And here is the door—the metaphor—that Nora is about to close.
Here, the metaphor.

Nora’s father has an original idea: how can someone who lives through surrogate feelings begin to feel her own self? His answer is to make her act in his own film. In her own film.

At the end of the film, when the door of the house is closed (no spoiler here), the metaphor introduced at the beginning comes to a close. It is a return to reality.

But every metaphor has a departure and a return. The departing movement carries us toward another meaning; the returning movement brings us back to the initial world.

The film begins with the big house as a metaphor—one that reflects Nora’s (Renate Reinsve’s) surrogate feelings. Nora experiences emotions through others, both in the theatre and in life.

This song of Stevie Wonder evokes the idea of beauty. But it also evokes the Kantian idea of sublimity, particularly, of physical sublimity. The sun that ceases to shine, the sea that threatens to consume everything, the day when all will vanish. In the face of this, all we can do is surrender.

The judgment of beauty—of the beauty of loving—has no purpose; it is purely contemplative. It may also involve the contemplation of the sublimity, of the abyss. Such a judgment is typically reflective.

The reflective judgement is the judgement "als ob"/"as if". Stevie Wonder presents the love (for his beloved) as something universally valid: comparable to God's love, love in nature, the laws of Physics and gravity, and even the idea of eternity.

The reflective judgment appears in the "Critique of Judgement" and it is oposed to the determining judgement. While both judgements seek to unify the particular and the universal, the reflective judgement steams for the particular and elevates to the universal.
