Is dead better than alive?

My sister used to raise a stray dog. When he first picked it up, he was about four or five years old. It seemed to be still sick, but he slowly cured it. I don't know how long the dog's normal life span is, but in my impression, it seems to have lived for nearly ten years in her family. When I saw it for the last time, it was obviously an old dog. When I heard a guest came in, he would not jump up and run over to smell it, but just looked up lazily. Later it disappeared, and the aunt said that she knew she was about to die, so she ran out to find her cemetery.
Animals seem to have a talent for predicting the time of their death. Elephant mounds are said to have never been seen before, and there are countless ivory piles in them. I don’t know if all pets can also run out to find their cemetery at the end of the day, but if that’s the case, it’s not bad. The owner can remember the last time he saw it but never have to face its corpse. , So I can comfort myself that it just ran away and not died-of course, I mean those owners who are more vulnerable to death.
The first time I read [Pet Cemetery]'s novel, I didn't get a big impact, although I personally think that the appeal of words is much stronger than that of audio and video. Some people say that this is Stephen King's most horrible work. I don't feel that way. What does this book say? Human beings cannot endure the pain of death, and hope that the dead can come back to life and will not hesitate to reverse the most basic laws of nature?

The Chinese translation of the pet cemetery is forbidden to enter the cemetery. The film is more than 100 minutes, and the beginning is very emotional. Large and small tombstones and crosses are scattered in the dilapidated graveyard, and the inscriptions on them seem to be clearly written by children. "Goodbye old dog, see you in heaven." "My cat is sleeping here, and it doesn't scream anymore. It lived for five months and twenty days and cost me fifty dollars." "Sports , The best dog, we love you." When the camera moves, there is a child’s voice reciting the words on the tombstone. The background is very low music and the vague prayers of many children, and then the prayer gradually disappears and turns into that with the music. A whistling sound of singing. There are some very detailed things in the cemetery, such as decayed bird cages and fluffy dog ​​toys (I guess there will be dog chews and the like). The book said that this cemetery belonged to the children in the town at that time. Not all adults knew it, but every child knew that they would weed the cemetery every year. For children, the death of a pet may be their first contact with the most helpless thing in the world. They may not understand it, but they have to accept it.
I think if Zade didn't take the family of four to visit the cemetery, things would be better afterwards. I am not in favor of letting children know some truth too early—in fact, the best way is to let them discover the truth on their own, rather than to artificially force it into their minds. I have always disliked children, a large part of the reason is that they have their own unique world, the so-called world that adults cannot understand and cannot enter. Of course I am not saying that this is bad, but because of the existence of this world, they cannot understand and accept certain concepts brought to them by adults. So this creates a very strange OTL circle: Adults tell them some facts in the name of "I am for your good", while they say "Have you ever thought about my feelings? I don't need you for me." "Good" reasons to sneer at these facts. It wasn't until they became adults themselves and started to treat other children under the name "I am for your good."
So I don’t have much patience with children. If it’s nothing to do with me, then I don’t need to "be good for him", which means I am a person who is unwilling to take responsibility-let him slowly understand certain things. The truth.
Such as death. Why do people, or children, keep pets? Maybe it's because it can alleviate their loneliness, maybe they feel that it gives them some dignity-in the adult world. Most children see them as their friends and not just toys, so how do they face the death of their friends? Generally speaking, pets like cats and dogs can accompany them for ten years, and less than ten years if all uncertain factors are included. How old must children grow to understand and accept their death? If they don't have an elderly grandparent, then maybe the first time they come into contact with death in their lives is the death of a pet that gets along with each other day and night. So I don't agree to get a pet for a child when he is too young-wait until he grows up to take care of them by himself, so that when they die, they will have enough psychological endurance.
The pet cemetery in the movie does not have the ability to bring dead pets back to life. So although the children will be sad, they are just sad. If they did not go to the pet cemetery, then maybe the death of the kitten would not make Ellie too sad. Sometimes death is not so terrible. What's terrible is the process of knowing that you will die and then waiting for death. (Is the so-called generosity easy to die, but calm to righteousness difficult?)
Zade took Louis to the back of the pet cemetery, which is said to be an Indian cemetery. This is a kind old man, he knows when he can give it a try without getting trapped by possible trouble. But his problem is that he overestimated his neighbor’s ability to control the field...Louis belongs to the kind of personality that drinks poison to quench his thirst and even breaks the jar. Looking back at everything he has done, emotionally speaking, he can be easily taken every step of the way. Understand, but intellectually speaking, every step is not good. After witnessing the cat's death and coming back to life, he asked Zade, has anyone buried the dead there? Zade’s reaction was actually very interesting. He knocked over the beer bottle in shock, and then hurriedly concealed that no, how could anyone do that.
The cover is very decent-to say the least, the actor's grasp is very good. If you haven't seen the original work, then you can believe that his overreaction was really frightened by this thought that he had never thought of. The cover-up was decent, but Louis still had doubts.
Gage died next. That scene was quite shocking, and Louis leaped forward as he rushed over—if this is a Superman or Batman movie, then he must have succeeded—catch an empty space, the child wanders onto the road, and A heavy truck like a hill came swiftly. The brake was stepped to the bottom, and then the car overturned. This section makes me very uncomfortable.
While watching the film review, a hero left a message saying that there are more people living next to the national highway, and he has never seen such a thing. The driver is not responsible. It is completely the fault of the parents. How can such a small child walk so close to the highway?
To be right, the driver is indeed totally unaccountable. If he wants to be held accountable, he should ask the government why he did not add guardrails on the side of the highway. ——The problem is that this dear fellow didn't say anything at all. What this film is about is not paying attention to traffic safety.
It had already happened, and the distraught Louis made a terrible decision. Zad noticed his thoughts, weighed it, and explained the precedents that had happened. The deceased came back to life and staggered back to his old home. There was no positive description of what happened in that home. Only a group of neighbors were horrified and brought gasoline to burn the house. The reason was that the person who came back was the devil. There was a scream in the house as the fire blazed into the sky. The father was covered in blood-it can be concluded that it was his son's masterpiece-and kept pushing the son who had become a demon, saying "Run away", and the son repeatedly pressed his father until it was burned. Yelling sharply on the sofa.
He shouted: Dad, I don't want to live at all...
Another film comment left by the audience is that the dead will go to heaven, and the souls who can return to the world must be unacceptable and sinful.
Perhaps this is indeed the case, whether it is a kitten or a person, the return of the dead is nothing more than resurrecting the soul. The appearance is still the same, the inside has changed, and it has become another strange and terrible thing. Reason, warmth, none of this makes any sense to them. Louis might not understand this truth. After all, he saw the changes in kittens, but he still dug up his son's grave in the middle of the night. But it seems there is no way to criticize his actions.
When I make a hideous expression with an innocent face, it is one of the scenes I hate and fear the most. He doesn't necessarily understand what he is doing, so he will often cause the bloodiest and most vicious results. The segment of the scalpel across my mouth caused me to drop the headset to the ground. = =#

