    "The others", the most paradoxical part of this ending is that the "I" played by Nick Kidman does not exist, her children do not exist, her husband does not exist, her gardener and servants Does not exist. The strange noises she heard in the room were actually made by real people. Through the constantly fictitious people and facts around her, she must admit that the truth is only that she slowly becomes a fiction.

    Except for the final ending, it still feels a little bit (similar to the sixth sense), the front is too long. I have no patience to see it. Compared with the sixth sense, the attractiveness is much reduced. In many places, it's just a mystery and it's very meaningless. Nicole's acting feeling really matches her appearance. An unspeakable feeling... I always feel that between raising my hands, there are a little drama-like ups and downs. In the movie, this kind of acting seems very unnatural.
