This is the second work directed by Roman Polanski that I have the honor to see. Maybe I already knew the development of the story before watching this film, so I don't have the expected horror feeling when I watch it by myself, but This does not affect the suspenseful feeling created by this film at all. It can be seen that there is not too much blood splashing in the whole film. The only place where blood is seen is the death of a woman at the beginning, but this did not cause anyone Visual discomfort.
Unlike many horror films that are too pursuit of visual stimulation, the whole film of "Rosemary's Baby" creates psychological fear. Step by step, I find myself falling into a big lie and trap. Except myself, everyone around me It is a terrible feeling to be a member of a certain group, they unite to achieve a certain purpose, there is a sense of powerlessness that is difficult to break free.
The argument that "God is dead" is mentioned many times in the film, which is actually the director's intention. At that time, religions and beliefs in the whole country were in chaos, and various cult organizations came into being, in order to paralyze people's minds and use them for their own use. Thinking about it now, it's terrifying.
What made me pay more attention is the director's personal experience. In the second year after the film was made, the director's home was brutally bloodbathed by the Manson family. This incident became a terrible memory that Polanski could not erase in his life. He almost collapsed after the news. In my opinion, he is a very strong person. The director once said in the film interview that in fact, his life is not only filled with suffering, but also has many happy moments, and it is these happy moments that support him All the way down.
He loves life, enjoys the moment, and pursues what he likes. Such a director is so real and lovely.
This inspired me to live harder and pursue what I like, because this life is so short, I have to live in the moment and have fun in time, otherwise there is a risk of not enjoying it.
