All terror is due to inability to resist

The female voice singing in the title has already made me feel the helpless tragedy that will happen next. I will feel it from the perspective of the heroine. Many of the barrages say that the heroine is stupid, but don't forget that the viewers are also bystanders, and bystanders are clear. If you are yourself, you will not necessarily be better than the heroine. The heroine doesn't have a job, so she doesn't have her own social circle, and is completely dependent on her husband alone. Naturally, it is what her husband says she believes; it is natural that she will tell her husband unreservedly whatever she feels, which is understandable. At the beginning of the film, when she introduced her husband to others, she mentioned several plays that he had participated in, because no one had heard her husband's name at all, from this point it was enough to prove that she supported and trusted her husband very much, so when When this was discovered by the cult couple, of course they knew that as long as she got her husband, getting her would be easy.

Vigilance is what I learned from the film and reminded myself, a girl, don't chatter, remember to learn to give others a chance to speak, otherwise I think Dr. Hill could have been her life-saving straw. Don't take things given by strangers easily, and don't eat food given by strangers easily. These are common senses that should be understood when you were a child. Is the heroine an angel who has never been stained with the world? The old woman can also give away the things of the dead, and it is actually a lucky amulet! It is true that one dares to give, and one dares to receive~ It can be seen how important it is for a person to understand common sense and learn to think.

The soundtrack to the film, I think, is also very good. The chants at the beginning and end, although the same, at the beginning makes me feel that a tragedy of powerlessness that is about to happen to a woman is about to begin; at the end, tell me that the result is probably like this, look, isn't it? Powerless to resist? In the film, many of the soundtracks are disorganized, making people feel restless in addition to feeling nervous, especially the part where the heroine escapes from the elevator and returns to the room, and the heroine is suppressed by a bunch of cultists and takes tranquilizers In that section, her mouth was covered and she couldn't scream, but the background music at that moment was a woman's wailing. Isn't a cult just brainwashing people and making people lose their minds? I think these chaotic music are used very well.

In the end, when the heroine walked into the hall of the cult organization and saw everything, I thought she would stab her chest with a knife in her hand, but this ran counter to what I thought, but it was in line with the heroine's character, she was too fragile Now, in times of crisis, I will only panic and cry. I haven't read the original novel, but in other film reviews I saw that the heroine ended up jumping off a building to end herself. This is consistent with what I thought when I watched the movie. Sometimes I have nightmares about being chased by monsters or villains. Often I can't run, and every time I see myself jumping off a cliff to wake myself up. To die in a nightmare will be truly redeemed.

Finally, I thought of a scene that pianists still remember, that is, there is a piano in front of the pianist, and Nazis are walking on the street outside the window. In my mind, I thought, maybe only the ideals and feelings in my heart will not die.

    When I saw the title, I thought it was a bloody cult film, but I didn't expect it to be a great religious thriller. There was no straight-forward presentation. With the weird soundtrack, it created a full suspenseful atmosphere. As the story progressed, the evil conspiracy gradually unfolded. , The disturbed heroine and the charming others look very horrifying, is it a relief from insanity or a continuation of the deception? The mystery is not solved until the end. This way of describing cults from the side is more interesting and attractive than bloody piles or possessed exorcism. You must know that this is a 1968 film. And the accent of the movie is very British, and the words are very slow and have a sense of tone.

    The most terrifying thing is that everyone is a devil, always isolated and helpless, with nowhere to run. Leaving aside religion (Polanski, who took the lives of his wife and children for this reason, seems to be Satan's scourge of reality), such as a husband who is too busy with work and neglects his family to be radicalized into a career and sign a contract with the devil to betray his wife, which makes this film even more. Like a psychological mapping of middle-class marriage, it's only in extreme (Satan is extreme for Catholics) form.
