Dream, or go home?

Looking at "The Undead" again, I no longer care about David's magical power and the twisted logic of the glass doll. Instead, I feel that the dilemma about dreams and family that has continued since "Sixth Sense" seems to reflect Ah San The director’s mood back then,
the psychologist of "Sixth Sense" was enamored of his career and neglected his wife, so that the protagonist would still be worried after years of death. The last sentence of the soaring heaven was "your are never the second"; and When facing his girlfriend in a car accident, the new rugby star of "Undead" resolutely chose to retire. This seems to be right. The glass doll also found an excuse for him "How long can rugby play? 10 years. But love can." Endure forever". But what about the final fact? But in ten years, love faded, and the helplessness of losing a career shattered love. Yes, there is no alienation to each other, no derailment, the children are smart and cute, but all this still cannot compensate for the heart of a man who has lost his dream.

    At least in "The Undead", Shyamalan's audio-visual language is full of this charming appeal. Whether it is the movement of the mirror or the choice of strong contrasting colors, they all support the "Undying" always tell us that this is far from us. A fitting and unreal story. After "The Sixth Sense of Life and Death" became a global hit, Shyamalan was regarded as an innovator of film theory, but "Undead" really makes people wonder what story he wants to tell - maybe it's because he thinks There's so much to tell that I want to find my own way. Such a tone Meyer directly led to the gimmicks of the sequels "Split" and "Mr. Glass", but they could not stand up to pondering.
