struggling people

Perhaps, only by accepting the self who did not do things well can we be freed from constant regret and purgatory-like reincarnation.

Rewatching the film three years later, I feel like I read something different.

Before, I saw the structure in the movies, but now, I seem to see myself in Jesse.

No matter how you do it, it is impossible to make things perfect, only in remorse trying to repeat the past over and over again, trying to make up for it, but never being able to make the past better, falling into eternal self-doubt and ego Tormented in purgatory.

This is the so-called demon.

Jesse boarded the boat over and over again, trying to do it again, this time she would do better than last time, but she still didn't save anyone, just struggled in purgatory in vain.

What I see is the helplessness of the world, and what I see is the living beings struggling in the world.

Perhaps, admitting that you screwed up a part of your life and then accepting its consequences is the only way to be free from anxiety and anger, resentment and injustice, regret and despair.

In Western culture, the importance of personal choice is more emphasized, but in this film, although Jesse's choice in countless reincarnations comes from herself, and the specific things she does in each reincarnation are different, But it turned out that it was precisely because of her concern, her unwillingness, and her remorse that she fell into this reincarnation and could never be freed from it.

Growing up, we encountered too many choices. With so many choices, how should you choose?

This is approximately

Some kind of fate. In short, you can't get everything.

Recently faced with some options.

By the time I finished watching this movie, I already had my own answer.
