The director is very good, the audience is confused

?I feel that this film is essentially about the ridiculousness of human beings. The Bible is quoted at the beginning. In fact, the only character related to the Bible in the whole film is the apostle. In fact, Dad is a forced believer, or he will not hesitate whether to listen to the words of the sun and go home, or listen to the female ghost and wait for three roosters. Don't worry about this, the important thing is that the director made such a film with a high level of skill, and laughed at the fact that God blesses people and people fear God. In the end, there was no god to exorcise the demon, let alone a devout believer, even the apostle, who just asked the demon to say what he was, but he couldn't judge by himself. We can't understand normality. After all, Koreans are more pro-American, so their belief in Christianity has more say than us.

Friends who often watch European and American movies should have some understanding. After all, many times people worship Satan not because they are not religious enough, but because what Christ Jesus gave is not Satan. Christ Jesus is a process of sublimation, just like the end of the film, if If you really believe in it, even if you lose it, it will not be empty, and most people, especially those who have no faith like Dad, are often the most easily deceived, so the ending seems so pale and the devil succeeds.

And Nikko is not so much a follower of a demon, but rather an unknown magician. He is not a demon or a god, he is a parasite, parasitic among human beings, and uses human beliefs as a bargaining chip to achieve his own goals. Nibble, after all, he also knows that it is too easy for the devil to deal with him.

The translation may be more understandable, Chinese gods and demons, Chinese gods are much better than Jesus? Movies and TV dramas, ancient legends, Chinese gods are helpful, and they will show up to help those who pray for blessings, while there are a lot of fucks in the West. At critical moments, you can rely on faith and support yourself. It seems that Chinese gods are more reliable. But in depth, the Chinese gods are not helping you, but domesticating you. Gods represent the ruling class and are higher than ordinary people. In other words, powerful people are comparable to the existence of gods, and they can help you save your life from danger. , to solve problems, but the price is that you have to worship with all your heart, pay attention, it is to worship the gods, and the Chinese gods have to pay back their vows. This process is essentially a transaction and rule. And the gods of the West want your own ability, and what you want is your faith and strength.

Going back to this movie, the final result is that the police father lost himself, and the female ghost also lost the opportunity to treat others.

    The whole film is rich in details, and various clues guide you to follow the plot to guess who is the ghost and who is the human, who is the devil and who is the angel who saves the villagers, but keeps reversing and reversing, until the end puts people into guessing Guessing that the eighteen layers of hell will never end, the chill will be bone-chilling. In the end, not only do you doubt your IQ, but your whole person is square! As expected of Luo Hongzhen, the master of evil spirits, at the end of the night, he went to the toilet with his back molars.

    4 Korean movies have made murder suspense and crime-solving films into genres, but on this basis, they can also carry forward the exorcism and evil spirit fighting methods. It is really a sigh that this is a mashup of Hong Kong movies and has been learned by others. The mid-stage fighting and the ending are two parallel clips that are breathtakingly exciting, and the rest of the game is almost unremarkable. The only disadvantage is probably that there are too many elements and types, and the story is not straight enough.
