Allow me to say a few more words~
Almost everyone in this movie is a puppet, but Maxi is not, she is a symbol of desire!
Because, she can get what she wants, and seduces everyone. She is so eager for her that she becomes her puppet regardless of everything, so she is the embodiment of desire!
The simple metaphor is intended to imply that most people's lives are like puppets, dominated by desires; only with a pure heart and few desires can we master our own soul, and we can live more freely and freely. is true freedom!
PS.... At the end of the film, some people understand that Maxi's daughter's consciousness is occupied by John; but my understanding is that after Craig gave up control of John's consciousness, he regretted losing everything and went back to the door, but because the old man They have entered John's consciousness and past 12 midnight, he can only enter Maxi's daughter's consciousness and has no control over her thoughts, he can only see everything in her eyes. . . Even so, he still doesn't give up and doesn't want to leave the door, because no matter what form he takes, as long as he can be with Maxi, he is willing! So Maxi's daughter had Craig and not John on his mind. . .
