When the devil appeared, he recited a scripture, revealing the wounds of Longinus' spear and the nail holes in his hands, implying that he was a saint. But there is only one saint, and he has died and risen to heaven, so the others must be the devil and take his name in vain. The clergyman's faith was not firm enough. He was surprised when he saw the nail holes in his hands, and he was probably shaken.
The clergy let the devil say that he is not the devil, and he believed it when he said it, which also showed that he was deceived, because only the Holy Word can be believed one by one. Speaking is a very important part of the doctrine, and God created the world by speaking. God said there should be light, and there was light. It can be seen that the doctrine attaches great importance to saying. He allowed the devil to prove his innocence. However, the Holy One has repeatedly proved himself to be the Son of God who came to save all peoples, and only his self-evidence can be fully believed. The clergy gave the devil the same opportunity to be believed, forgetting the uniqueness of the Holy Spirit and the deceitfulness of the devil, and must have been in a trance at the time.
There are probably two possibilities for the appearance of the supernatural phenomenon of righteousness in the doctrine. One is that the prophets borrowed the power of God, such as Moses splitting the Red Sea. The other is that the Holy Trinity, as the Holy Trinity, will directly restore sight to the blind and make the lame walk. The originator of divine power must be God, or the Holy Trinity. Other jumping gods, practices, and fortune-telling use the power of the devil. Of course, there are also stories of many believers in the Catholic Church having supernatural phenomena because of their beliefs, but this does not affect the shamanic beliefs in South Korea, which are labeled as "magic" by the teachings. So no matter whether the dancer is a devil or not, they all use the power of the devil, the dark chakra, and the inner strength of the magic sect, so their rituals are also music + slaughtering chickens and sheep. Speaking of sheep, Abraham wanted to sacrifice his own son to God, and God made a sheep to bear on his behalf, and this sheep became holy, a prophecy that was received on behalf of all peoples. I have seen some pictures of western dark sheep, which are often used to represent hell, devil, etc. I don't know the exact origin. In short, when there is a big dancer in the movie, no matter which side it is facing, the doctrine will feel that it is not good and unclean, and the devil will be black and black. I heard that the movie has deleted a scene in which the god and the devil go home together. Whether it is deleted or not deleted does not affect the doctrine's views on them.
The devil let go of the deer hunter and resigned in the face of the male protagonist's demolition, all to confuse the villagers. Looking at the first half, he really has the feeling of an ascetic that he has experienced on behalf of others. The meaning of imitating the saint in the back is getting stronger and stronger, which means that he is the real villain. The director uses an audience psychology here, that is, there will be a savior in many movies, and some even simulate and approximate the resurrection of the saint, such as Neo and Iron Man. Therefore, when the audience is watching, they will also unconsciously enter it, which enhances the rationality of the fisherman as the savior. But this film is not a Marvel fairy tale, the clergy is present, so the doctrine and the uniqueness of the Holy are also present.
In addition, there are many visual symbols in the film, many of which have become blindfolds. For example, the underwear was worn like this in ancient Japan and South Korea, but it appeared in the movie, which implied that they were a group. In fact, even if they are not in the same group, there is nothing wrong with wearing the same underwear, that is a traditional dress.
A speculation: It is difficult for Japanese people to have a positive image in Korean horror films. Horror movies generally try their best to capture people's unconsciousness to achieve the greatest horror effect, and the negative emotions towards Japan are trained by Korean historical education and are a collective unconscious. A Japanese-style savior in a horror movie might make South Koreans accept incompetence. So the Japanese must be ghosts and not monks. If Japanese monks appear in the future, there must be a more powerful Japanese ghost.
