Go to my aunt's house and live with my cousin. My aunt talked about the story of Jesus' resurrection in an attempt to make Little Portnay accept the fact of her mother's death smoothly, but she couldn't stand up to Portnay's heavy questioning, and finally gave such a blunt and flimsy factual advice as "Mom can't come back".
When she went to the boarding school, the "daughter of God" told her that as long as she became a daughter of God, she could talk to God, so she braved the so-called test. Finally, in the cemetery, Mom showed up. Mom said that it was too late to say goodbye to her, she was already dead and could not come back. Little Portnay said, let's hide together, maybe they won't find out. Mom said a few words, and finally comforted her to learn to be happy. So at the end of the film, she showed a firm smile and said to her father, "Mummy taught me to learn to be happy. At this point, Little Portnay finally got out of the shadow of her mother's death and accepted the fact that she had never been able to understand.
Analysed in this way, the film becomes symbolism. However, this is also the usual method of movies. Only movies that can expand the meaning can be regarded as good movies.
Even the most sensible person has a time. When our doubts can't find a way out, its corpse will rot and breed all kinds of germs, fragility, paranoia, collapse, escape... There is a saying that when you understand everything, you forgive everything. Although life or individuals are never obliged to explain for us, but living, tired, and groping forward, we will inevitably encounter all kinds of earthly annoyances that kill us halfway, they consume and divert our fighting spirit, energy and energy. Passion makes us struggle blindly like a trapped beast. When the trouble reaches the depths of our heart and lungs, the placement of doubts is our stimulant and sedative. This placement of doubts, in terms of the plot of the film itself, is to move God's faith and blood love with sincerity. So it doesn't have to be a "scientific way", it doesn't have to be a plausible explanation.
According to the movie, the image of Little Porternay reveals such an initial state, I don't understand anything, any external statement may shake and expand my doubts, I am tightly bound by doubts, unable to move (Little Portnay has no interest in participating in the games and conversations among her peers, she has retired from the life she should have, and is unable to extricate herself in doubt and sadness), what I need is an explanation that I can accept, I need an explanation. A gentle way to set aside doubts that are running around.
At this point, the meaning conveyed by the film can be expanded in all directions.
