It’s just that the ending is so bad, I actually want to give 2.5 points

I think this movie is not that bad at first, and the second thing that disappoints me is not the plot, the scene, or the actors (actually I think these are all good), but maybe the final politically incorrect ending. There are also movies in which the protagonist finally dies, BadEnding, but there is really not much of a sudden turnaround in the 5-minute plot like a pagan. Moreover, the positioning of this movie looks more like a heroism rather than a literary drama. This kind of protagonist kindly saves the world all the way. It seems difficult and difficult to overcome all obstacles to the end. The ending is set to be easily killed by the Dark Lord. Accept it can't. Most of the movies with similar endings that I have watched are mostly designed with the protagonist at the end, if there is a god-assisted escape from the island, although the devil is still alive, the protagonist is not dead. In the tens of minutes after the final ending was fully explained, I once felt that maybe the director wanted to do this, but unfortunately not.
Nicholas Cage’s acting skills are still very standard, and the suspenseful design of the movie atmosphere is also in place. From the ending, it can be felt that the screenwriter did not want to come up with a design of mental illness that everyone has seen badly, but the final shot was too scribble, as if it was because For reasons such as rushing to work, it is far from the normal level of the first half of the movie. It is a pity that the ending is set to have a good start but not come back.

The Wicker Man quotes

  • Sister Rose: Mr. Malus, no one is lying to you. I told you that if Rowan Woodward existed, we would know of her.

    Edward Malus: If she existed? If?

    Sister Rose: But you cannot come barging into our...

    Edward Malus: I just saw that she existed with my own two eyes. And I suppose her mother is lying to me, too, huh? She's lying?

    Sister Rose: Not lying, no. Grieving. We all are.

    Edward Malus: Wait, wait, wait, wait. When you say that she's grieving, you mean that Rowan is... dead?

    Sister Rose: You would say so, yes.

    Edward Malus: She's dead or she isn't.

    Sister Rose: We never use that word here.

    Edward Malus: [sarcastic] No, that'd be too quixotic.

    Sister Rose: Yes.

  • Sister Rose: [Malus interrupts her school lesson] I was unaware any of my girls needed arresting.

    Edward Malus: They don't, no. I'm just up here to find a missing girl whom people are pretending doesn't exist.

    Sister Rose: How quixotic of you.

    Edward Malus: Quixotic?

    Sister Rose: From "Don Quixote"; pursuer of lofty but impractical ideals.
