That’s why people turned a blind eye. That’s why the history teacher would only say a certain dimension of history when introducing the school’s past. So McCann couldn’t accept the truth from the kid who eventually killed him and committed suicide, so Ke You can only paint smiling faces, rainbows and other beautiful things on the surface, because "they can only see what they want to see."
Light and shadow always coexist. The personality that cannot accept the shadow is incomplete, and incomplete means the possibility of division. This is an era of schizophrenia. However, people try to deny the split by refusing to admit it.
McCann is a psychologist. This role determines the tone and theme of the movie. This is certainly not a ghost film, but it is not a warm and ethical film, but a major psychological topic: the shadow of human nature (based on the shadow of the world), schizophrenia, and the possibility of self-healing. .
At the beginning of the movie, McCann was optimistic. Did his family and his work give him a sense of happiness in life? At this time, he was of course far away from the truth of the world, and also far away from himself. Until his sudden death, at this time, his world began to disintegrate. His wife is alienated from him, the maintenance of the soul and the separation of the body, or the closeness of the body and the separation of the soul. In any case, the two are similar.
His attempt to help Cole was actually just an attempt to complete his own salvation. Because people cannot complete the self-fulfillment in the form of an individual, but always approach the self in the contact with the object of others. In this process, Cole began to gradually approach the truth of the world. Although at one point he still had doubts, and said "I can't help him" to the recorder.
"You don't believe me, how can you help me?" Cole pointed out the crux, because he had the same problem. He couldn't accept himself, in fact, it was because he couldn't be accepted. Believe that is not the beginning of help. To believe is to help and save. However, contemporary people are so alienated from each other. Between mother and daughter, mother and son, teacher and student, child and child, child and doctor, I believe it is already too difficult. .
Only people who are displaced between life and death will discover the other side of the world.
