Confused by the egg...
What's up with the mother and the egg??? Is that when/how they noticed the brain problem? Is there something I missed?
sharespoilers:
I think the mother falling very ill while boiling the egg for her son was a pivotal part of their relationship. She falls into a coma but is on life support, not dead yet, not leaving him. Throughout the movie, the son constantly asks and wonders if she's staying because she hates him. I believe this is why he took on the Menger Sponge project, he wanted to know why a ghost (particularly the boy ghost) will not leave. What is it that they will not detach from. The scientist (the Japanese guy with the boy-band haircut) held onto the belief that it was due to hatred. But at the end, Tung learns that it was because of love.
The egg itself didn't have meaning, it was more about the moment the mother was doing what a mother does; caring for her son.. even if it's just doing something as simple as making him his food.
That's my take on it.
Plus this time she didnt burn herself so it was kind of a way of saying she was okay. IMO
shareI agree.
sharei agree also. love this movie.
I have some questions also. Hashimoto indicated the exact area where the boy's cadaver buried. Is it totally coincident??? Was there any connection of the electrical field with the boy's soul (though the boy becomes ghost because of love)?? And why the cadaver looks so fresh??
Hashimoto believed the electrical field had that effect. But the boys mother wasn't in an electrical field and she became a ghost. He stayed around to be with his mother and help her after she was in an accident. The doctor said it looked like her heart had been massaged.

I love this quote, what is it from?
I know off the subject, but everyone seems to pretty much have answered the egg question w/o my input.

You should check out the DVD. It has an alternate ending, which reveals Hashimoto's fate after his death. It's grotesque and tragic yet fitting. I felt sorry for him, to be honest. He hadn't had a good life, had he?
