Okay, late procrastinator, I'm talking about a movie Witch I saw yesterday before writing my review

Then I also thought about the plot for a day before writing it.

Then I actually read it myself, so I can only write some of my own opinions. I am too lazy to check the background information.

First of all, when I saw the scene shown by the title of the movie, I felt that there was another mystery. It is not a simple witch but a vvitch. Yes, it is not a w, but two v

Then this may be a metaphor for the witch in the movie is not real but artificial

It is true that all the misfortunes in the movie can be regarded as the witch's work, but it can also be understood as a man-made disaster

If you explain it according to this way of thinking, first of all, the baby that was lost at the beginning was not actually captured by a witch, but a wolf or an animal. In my opinion, it is a gimmick that is added to all misfortunes and toughness. Just like the witch in the title, it is our tough imagination. The director thinks that the audience will think that it is the work of witches, so they deliberately put on the broadcast of the witch's blood to satisfy the audience and make us become superstitious. Do you think you are just as mindless as the twins in the next paragraph when you read this paragraph, that witches exist and identify innocents?

The original sin represented by the younger brother is lust. It is also clearly indicated in the movie that he also died because of lust. In fact, the film actually made this part more dramatic and the director only let us see what we want to see. I think the little boy may have met a girl in the forest who tried to insult her but was resisted he may have accidentally killed her and fled in a panic and was mentally ill and sick but his parents thought he was murdered by a witch (I The brain is too big)

As for the sheep behind, the invincible goat killed his father, which is even more ridiculous.

I can only say that there is no excuse for guilt

Then the director once again let us see the goat we wanted to see, and the witch showed up

I really don't understand the ending

A bunch of naked women do it around the fire and they all fly

It may be a reminder that the misfortune of the heroine also happens to many other people

Flying up might be... um... it's a hint that they were all put to death in the end, right?

I don't quite understand the ending

    3.5 It has been hyped by the American media. In fact, in addition to the calm grasp of the overall style and atmosphere of the film, there are still some problems with the expression of the story concept. It cannot be expected as a horror movie at all. As the title and ending of the movie emphasize, the strong religious and primitive atmosphere based on the legends of the 16th century New England colonies is what the movie focuses on.

    Literary thriller, the "witch" in the film refers to the various human weaknesses reflected by the different characters of the protagonist's family, adding religious colors and more symbolic symbols to make the story look more ghostly and maddening. The director played tricks on the concept of extension and connotation, and gave the story a broader and deeper interpretation, so it will make you have one kind or another of terrifying subjective assumptions, which is incredible. method
