There is only one word in my mood just after reading it: I am afraid, so I looked for comments to eliminate my fear. I read the debate about who is ghost and who is human, who is Jesus and who is Satan. Almost more than half of the people identified Japanese Demons, no doubt, but I can't agree more.
I think if you start believing in the words of the female ghost, the faith has been beaten to smithereens. The point of this show is not to scare you with a bunch of ghosts, but about belief.
1. Japanese: Good people demonized by prejudice.
First of all, the prejudice against the Japanese is almost a common feature of Koreans. Needless to say, the history of national aggression, for such a small and remote "Gucheng" in South Korea, a Japanese tourist accidentally entered (the Japanese in the dialogue with Zhong Jiu). It seems that the villagers have the characteristic of "aggression", so the word "Japanese pirates" is used repeatedly.
Based on the above facts, I personally think that all the pictures of Japanese people eating animals and writing round eyes are "mind". Rumors spread like this. When the massacre happened in the village, some people said that the Japanese were ghosts. Almost everyone preconceived that the Japanese were ghosts. This created prejudice, and prejudice will distort all the facts you see.
This is the meaning of the dialogue between the Japanese and the little priest at the end of the film: if you don't think it's the devil, why are you afraid? (The video is sublimated here). I would never believe that the Japanese would become demons on the spot, and it was the brokenness of his own belief that broke the little priest, causing him to be swallowed by his own fear.
And the true identity of the Japanese, I thought it was a human being, an exorcist. Because facing Zhong Jiu's questioning, he is calm; facing evil dogs attacking humans, he has pity; facing the death of his beloved dog, he is helpless; facing the pursuit of villagers, he is afraid; when he falls off a cliff, he is in pain... These are not enough proof Is he flesh and blood? People come to the altar set up in the village with the exorcism buff, and take pictures of the deceased to analyze clues like a criminal investigator. In Zhong Jiu's eyes, it is so dazzling and evil (Zhong Jiu has a prejudice against the Japanese after seeing the Japanese masks and erotic pictures. To deepen, the fuse was also a shoe that did not originally belong to the daughter).
2. Daughter Xiaozhen: On the night of the onset of the disease, she did reveal that there was an aunt who always wanted to come in... It can be seen that there is no doubt that the possessor is a female ghost. Why is my daughter's hairpin a bait? When the Japanese were thrown off the cliff by Zhong Jiu, the "bait" was mentioned again, because such a kind father could throw a corpse on the cliff, and annihilated humanity because of hatred. It seems that this "bait" should be those ugly "bait". Humanity'. Looking back at the previous massacre, there was a woman who accompanies the wine to have fun. The reason she was selected should be fornication. It can be deduced from this that the card issued by daughter Xiaozhen may have been stolen. At the end of the film, Zhong Jiu's conversation with the female ghost tried to know the reason for being selected, and the female ghost's words revealed that it was based on suspicion, which seemed to be a discussion about beliefs.
3. Sorcerer's Daylight: A shit stirrer. From the very beginning, I mistakenly recognized the target and mistook the Japanese as demons. At that time, the fighting method was also fighting against the Japanese. And the Japanese were also fighting at that time, with whom? I sorted it out: the Japanese knew that they could not fight against female ghosts, and Pei, who died in a car accident on the road, also knew about the accident that happened in the Zhongjiu family, so he had a clever plan to transfer the ghost attached to the child to Pei. That's why the daughter recovered temporarily and zombies appeared. Later, the Japanese knew that doing so was against the morality of the exorcist, and tried to wash their body and soul with mountain springs.
In order of mana, the female ghost is bigger than Nikko and the Japanese exorcist, so Nikko can beat the Japanese to the point of being exhausted, but in front of the female ghost, she is shitting. When the scourge Xiaozhen was discovered by Sunlight, in order to protect himself, Sunlight's first thought was to escape, but how could he escape Gucheng alive? When his conscience found out, he notified Zhong Jiu and told him to go home immediately. And the female ghost bewitched him to wait for three cock crows. I don't think it's as evil as you said in the scriptures. It's just to delay the time and let the tragedy happen.
The heart-piercing cry of the female ghost was not because Zhong Jiu could go home early to stop her tricks, but at that moment, father's love finally conquered all doubts, beliefs and everything. It was "love" that made the female ghost lose. Yes, possibly.
Looking at it, the female ghost is really vicious, and she will be killed if she disagrees. And the judges were blinded by the various clues that suddenly appeared. Since you have identified the Japanese as a ghost, it seems that he is a ghost throughout the article, and even a female ghost has become a perfection and beauty.
