Loneliness hits hard.

If you don't have some repressed emotions in your past, it is not recommended to watch it, otherwise you will only feel that this is a boring and boring ghost movie. That's right, the protagonist of this film is an orphan with only two holes in a white sheet. As we all know, ghosts become ghosts because of certain obsessions. For him, it may be his love and reluctance for his girlfriend, or maybe he wants to know what his girlfriend wrote on the small note hidden in the wall. . At the end of the film, he finally pulled out the small note. The moment after seeing the note, he collapsed into the house like air, leaving only the tortured white sheets. As for the contents of the note, the director did not tell the audience. The film is terrifying, but it’s not about the images surrounding ghosts. For me, it’s gripped by an incomparably silent sense of loneliness—the loneliness that can be seen but cannot be touched by a lover, and can only be watched from the sidelines. The loneliness of a family having a warm dinner can only be seen in the loneliness of young and energetic young people gathering together... After his girlfriend moved out of the hut, he stood in front of the wall window and watched quietly. At this time, he saw another "poor man" in the hut opposite. With their thoughts and conversations with each other, the sense of loneliness at this time is magnified again. With the lingering soundtrack, it will make people feel extremely heavy after empathy. Yes, you have been substituted into the character by the emotions you feel. The love and being loved in life, the unforgettable pain, the separation or abandonment experienced, all seem to have become nothingness, but they are deeply engraved in time, but they have nothing to do with you, you can only feel the endless loneliness, You are sad and desperate, but find that the tears you cry are dry. Even though this ghost in a sheet doesn't have a line from beginning to end, you can deeply understand what he thinks and feels. Maybe this is the charm of stream-of-consciousness movies. After becoming a ghost, he became a spectator in his own life, and he "existed" for a long time. The vicissitudes of life and the changes in people made him feel more and more meaningless, because those things had nothing to do with him, he was just alone. But he couldn't get rid of such a self, because he was trapped by his own obsession, trapped deeply and deeply. It is not so much a horror film with love as the background, it is more like a philosophical film that explores the essence of life. The birth and death of human beings are based on individual units, and it is unavoidable that there is a lonely existence at the beginning and end of life. For human beings, parting is inevitable in life. No matter in the latitude of time or space, human beings are just tiny particles in the universe, which are fleeting. But life has meaning because of its limitations. Otherwise, you and I may become ghosts in white sheets, wandering in the indifferent and lonely world.

    It's kind of sad to watch it for some reason. It's a very special and very funny movie. It hit my wonderful laughs several times. I couldn't stop laughing at the theater. So beautiful, and Casey has such a good figure? ! In fact, I feel very distressed that Guigui has been standing for so long, especially the part where the heroine eats pie angrily.

    It's beautiful enough, but not smooth enough. After a day of work, I inevitably fell asleep watching this movie for a quarter of an hour. The picture of the two ghosts disappearing is too sad, and the little kisses before the two fall asleep make the deep feelings need not be laid out. / Rooney Mara is really my favorite actor, I almost cried when I ate a pie.
