The tree of life is derived from the path leading to God in the Bible, and the parents in the play actually represent the old testament and the new testament respectively in my opinion. The father has the laws and regulations of the old testament, while the mother has the laws and regulations of the new testament. Tolerance and kindness, human beings grew up together under the New Testament and the Old Testament. The film not only depicts the plot of the story, but also depicts the origin of life in many places. Just like in the film, the life of each of us is This infinite universe is only a small part. At the beginning of the film, we are told that the eldest brother is dead, but is he really dead? When he grows up, the elder brother understands the love of his parents, and the parents have always loved their children. Human death is divided into three times. The first is the death of the body, the second is the moment of burial, and the third is when everyone dies. You died completely when you couldn’t even remember your existence, and the death of the eldest brother in the film was just a kind of physical death, which can also be understood as the liberation of the body, and lived in a purer way. The mother and wife at the end have a sense of heritage, as if Hera is feeding her own child.

    The whole film seems to have not had time to do the post-editing, just put a bunch of colorful material that was shot in the early stage and just put a piece of it. There is no screenwriter, no director, no editing, only improvisations by photography and actors, and a messy soundtrack.

    It is a whisper of personal details and a peaceful and romantic universe. The unrestricted expression of emotions expands the real world and the imaginary world, and is a lyrical epic that can no longer be expressed in words. It not only explores the reasons for the occurrence of emotions, but also explores the indescribable chaos in the subconscious realm of human beings. What is poetry? It's useless, it's memory, it's history, it's too late to hug you, it has been annihilated in an instant.
