Director’s Statement

The concept for the movie "Back Home" originated while I was writing a horror novel. During this time, I interviewed individuals who claimed to have the "third eye" and asked how they would react when encountering ghosts. An overwhelming 90% of respondents said they would pretend not to see them. This response deeply struck me.

Although most people do not possess the "third eye," in real life, when faced with injustice or unfairness, many often choose to turn a blind eye or keep their distance. This societal behavior inspired me to explore this theme further in the film "Back Home."

導演的話

「七月返歸」這個故事的構思來自於我在撰寫恐怖小說期間的經驗。我曾訪問過一些擁有「陰陽眼」的人，詢問他們在遭遇鬼怪時會如何應對。其中高達九成的受訪者表示，他們會選擇裝作沒有看到。這個回答深深觸動了我。

雖然大多數人並不具備「陰陽眼」，但在現實生活中，當面對不公平或不正義的情況時，很多人往往選擇「視而不見」或「保持距離」。這種社會行為態度促使我希望透過這部電影來深入探討這一主題。