Then the situation became uncontrollable, Lei Swing rushed back from Chicago, but did not see her husband and died under the hands of the devil in his son's skin. When I saw this passage, I was actually quite indignant. What Louis did is hard to accept, but at least it can be understood. But since you know how the resurrected dead may change, why go to sleep? Your guarantee is that if Gage changes, I will let Leiqiu continue to sleep before he comes back. They won't know what I have done. The fact is...you ran to bed and fell asleep without taking off your shoes after returning from the graveyard, even if he took your scalpel away.
But... Forget it, I also know how lethal physical exhaustion is. Every morning I swear to get up at 6:30, but I always close my eyes after pressing the alarm clock... Well, I can understand you at this point.
I said that he broke the jar. After witnessing all the consequences, he resolutely burned Zade’s house and the two corpses inside-Zade and Gage's-together, and then hugged Leiqiu. The body... went to the cemetery again! The ghost named Pasco tried to dissuade him for the last time, but he still passed through his body, and replied: Gage was too late last time. This time Leiqiu just died. It must be okay. successful.
I don't know if he understands it or not, but I guess he will have to try it even if he understands and is sure what the outcome will be. What if he doesn't try, can he tell his daughter who is still in Chicago, "Your brother is back, kill your mother, kill your neighbor, and then I kill him again"? Look, even the last step he did can be understood...I'm very orz, this man makes sense from beginning to end, but just step by step into the abyss like this. Neither the neighbors’ lessons nor the ghost’s good advice could stop him. Therefore, it seems that the root of the problem is that Zade shouldn't take them to the pet cemetery for sightseeing-why are you so concerned about the growth and education of children! ?

Pasco is a very interesting person... a ghost. His scenes have a lot more loving details than the original, such as the sentence Leiqiu said when he rented a car, "Where is the scratched car?" And when Leiqiu got home, he sat in the cab and said "This is also my bottom line." The person he spoke to could not see him, nor could he hear his words, but those words were probably used as Tianyin (?) to convey the information they needed. As Ally said, this is a good ghost. He has always wanted to help the Louis family, but the trouble is that this ghost has no control ability... If he can be a little slower, at least Leiqiu needn't die ==#原作
里In the end, Louis waited at home alone, and then put a hand on his shoulder, Lei Qiu vaguely said behind him: "Honey." What happened after that, you can imagine for yourself. In the movie, he and Lei Qiu, whose bloody eyeballs were about to fall out of their eye sockets, gave a kiss, and then the woman (female ghost?) held a kitchen knife with one hand and waved violently. , A scream, the whole play ended. Which plot is better is self-evident.
Stephen King's works rarely seduce people to think deeply, he just wants to tell a shocking story. I was thinking, if I couldn't accept death at the time and happened to know that there was a piece of land that could resurrect the dead in an unknown state, would I try it? Even if I am sure that I have the ability to control the field, can I personally return the thing that can be called life back to the dead world?
This is a terrible idea. And almost all the terrible things in the world come from the "unknown".
