Trying to make a new start

Warning: Spoilers
I get the wanting to change yourself and so the best option is to leave a toxic environment aspect here. But then a death calls him back to settle family affairs. But then he somehow thinks that the toxic environment somehow also changed in his absence. I mean why would you go back to old people and haunts expecting them to accomodate the changes you made.

Kind of frustrating to see this main protag running headlong into this mess, there was no reason for it really other than the fact that he didn't really change that much while away. It was a faux change from the story about his time away he tells to an ex, the protag seems a bit on the simple side tbh. IRL you just totally avoid those people and find some new people who share your new values. There's not even a need to go away just drop them. With the inheritance make a new start. I guess I'm just a bunch fed up with the fake drama and suspension of disbelief stuff all this hangs on. I do like this movie but only as a warning really as to frustrating yourself which this protag does. And the ending is just showing a cycle of it going on, but running away from a lot more. I mean maybe he came back but that's not what is implied at the end. More mess to cleanup later I guess. The kabbalistic tarot isn't really needed here and is just artificially added into it for some reason, it's like the materialism and fatalism of astrology, gag. And it's not a mistake the godzilla ex is the one to introduce it, ugh. Like you can't change it's all in the cards or stars or your genes or etc nonsense. That's all an excuse to throw your hands up.
