I have a certain understanding of religion. This film is not actually a religious film
. The interpretation of witches on the Internet. In fact, most people are wrong.
To say that this film is a horror film, I don't feel it at all. On the contrary ,
at the beginning of the movie with a stomach full of anger , he explained the picture of the family being expelled. The male protagonist claims to be Christian orthodoxy, but what the film wants to reveal is that it is the arrogance and ignorance of the male protagonist that leads the whole family down the wrong path and is the beginning of all disasters. And the heroine is actually an alternative in the family. One of the details is that after the expulsion was announced, when the whole family followed her father without hesitation, she came back to her senses after being reminded by her younger brother, implying that she was not in harmony with the family and became a victim. one of the reasons.
The witch of the woods is an illusion, an illusion, but it does not exist. The so-called witch cast a curse on the family is a myth. There are two important factors that really cast the curse on this family. One is the arrogant concept and the wrong cognition. The self-proclaimed Christian orthodoxy is a civilization (plantation) that is divorced from human society and puts him in danger. Second, there is a serious internal division deep within the family. It is this division that has caused serious suspicion among family members, and this suspicion has led to the collapse of the family. There is a saying in China that when one thing goes wrong, everything goes wrong. When faced with difficulties, family members do not work together, but suspect each other, and finally find a victim. Can this family survive?
Why do you say that this family has been severely divided, and it seems to be in harmony? As long as the audience uses dim sum, they will find that the family has already split into two camps. The father, the heroine, and the younger brother are one camp, and the wife and two little children are another camp. What is the reason for the split? There is no explicit explanation in the film, but a closer look at the lines will give the answer. It is that the female protagonist is slim and graceful, attracting the love of the father and the younger brother. In that kind of isolated environment, This kind of love cannot be transferred, it can only be deformed, so that the younger brother cannot remove the sinful gaze, and the mother scolds her daughter as a seductive slut. In the end, he tried every means to drive her away and send her to the town to serve others. Of course, the younger brother who is in the beginning of love can't accept it, he will defend himself to the death, and go to the depths of the jungle...
The ending is also very obscure. The younger brother died in the center of the devil, but his love for his sister was true love and he had an inner sense of guilt, so the camera gave him a picture of relief. The soul was forgiven by God and entered heaven
. The relationship between the host and the hostess is very delicate. At the beginning, of course, they are very loving, and even embodies the perfect state of a Chinese-style husband and wife. The arrogance of the male host did not affect the hostess at all. After living a life of exile (note the dark line, the hostess has grown up during this period), when she found her final place of belonging, the hostess even felt a sense of urgency. The happiness of life (note the freeze-frame picture, the happy profile of the hostess). Of course, as the heroine grows up and matures, there are cracks in the family. As mentioned above, there is another detail. Later, when the hostess complained to the male host that this is a barren land, Contrast just found the land. The joyful mood at the time suggests that the hostess's love for the male host has changed. One of these changes stemmed from jealousy of the daughter, and the other from the blame for the incompetence of the husband. On the surface, this family is headed by the husband, but in essence it is headed by the mistress. Why do you say that? The husband sold his wife's father's silver cup, but he didn't dare to say it. It was obviously the wife's strict control. The silver cup belonged to the wife's family. pleasing love. Well, there is an implicit fact here. The wife is actually quite responsible for the difficulties of the family. Then when the difficulties come, the wife takes off the responsibility cleanly and leaves it to the husband to carry it all. Under such heavy pressure, the husband will Can it not collapse? This also explains why when the black goat attacked for the second time, the husband put down the axe, because he had no idea of surviving.
Talking about the black goat, the black goat of course symbolizes the devil Satan. Then, the tragedy of this family was not caused by the black goat. It is caused by the devil parasitizing in people's hearts. From the perspective of all members of this family, the most pure and kind must be the heroine, followed by her brother. However, the whole family's sewage was poured on her, and she became a disaster. This kind of disaster is not transferred by her will, but is imposed on her by life, so at the end of the whole play, a scene was given. Under the guidance of the black goat, the heroine carried out the canonization ceremony of the witch (human society). victim). The director strongly satirized this black-and-white society and gave people all kinds of hats!
