It's redemption and release.

Rating: 8/10 (11 May 2020)

This is by no means a ghost film or thriller in the ordinary sense, as the film critics said: from the beginning of the thriller pattern to turn again and again, the middle of the ghost-haunted and then suddenly turned down into a warm family film, and the last five minutes of the climax to reveal the mystery play, really unexpected. Even moviegoers of many ghost films have to admit that this is the most intriguing.
If your eyes saw the world differently from everyone else's, would you feel stressed? The answer, of course, is yes. A lot of people will bear heavy pressure just because you are not the so-called "normal" expected by the family and society, you will not be understood and accepted. The film's protagonist, cole, is faced with such an inherent dilemma. The 8-year-old can see ghosts that are invisible to ordinary people, but no one believes him, including his beloved mother. What I remember most is cole sitting at the kitchen table and his mother asking him why he was moving the counters and drawers. Cole denied it (it was actually his grandmother's ghost) and then her mother snapped and ordered him to leave. At this point in the eyes of cole and also rest, but stubbornly endure, the child should have fear, injustice and helpless... Are very real, let a person not only feel: this child suffered how much should not bear the pain! It was this scene that made me remember the young actor harry Jo osment, who was praised as "the most famous child star". His performance is even better than that of many adults.
Bruce Willis's performance in the film is also surprising, the old actor known as "die hard" tough guy, this time as the psychologist melcon looks calm and steady, but the heart is surging. He approached cole with a sense of redemption, a sense of guilt for the patients he had failed to care for and the wife he had left behind. He tried to free him, to help him face his fears, to speak to the souls who had come to him... 'perhaps they need your help! Yes, this is the film has been hiding in the deepest foreshadowing. Not only melcon himself, but all the audience did not realize that this was the ultimate redemption of melcon through cole -- who made who? Who was saved by whom? When you see the end, everything suddenly understood, everything has long been in the director's foreshadowing, really clever. It is also the core of the film that transcends other ghost films. He wears the cloak of a ghost, but what he talks about is the communication between people all the time. Although there is a chill, remember the warmth.
Every soul that yearns to be saved, alive or dead, including cole, cole's mother, and melcon, gets the answer they want. Some discover the truth through others, and some discover it by themselves. After all, all the conflicts in the world can be resolved through love. When cole's mother heard the words her son told her grandmother to bring her "everyday", she shed a few tears and finally released the knot that had been in her heart for so many years.
Salvation is one of the important Christian teachings, that is, the way of Christ to save the world. In Hebrew, a word with a similar meaning is "release." In my opinion, the film deserves praise for its understanding of redemption, "if you don't believe me, how can you help me?" Put aside existing prejudice and stubborn, try to understand others, perhaps, is to save yourself!
Even if you've already seen the movie or already know the ending, don't give up on watching it again. He will tell you that the world we see may not be the whole story. What you have always believed is not always true. Right and wrong, normal and heresy, are always relative.
