Many people are confused about Anna's life or death?

There is a lot of evidence that the heroine is in a "alive" state, such as opening her eyes, picking up scissors and attacking Deacon, throwing things, losing Deacon's key and hurrying home, feigning death drugs, and being seen by the little boy, breath, guide Jack to bury alive Little chick, piercing Paul... and then induces Anna to be buried alive, which deduces that Eliot is a mission-type serial murderer, and the film can add a suspense crime type label to the horror and horror of humanity.

However, there are many things that cannot be explained by "alive", such as death certificates, no pain when stitched wounds, and no pulse and feeling when walking. Large-area internal trauma can be casually walked for a few days, and thin clothes at 5-15 degrees Celsius are not enough. Not cold, Deacon did not want to let Anna go... So Eliot and Jack were just prophets and psychics, guiding those who died of the body to accept the fact that the soul also died. There is a plot where Eliot asks "what would you do if there is a chance" and opens the door Anna decides whether to live or die, is Eliot really a serial killer?

The director is also a screenwriter. Although the filming was short for about 25 days, it was also the first feature film, but the idea and creation process has been seven or eight years old. The fear of death, whether the soul is still unwilling to accept the fact of death after death, or the fear of being buried alive without dying. It can be seen that the director's creation and shooting have incorporated ambiguous techniques and speculations.

So I think the female protagonist Anna is neither alive nor dead, but a state of both. Her boyfriend and mother want her to be alive but accept her death. Eliot believes that people who don't cherish life should be buried as soon as possible. She accepts death, and finally sees how she chooses. Anna asked Eliot "Why do people die", Eliot answered "It shows the importance of life", Anna asked "What is happiness", Eliot answered "Happiness is no regrets after death", cherish the time of life, love the people around you, Work hard for what you want.
