At the beginning of Anna
's film, Paul and Anna's life is boring and like strangers, especially Anna is like a robot, and she has no response to Paul's passion. She lives as if she is dead. known concerns.
No matter what Paul asked her why, she was "I don't know".
When the two had a date for dinner, Paul brought up the matter of working in a different place, but Anna, who was sensitive and lacked trust, thought he was going to leave her, and left with resentment. As a result, he encountered a traffic accident on the way.
Then gradually stepped into the theme, Anna went to Eliot's funeral home, and the first sentence she woke up was "I'm not dead", "I can't die", "The nightmare is too scary, wake up quickly", which is enough to see that she is right. Fear of death, and then various non-acceptance of "death", saying "I'm breathing I'm definitely alive", when Eliot asked her for the first time "is your life worth lingering on?" "Maybe you died a long time ago" Anna hesitated for the first time. Then she tried to escape, and was persuaded by Eliot even after she found out, "You are dead and can't come back to life", just like in her life, she kept trying to change, but eventually she would be pulled back by reality, and every time only It was just a try and never really changed her life.
In the end, Eliot dissected Anna's whole mind and asked her how she would live if she came over again. She said "I don't know" and took the initiative to open the door for her, let her go out, and let her live, but she was still afraid of living after all. More than fear of death, unable to face living, and finally choose to accept "death".

Paul
was impatient when the two of them ate for the first time. Not only did he fail to calm down the emotionally sensitive and excited Anna, but instead, it stimulated her even more, causing her to have a car accident.
After knowing the news of "death", he hesitated to visit the funeral home for the first time, and could see her, but was persuaded by Eliot's words.
The second time Jack said she saw that Anna wasn't dead, she still didn't believe it
The third time she still didn't think she was dead, so she came to the funeral home, rushed all the way to the door but couldn't open the door. The
last time at the funeral, she saw Anna's body, as if she was not dead, but in the end he chose to believe that Anna was dead.
In real life, he could have had countless chances to save her, but he had never been successful.

After Anna's mother
Anna died, Paul came to her and she said, "You took her away from me." On the first day, she visited the funeral home and said, "The soul is not there, so what's the use of the body?" Eliot said, "No, The soul is still there." Then she said, "It's me who suffers, who will take care of me next." It is enough to see that this old woman is a selfish and lazy single mother who never cares about her children and has been hurt by men. The living one of

Jack's mother , the walking dead. Finally, I think the most important dialogue in the film. : I'm breathing I'm definitely still alive. : You people, do you think that you can breathe and defecate, does that mean you are still alive? : I wanted to have a different life. : Then why didn't you try hard. : I've tried it, and it feels like nothing has changed; waking up every morning, taking a shower, going to work along the same lines, coming home from get off work, going to bed, waking up again doesn't make any difference. : So what do you really want. : I want to be happy. : Happiness, you all say you want to be happy, what do you mean? : Don't you understand that's the point of it all, I don't know. : You know, you're just too scared to admit it to yourself, what do you want from life? :I do not know. : You know, what do you want? : I want love. : You have love, Paul loves you.

















: You don't understand, I want to love, I'm so scared, my mom, I was taught a lesson that loving someone means hurting, so I decided not to love anyone, I always kept my distance from Paul , he thinks I don't love him.
:Do you love him?
: He's my only love, but I can never say it, and then he doesn't love me.
: If you could go back to the past, what would you do?
:I do not know.
: I thought you were different, you all said you were afraid of death, but the truth is, you are more afraid of living.
