What happens when we die? That is the real question. And within the film I Origins, latching unto the understanding of reincarnation through Hindu beliefs, it is the loss of each person that makes it harder to let go. We move on, but through Ian's shame of still feeling attracted to Sofi, even seven years after her death, shows that our
minds attach ourselves to this hopelessness of feelings and emotions.
There is a connection in life. So why can there not be a connection through death and rebirth? The concept of the mind, the soul, outside of the physical realm of our bodies, makes us question that there is surely more to life than this. The cycle of consequences, of Ian's actions, of Sofi's inactions, bring forth how connection can go further than our bodily selves. And in the film, it is represented beautifully through the eyes.
