The plot of the sad Father Thomas cutting off his tongue is quite nonsensical except for adding a little weird atmosphere. Is the scene of him being nailed to the ceiling a bit of a metaphor for Peter being nailed upside down to death? In addition, it turns out that the visual effects of this film are also the one who made "Predator", no wonder this bloody scene reminds me of "Predator" inexplicably.
The hero and heroine can see illusions that others can't see. This setting seems to be purely to set off the atmosphere. Of course, it may also be to make the hero's involvement in the incident seem less far-fetched, but the final effect is a bit counterproductive.
Why can only the Cardinals think of killing the heroine to quell the incident? In fact, this is really a method, and it can even be said to be the method with the least casualties. In the film, through the mouth of an unknown priest, he explained that the devil cannot be stopped by the devil's behavior. Moreover, the performance of the heroine was quite disappointing. From the beginning to the end, she would only stare and look stupid. It didn't make people think that Chu Chu was pitiful to kill her. The hero risking his death to protect her is also a bit inexplicable, just because both of them can see the strange illusion and she has a music box like her own daughter? I think it would be more credible if it were set to be his daughter.
It’s also strange that the heroine won’t resist every time she falls into Satan’s hands. It’s reasonable to make her in a hypnotized state. She has a clear consciousness and is not tied up, but she does not struggle to resist at all. Speechless. She also lost her parents and was tortured by illusions and nightmares since she was a child. Apart from being rich, she lived happily at all. Did she never think about saving the world while suicide ends her pain?
I remember that I once saw that the West values individuals very much. They don’t think that it is correct and acceptable to sacrifice one person and save others. The East is the opposite. At first, I felt that this film conveyed exactly this concept. The hostess was dead, but because she was innocent, she couldn't kill her even if she made a mess of fighting. But the ending is the hero self-sacrificing to save the world, plus many people who died innocently before... I really don't know what to say.
