80/100, with the power of film noir, and at the same time create an excellent atmosphere to deepen the story step by step, plus an interesting reversal to welcome the final climax of the ceremony. The structure is simple and...

The story of Christianity's fight against cults and was finally devoured. It is amazing that the various beautiful songs and vibrant images of young people interspersed in the film make people fall into a certain judgment: Is Christianity an enemy or a...

The film is always in a wonderfully intertwined state of joy and peacefulness and eerie and weird atmosphere. This strong contrast and contrast culminates at the end of the film. The police are trapped in the burning wicker man waiting for death, but the villagers form a circle. Singing and dancing to celebrate the sacrificial ceremonies, you can imagine what a destructive and horrible effect this will create in their hearts for those Christian...

The scenes of group sex and naked dancing accompanied by a bewildering and utterly depressive voice are undoubtedly one of the best erotica I have ever seen. Of course, religion and anti-religion are still incomprehensible, but the strange feeling in it will slowly invade the nerve endings and make you...

On the other side of the mountain and the sea, there are a group of heretics. They are lively, intelligent, naughty and sensitive. They work together to use their brains and hunt Christians. They sing and dance with joy and...

The film tried to explain paganism from the perspective of Christianity, and it turned out to be a very primitive thing. Scientists, asexual reproduction, reproductive worship, pagan sacrifices... These factors that conflict with modern Christianity are mixed together to form a so-called pagan religion that is difficult to self-consistent in its belief system and has no foundation or attraction. There is neither reflection on Christianity nor knowledge of paganism, so I can only watch it as a...
The Wicker Man Comments

Sergeant Howie: Where is Rowan Morrison?
Lord Summerisle: Sergeant Howie, I think that... you are supposed to be the detective here.
Sergeant Howie: A child is reported missing on your island. At first, I'm told there is no such child. I-I... I then find that there is, in fact, but she has been killed. I subsequently discover that there is no death certificate. And now I find that there is a grave. There's no body.
Lord Summerisle: Very perplexing for you. What do you think could have happened?
Sergeant Howie: I think Rowan Morrison was murdered, under circumstances of Pagan barbarity, which I can scarcely bring myself to believe is taking place in the 20th century. Now, it is my intention tomorrow to return to the mainland and report my suspicions to the chief constable of the West Highland Constabulary. And I will demand a full inquiry takes place into the affairs of this heathen island.
Lord Summerisle: You must, of course, do as you see fit, Sergeant.
[ringing a bell]
Lord Summerisle: Perhaps it's just as well that you won't be here tomorrow to be offended by the sight of our May Day celebrations here.

Lord Summerisle: In the last century, the islanders were starving. Like our neighbors today, they were scratching a bare subsistence from sheep and sea. Then in 1868, my grandfather bought this barren island and began to change things. A distinguished Victorian scientist, agronomist, free thinker. How formidably benevolent he seems. Essentially the face of a man incredulous of all human good.
Sergeant Howie: You're very cynical, my Lord.
Lord Summerisle: What attracted my grandfather to the island, apart from the profuse source of wiry labor that it promised, was the unique combination of volcanic soil and the warm gulf stream that surrounded it. You see, his experiments had led him to believe that it was possible to induce here the successful growth of certain new strains of fruit that he had developed. So, with typical mid-Victorian zeal, he set to work. The best way of accomplishing this, so it seemed to him, was to rouse the people from their apathy by giving them back their joyous old gods, and it is as a result of this worship the barren island would burgeon and bring forth fruit in great abundance. What he did, of course, was to develop new cultivars of hardy fruits suited to local conditions. But, of course, to begin with, they worked for him because he fed them and clothed them. But then later, when the trees starting fruiting, it became a very different matter, and the ministers fled the island, never to return. What my grandfather had started out of expediency, my father continued out of... love. He brought me up the same way, to reverence the music and the drama and the rituals of the old gods. To love nature and to fear it. And to rely on it and to appease it where necessary. He brought me up...
Sergeant Howie: He brought you up to be a Pagan!
Lord Summerisle: A heathen, conceivably, but not, I hope, an unenlightened one.
