Rosemary's falling or motherhood

Coinciding with the fiftieth anniversary of the release of the movie, it is purely coincidental, purely unintentional, and life is sometimes more coincidental and dramatic than the movie, the same for Roman Polanski and Mia Farrow, whether it is the Manson family who shocked the world afterwards. The homicide, or the custody battle between Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, made this film with a profound impact on future generations destined to go to the altar.

No vulgar editing to frighten the audience's nerves, no disgusting and exaggerated makeup to frighten the audience. Instead, there are layers of progressive psychological fear and a sense of powerlessness against the oppression of reality. The floating painting also adds to the charm of this Roman Polanski artwork.

At the end, Rosemary's smile to the Son of Satan seems to imply pure motherhood, which makes the film turn into a feminist film. It also seems to imply that Rosemary was assimilated by a cult, so that the film is full of a kind of sinking in reality at the end. Sense of fear.

Movies and reality are scary.

Maybe we also feel at a loss, maybe one day we will feel helpless and old, maybe one day we will surrender to our interests, maybe one day we will be overwhelmed by reality, idealism and heroism may always only be live on the screen.

    It used to be my favorite movie of my life, and it still is. With the increase in the number of viewings, the perfect audio-visual experience and skillful narrative skills have become familiar to him, and it has become the greatest pleasure of repeated viewing after clearing the fog of strangeness and discovering its metaphorical smell from the tip of the iceberg. With the gradual invasion of the world-room-womb in space, men are eroded by fame and fortune, women are tortured by fertility, and fatherhood loses its ethical control under the interference of absolute power (Satan). All the details project the hopelessness and madness of the modern world: the hypocrisy of intimacy, the frailty of the flesh, the incompetence of science (pills, drinks), the pretense of words (names), the persecution of death by those of truth, the ridiculousness of fashion (hairstyles), diet (desserts, raw meat), even global warming and racism (Asian for photography at the end). In the end, Rosemary broke the boundary between the individual and the world, only to witness the cruel truth of the alienation of the next generation. Off-screen is more real desperation: the Polanski scandal erupts, Mia is entangled in ethics, and Cassavetes represents a lost intellectual. Complete the indictment of God's death with the cult.

    When I watched the film, I got stuck at the end, I wanted to cry at the time~~~ Later, the club replayed the film. Then I took it home and showed it to my mother, who had nightmares that night. Speaking the next day: next time you come back and watch more horror movies!
