Among them, "Afterlife" is responsible for the plot story, and the overall story is developed and derived from this clue.
And "love" is responsible for the connotation of the story and the core idea - the ultimate unrequited love of a single dog.
It can be said that the afterlife is the skin of science fiction, and love is the bone of the story.
And because the director is the heroine's current boyfriend, we can actually see it from inside the play. This is a director's confession to his beloved girlfriend.
The overall tone of the film is cooler, and the soundtrack and dialogue are more emotional. Because there is an afterlife, you can rely on religion. But to be honest, the overall style of the film is very artistic. If the audience has no interest in literary films, they should not try it. You probably fell asleep during the first thirty minutes of the episode. Of course, if you like literary films, it's another matter. No matter the dialogue or the story, this film is above the standard.
The following is the 102-minute spoiler part of
the whole film. The opening chapter starts with a TV interview with a scientist. The scientist Dr. Harper used scientific data to confirm the existence of the afterlife. After death, the soul will go to other dimensions.
This discovery has made many people who are frustrated in their lives or who are too stressed choose to commit suicide to end their present life and pursue their next life.
Two years later, four million people around the world committed suicide. The world believed that it was because of the discovery of the afterlife that these people chose to die easily. Facing such huge public pressure, Dr. Harper lived in seclusion on a remote island to continue his research.
Harper's eldest son Will, on a boat to the island, encounters Ella, a single woman, and is attracted by Ella's unique temperament. Will originally went to his father, but found that Ella was here to commit suicide, so he rescued Ella and took her to the research facility established by Dr. Harper on the island.
This institution also accommodates people with suicidal tendencies, and gives them a sustenance, that is, it is here to find out what the world to which the soul will go after death is like. In this way, they can make up their minds whether to die or not. In this way, Dr. Harper contained many people to help him do research together.
While helping Dr. Harper with his research (stealing corpses, holding seminars, researching instruments, and investigating experimental results), Ella and Will have a better understanding of the hearts and minds of both parties, and there is no accident between them. ! Dr. Harper fired a female cadet who leaked information and said the experiment had failed when the research was not progressing. The female student cried and left in anger and disappointment.
As a result, Dr. Harper's research has made a breakthrough. After death, people will go to a parallel world, and they will have a chance to make up for the regrets in this life...
This result makes Dr. Harper and his researchers extremely annoyed, because if If the results of the experiment are made public, there will be a larger wave of suicides! But when Dr. Harper gathered the crowd and announced the dissolution of the laboratory, the expelled female student returned and killed Ella with a pistol.
The fiery love made Will think of a way to find an afterlife where "Ella is alive and happy"! So he started going to his dad's machine and doing near-death experiments.
Sure enough, he returned to the ferry and saw Ella, who had not yet gone to the island. Ella said bluntly, you are not dead, this is just a memory. You have not yet reached the "afterlife". I just drowned by suicide at first. But you can't forget me, and you can't forget love at first sight, so when you do the experiment, come back and save me!
But you can't really save me, so you can only save me from near-death experiences over and over again, and then watch me die in other ways. Your father thought that NDEs could explore the afterlife, but it was wrong. Only by really dying can you reach the afterlife.
So, the real me, whether in this life or the next, has never fallen in love with you. It is your memory that fell in love with you, the me you created in the dying reincarnation.
Will asks, if I go to the afterlife, will I still remember you?
Ella replied, maybe.
At the same time, Will heard a voice-over, that is, his father and his brother were calling to rescue him, and it sounded like he was helpless... The
picture flashed, he came to the beach, and saw Ella, whose son was not dead. But he seemed to have forgotten Ella, and walked forward on his own, until at the end, as if he had remembered something, he suddenly realized that he raised his head and looked back at the direction Ella left...
