like all children who are troubled by their original family will have an idea: I want to leave them, I can't be affected by them all my life, I want to create a life by myself. In the psychic world, this thought presents a picture of him leaving the SUV and the gas station and living alone in a tent. In reality, he reads, falls in love, gets married, has children, and becomes a policeman.
When the person who made you suffer "dies", it may be really dead, or it may just be mentally no longer exerting influence. Then you have a choice. Choose to accept the self that has been shaped by suffering, or choose to be the self that has never suffered.
Obviously, people can't see how well they maintain their figure in the cramped stairwell, nor can they see their healthy and peaceful life in the wilderness. People do not understand how suffering shapes themselves, but only see suffering itself. You are cut off from your experience, and you are no longer you.
In the police's mind picture, he burns his life in the tent, brings some souvenirs, and embarks on a new journey, but soon, even the souvenirs are thrown away. In reality, he began to act like a policeman, not telling evidence and shooting at will. He completely forgot how he was reborn from a bad family of origin. If you forget that it is not easy to get, you will not cherish it!
He went to jail after shooting his rival. The mental picture at this time presents a brand new dilemma: the stair dilemma. This is also the second type of suffering the film describes, the so-called "older people". Not only do you take the initiative to create misfortune, but you also create misfortune for others.
Distressed "old people" indulge in the past and escape reality. In the spiritual world, the picture presented is that of paralysis and self-defeating. In reality, the police go to jail until they die of old age.
This old age experience of my stepfather is even more telling. The film doesn't say what kind of reality he experienced when he was a child before he got on the spiritual raft, but in reality he gets along well with the police mother, and it can be inferred that he is also more active on the spiritual raft. Later, he gradually forgot the hard-won happiness and began to quarrel with the police mother. The picture in my mind is the death of the boatman and his getting into the red SUV. And then there was his depravity in reality, and his self-abandonment in the mental picture.
When you forget how to live with suffering, you are consumed by suffering. The little policeman's first pain came from his mother's betrayal of his family. He learned to live together and walked out. After forgetting it, he was caught on his wife's derailment. The first pain of the stepfather is unknown, but it is said in the play that he stopped drinking for five years, and he has been drinking after the fall, and it is inferred that he is always on this issue. My younger brother was arrested for committing a crime, and he lived a happy life after being indoctrinated. It is estimated that he will commit a crime again later.
There is no loop in this show, but a linear relay. The bride in the hotel corridor died on the escalator, and it can be inferred that she did not escape the curse. Suffer from the mistakes of others, and create misfortune for others.
The way to break the curse is not to get in the police car or elevator. This means accepting the trapped but strong self, and accepting the misfortunes created by others is also meaningful to me. If you escape the real suffering in your mind and make up memories of people, you will lose your vigilance in reality, don’t know how to cherish it, and suffer again, and this time you will be cocooned and unable to stimulate energy.
This movie confirms two old sayings:
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
Do not live by sin.
