First of all, to really understand this movie, you need to understand three concepts, "people", "ghosts" and "devils".
At the beginning of the film, the biblical words "souls have no bones and no flesh" are introduced. Jesus said that if you touch me, I also have bones and flesh. This is roughly what it means, but everyone in the Bible knows that Jesus is God, and he has bones and flesh. God of meat, the biggest suspense in the whole movie is actually whether ghosts have bones and flesh or are boneless and fleshless. This is the misunderstanding of all the characters. Everyone thinks that "ghosts" are boneless and fleshless. Going back to the scriptures in the opening film, God can have both bones and flesh. Why can't "ghosts" have bones and flesh? Note that the ghost I mentioned above is in quotation marks, and then the second misunderstanding of people appears, what is a ghost? In the film, the Christian pastor said, "A ghost is the soul of a dead man." Yes, a ghost is the soul of a dead man. Since a ghost is a soul, the soul should be boneless and fleshless. There are good and bad ghosts. In the end, the woman in white took the male protagonist's hand and you can see that even the male protagonist thought the woman in white was a ghost. She was indeed a ghost, but this ghost is not another ghost. , the woman in white is the soul of the dead, a good ghost, what is the Japanese, this is the third concept "devil", completely changed from the last Japanese, with eyes and nails on the back, this is the image of a devil in the Bible , Strictly speaking, the devil is not a soul, but an evil thing with flesh and bones. A big question mark in the film is who is a ghost? People think that ghosts are evil, but evil cannot rely on the appearance of flesh and blood. To judge, good and evil are both nature, and human nature and ghost nature have their own nature. Some people say that this movie is a satire of Christianity, but I think this movie is a bit of a black eye on the Japanese. Even scarier than ghosts are demons. What people think of as ghosts are actually human souls, which retain human nature. Human nature can be good or bad. In the Bible, demons are cunning and evil by nature. I just finished it, and I didn't summarize the language very much. It was a bit messy. I hope someone can understand what I said.
