See the devil

The sufferings in this world are so heavy. Behind every irreversible sad story is unspeakable suffering. In addition to religious confession and forgiveness, sometimes we need to seek liberation beyond common sense.
Just like the premeditated ceremony in "A Feast of Revenge".
Fall into another world that has never been in contact with, devote yourself in a fanatical way to break with the past with another attitude. Even if it is not a cult who seeks money and kills, we will always encounter friends who are suddenly different from each other in our lives. : Some give up their generous job in the city and go to remote areas to volunteer or support education, some are fascinated by ancient and mysterious religions, one sentence on the left is reincarnation, and the other sentence on the right is benevolent. ...
Maybe because these pains and desires are too strong, the result of the mutation under the gorgeous appearance is actually far more desperate than the catastrophe of impermanence itself.
It is undeniable that the first part of "A Feast of Revenge" is too procrastinated. In order to create an atmosphere, the rhythm is deliberately slow, but there are no distinct images of many characters. In the end, the killings that are reduced to sacrifices unfold, tear off the mask, and ultimately rely on the most primitive methods to destroy It can be solved. Just like the hero who killed the coyote inadvertently at the beginning of the film, what kind of religion is our good friend to comfort the soul? I am afraid that this answer is not a real answer except for the application of the framework formed by traditional values. In the end, the red lanterns lit up all over the mountains, the wailing sound of police cars, and the flickering in the dark are not the direction lights, but the declaring lambs. The celebration that was slaughtered, the panic that formed at this moment, is probably what the director wants to tell us the most.
Sometimes we are not selected by the demons, but we ourselves are calling them to possess.
