Very recommended! ! Welcome people of this kind to taste~ I have
seen a lot of horror science fiction detective films, but for the "witchcraft" category, I really experience it for the first time, maybe because I am also atheist, generally like to watch "non- "The horror of pretending to be a ghost. So I didn’t "think about it". I saw what the predecessors said and the plot was reversed. I just thought that the worst case was that the old lady wanted to kill the heroine to continue the old man's life. Until the final "sacrifice" was completed, the heroine lit a cigarette, she complained to the young lawyer, and now one is more difficult to fix...I was terrified, my God, they are almost vampire couple in the wizarding world. Wow~~
say something The summary standing on the shoulders of the predecessors and my personal views:
1. Believe or not believe that
the heroine finally succeeded in exchanging the soul with Sicily, is it because she finally believed in witchcraft? Although she shouted "I don't believe", why didn't she jump out of the circle at the last moment?
The answer is: whether the heroine and others believe it or not, this "sacrifice witchcraft" and even other witchcraft (including red brick powder) exist, just like the last sentence of the heroine's phone line before being unplugged. it's all real" (at 1:28:30 in the movie). In other words, once she used the four kinds of materials to set up the formation using the method recorded on that page, the exchange of souls between her and the old lady would be a certainty. It is estimated that it is not that she does not want to jump out, but that she can't help it. What the old lady said, you believe it will happen, is a lie to her. Didn’t politics say that objective existence is not shifted by subjective will, haha.
So why did the old man and the old lady find a white man who doesn't believe in witchcraft? Because black people generally believe in, or in other words, those who do not believe are also afraid of this mysterious power, so they generally choose to stay away, so the previous applicants are afraid to leave. It's a bit off topic, and then I say what the heroine believes in the end.
She is gradually discovering that this type of witchcraft is not just a deception, it seems to be useful to their believers. And she finally found out that she had become a candidate for the "sacrifice" (but she didn't know what was going on). The old lady deliberately showed her how to use "protection". At the last moment, she wanted to restore her body in her own way, and drew a "protection" formation to try to prevent believers from invading. But as everyone knows, everything is a trap carefully laid by the old man and the old lady. In order to make the victims cooperate, they deceived them to sacrifice the formation as "protection protection." "Sacrifice" finally requires her to enter the white circle by herself and also use her own blood. If this kind of trap is not used, the average young person cannot be at the mercy of her. Therefore, until the soul is reversed, the heroine is unwilling to believe, or reluctant to admit the practicability of witchcraft, or that it is the psychological function of the believer. So she still shouted "I don't believe it".
2. How many lives did they "sacrifice"?
There is nothing to argue about. The earliest black couples-white kids siblings-couples who bought real estate (that is, the body of the old man and old lady in the film)-male lawyer and female
lead have a few clues. The picture in the frame shows the young white couple. It looks like a black couple and children siblings fell out from behind. The story told by the old lady also said that in 1960 the brothers and sisters were struggling so they sold the house to young couples. The lawyer said that the old man who sold the house suffered a stroke and then died. Finally, after successfully changing the soul, the lawyer praised that his wife was more beautiful this time than the first two.
(I have also had concerns about how they spent their lives when they possessed brothers and sisters... Did they want to incest and have children, or were they really used to the DINK clan...)
3. What's the matter with the mirror? ? Can you usually see the devil?
I think no. The pictures of the two of them were very happy in the end. There should be two reasons why all the mirrors in the room were taken off. 1. In order to adjust the formation of souls, they were prepared in the attic in advance, and the final removal of the province was suspicious. 2. In order not to let the old man whose soul is changed see his current appearance and cause trouble.
So what is the shadow in the mirror entering the female master’s bedroom? In fact, the old lady came in to cast a spell and cut her hair (actually, all materials were prepared for the final formation...)
4. Is the red clay effective?
Yes, my idea is the same as that of some predecessors, which is to restrict the enemy's actions. Otherwise, when the male protagonist is chasing the female protagonist with a gun, he can enter her room to catch her. The final entry of the old lady took place at the fracture where the heroine dumped the red clay. And later both of them entered the attic by elevator.
5. The role of the old woman selling discs
is to set the stage. When the hostess asked her, "Have you heard of a sacrifice, I have", the old woman was scared to death and said it was impossible. You can't say anything Come out, because it is used to "extend life" and can inherit the remaining life of the victim. And she said that only the Sicilian couple knew about the operation, but they were burned to death before it was implemented, so it was lost. The side shows that "sacrifice witchcraft" is probably true (at this time, the lawyers are actually listening to me, I don’t know if I am snickering in my heart.)
6.
Watch the scene of the male lawyer and the old lady for the second time, yes I can see that they are indeed an ambiguous duo. For example, the first time I saw the heroine, the old lady complained that the candidate was not ideal. The lawyer said that it is too difficult to find people now. The old lady was jealous when I was bumped into being alone with the heroine. The lawyer said that you are the only person I love. and many more. Later, because of the brand-new lawyer's primer on the table and the secret photos of the female protagonist, the clue was discovered by the female protagonist. So it was indeed possible that he was the one who pretended to be a fool at the beginning. But I don’t think he was discovered by the hostess deliberately. Maybe he wanted to pretend to be righteous and accompany the hostess back to the manor.
7. The scene of the male lawyer and the old man.
At the beginning of the introduction of the heroine and the old woman, you can see that the old man's wheelchair is facing the hero, presumably to prevent the lawyer who reversed his body from seeing his original. Face. There was no scene of the two meeting again. Didn’t they have a good relationship before?
8. Why doesn't the old man speak or write to the heroine?
He has been given drugs and cursed until the hostess secretly stopped him. And the time when the heroine learned to solve the curse, although it was a little effective, she was interrupted by thunder and the old lady before she finished it.
9. At the end, flaws in translation
I don't think they finally fell in love with the black roommate Jill. Because obviously, they didn’t know her, and the old lady who was finally changed body was pushed into an ambulance and left. Sicily said to Jill: “The old lady needs care. I should go to the hospital to take care of her. If you don’t If you mind, I will leave, see you later" (someone should go to the hospital with her, maybe, Jill, would you mind...? we'll meet you... Jill: Of course, if you need.) instead of calling Jill Go to the hospital, otherwise, wouldn’t it be equivalent to letting them be alone? What to do when the informant is finally informed, and the hostess physically acts as a nursing staff, plus the need to feed her to drink the white liquid poison, she must follow to the hospital.
10. Finally, face the photo of the Sicilian couple and the person wearing the ring.
In fact, there is no name. Many people say that it is Jill, but in fact, his hands are not black, because the skin is too light and there are light-colored hairs. Compare it with the photo of Sicily found in the attic before. Although Sicily loves the black body, if she transforms, what will her husband do, and there is no background check on Jill. It is also unclear whether her parents and friends are healthy, and it is not that easy to deal with the "funeral." But it doesn't seem to be the hands of the female protagonist. Maybe just want to express the endless change...
