Midnight bell theme

I think the theme of the film is women's fear of incest. A good movie usually has multiple hints. The well where Sadako was buried in the bell at midnight symbolizes the vagina. It was the father who pushed her into the well, which means that the father was also deeply afraid of incest, and even killed his daughter in order to escape. Sadako suddenly split into two people in Zhenxiang Dabai, amitosis? It's nonsense. The reasonable explanation is that Sadako is schizophrenic, and her mother is also schizophrenic, which is hereditary. And Shizuko went mad under the stimulation of Sadako's split, and was forced by the doctor to fail the performance, and she committed suicide after her illness worsened. What caused it? It was this father's incest. Including forcing Shizuko to perform, etc., proves that the doctor does not love the mother and daughter. As for the drug to suppress her growth, it is not necessary in reality, but it implies that the doctor has violated Sadako for a long time, resulting in this violated personality. To grow up, it is also easier to be controlled by the doctor. After Shizuko died, he became even more reckless. In the end, it is ironic to say that in order to prevent Da Zhenzi who was possessed by Xiao Zhenzi from killing her relatives, it is ironic. In fact, Sadako's schizophrenia was cured by her lover's love, so the doctor can't control it. The ability, or his own animal nature to be exposed, was unbearable to him, so he chose to kill Sadako. And Sadako's image is a wet white ghost with hair disheveled, only crawling, and seems to have broken bones, such a ghost is pale and powerless, if it is human, it will make people pitiful, other than intimidation, how to kill? Through the videotape, Sadako presumably made known the cause of her death, causing people to hallucinate and die of despair. The rule is to ask another person to watch the video tape to die within seven days, and the heroine Asai called her ex-husband. It is easy to understand why it is the ex-husband and not the husband. Asai also has the shadow of incest fear in his heart. Although Sadako's remains were buried with the help of her ex-husband, her ex-husband died at the hands of Sadako, suggesting that the fear of incest was only appeased, not eliminated. After Asai learned that her son also watched the tape, the only way to save her son was to find someone to watch the tape for the dead ghost, and Asai's choice was her father.

    Looking at this 98-year-old movie now, I don’t feel as scary as the legend. Apart from the subversive adaptation of the first protagonist’s sexual transformation, the film is completely an account of the main plot of the original. After completely deleting the original science fiction elements, Sadako is completely reduced to a headless, brainless, story-free, strange power and chaotic stream. Saying that our Sadako is a blue boy with a complicated personality and a deep appearance!

    1. Looking at it now, it's really not too scary. After all, the same technique has been abused by future generations. 2. Matsushima Nanako is so beautiful, she doesn't wear pink, and her neutral dress makes me feel like a uniform temptation from beginning to end. 3. Rip a copy of the videotape and show it to others to get rid of the curse. Then, if it is posted on the Internet and the seed is named Lola Takizawa, will it be more effective if it is shared in the grass? Then Sadako will be busy to death.
