It's really a very good horror movie, especially when Henry's mother committed suicide with the weird opening of the window, when the wind was blowing and at the end Bob was drowning in the bathtub and Helen's face was flickering, giving people a kind of "this is this" No ghosts are better than ghosts". This movie is better as a horror movie than as a drama, better than 96% horror, better than 68% drama is really scientific.
The male and female protagonists love each other deeply. This kind of love can be experienced from the beginning when the male and female protagonists lie on the bed and ask each other if they are cheating. But the more I look back, the more I feel that this love is too strong, too strong to express, and at a loss. "I can't live without you." I thought it was the male protagonist's psychological problem, until I saw the female protagonist almost got hit by a car with blood dripping from her mouth, wiped the blood from her clothes and continued to walk forward.
Love and possession are the themes of the film, and certainly as one of the most difficult films in the world to decipher, it has many meanings. Sometimes, love to the extreme will lead to death. When I saw the hero and heroine kissing each other's bloody mouths before they died, I felt shocked, not moved (I was too scared to move).
It was Anna's possessiveness and deep love for her husband that made her bewitched by the devil and brought the devil to the world. It was Mark's love for his wife "I can't live without you" that made him condone his wife's crimes, help her destroy her corpse, and finally send him to death. This story about the devil tells us to be wary of your love. Sometimes it's not hate, but love that destroys the good and lets the devil run amok.
The film undoubtedly contains political metaphors. The Berlin Wall with the words "This wall must be demolished" at the beginning, soldiers with binoculars, and the work of the male protagonist (I don't believe him if he is not a special agent or the like, normal people are unlikely to bear it and have the courage and tactics to put the The wounded Henry drowned in the toilet). What specific metaphor is, how to interpret it, I don’t know much about the political situation and history at that time, and I dare not speculate in vain.
Objectively speaking, there are indeed a lot of bloody scenes, which can easily cause physical discomfort. It is strongly recommended not to eat while watching. The brain hole is wide open, the plot subverts common sense, and minors are advised to detour.
