Interesting, but vague

I don't really understand the ending of this film with a slightly offbeat style and a cloudy tone. What is it trying to express? The boy shouldn't exist, right? Robin Williams and Toni Collette's performances are wonderful, but still can't hide some of the film's There are some flaws, the suspense is available but it seems a little unconvincing, but it is still worth thinking about if you like non-idiot movies full of independent spirit and sincere emotion.
