It's not that complicated

A little insight. It is obvious that I will not say it, the suspicious part.

1. The elderly bride in the elevator is the honeymoon couple brought up by the elevator after the younger brother turned into a doorman (the husband died of allergies), and this is not the grandmother of the little boy.

2. The little flower playing cards on the stairs were carried by the little boy (the policeman who grew up), he forgot and then tore them away (I personally think this is a metaphor for the theme of the whole film, which will be summarized later)

3. The whole film is basically a virtual space. The real world is not in line with this place, but it is affected by this place. The real space needs the virtual space to provide nutrients (another metaphorical part of the theme of the whole film)

4. Those that lead to the story are not accidents (shooting, bees, etc.), nor intentional, but an event in life (but mostly negative), which makes people sink in the trend of life.

To sum up, the whole film seems to be talking about such a thing, everyone is positive when they are young (fat man goes to school, little boy climbs mountains, younger brother exercises), they encounter setbacks when they are young but they are not discouraged, even if When they were desperate, they still had a little illusion about life, and they were loyal to their original intentions and beliefs, but time and life were constantly tormented and devastated. Later, there was a way to free them, so they chose to relax without hesitation ( On the way to liberation), and forget the original purpose and ideal, even if they get advice, they know that they may forget the previous reason (original intention), even if they carry out a ceremony to pay homage to the past and want to unforgettable (before the police get in the car) Going back to pack up is a metaphor to say goodbye to the past, but he will not forget the past and take away the painting mouse, but he just thinks that he has overestimated himself. Before the younger brother entered the elevator, he remembered the old man's warning → that is, the police, once wanted to commit suicide , and then gave up, decided to give it a try, but also overestimated himself, the same farewell to the brother's bones is also a ceremony), they all forgot, as soon as they opened the car door and the elevator door, they all forgot. In short, when you are young, you are full of vigor, which is good, but gradually you forget why you came here in the first place. The truth is, don’t tear up the cards you used to love so much and throw them away. The things we throw away are precisely the things we cherished so much in the first place and strive to have and protect them.

The above is a brief opinion, welcome to exchange.
