Evil is the lack of good

I read it once when I was in high school. At that time, I only thought it was horrible. I had nightmares with strong visual impact. A little bit of province forgot or came out big.

First Anna betrayed herself to the devil, and then Mark betrayed herself to Anna. They all cheated, lied, and were all lonely and bruised. Anna herself has a very "women's strong" setting. She said that she read from the book that life is a stage, but she has always hidden most of herself to perform. She loves her husband and children, but longs for complete domination and freedom. Let the devil take advantage. The movie is talking about her wanting to make a deal with the devil but going against her own conscience (? Can't think of a good word...), which is what she calls the two sisters "Loyalty" and "Affair", "My loyalty cannot be Completely remove the affair but the affair shows that I am not faithful."

Anna is obsessed with the devil, while Mark and Henry are obsessed with Anna, and Helen is obsessed with Mark. The devil has become the perfect Mark that Anna wants. You can see that at the end, a new Mark appears. Without Mark's jagged teeth and dark green eyes, if the cheating object is the husband himself, then the affair can be loyal. The two sisters coexist peacefully.

The most distressed is the child Bob. The parents are really selfish, and in the end they should be self-indulgent. Maybe Helen realized her stupidity when she stood in the doorway....

There has always been a question when Mark went to bring his son to Helen's house, Helen said to Mark can you promise me one thing? what's the matter

The author buried a foreshadowing at the beginning of the film: 4 people from government agencies were talking to Mark about resignation, and the bald man smiled and asked if there are any more questions? the man on the far right said

Does that person still wear pink socks all the time?

Mark jumped down the stairs, the bald head took off a shoe and shook it as he went up the stairs, revealing too dazzling pink socks...

Does this mean that Mark is infernal? The war was brought about by this bald man with Mark? (guessing)

Some of the dialogues in the play are interesting:

one

"Henry: There's nothing to fear except God, no matter how you understand it. Mark: God is sickness to me. Henry: So we can approach God through sickness."

two

"Henry said to Helen: I don't like women. They have no vision. They are emotionally unstable. They are dangerous creatures. Helen replied: Women don't have much in common except menstruation

I'm from a place where devils are easily recognizable because they hide in some body and then incarnate so I know the danger of being eroded by it That doesn't mean I like it But I am saddened that you think women have stained the world. Henry: I didn't say I didn't stain the world. Helen: Because you never felt freedom, did you? It's a pity you seem to think that freedom is a sin so there's no freedom anymore? Henry: It's really enlightening. (Different interpretations of translation will be different)

After that they went to bed and then they undressed and lay on the bed

three

After Henry sent the child to school, someone from the detective company came to him and told him that the first detective was missing, asked him to give him the address he found and asked him why he didn't go over or call "Henry: yes I used to think maybe I still do but it was a totally blind desire, (holds the detective's hand) You know what? I don't feel that desire now."

I don't know if I'm thinking too much or it's really just a literal feeling? Love is gone, only possessiveness left?

Four

In the process of arguing with Mark, Anna shouted Jesus! Jesus, Jesus, Jesus...

Calling Jesus out of someone who deals with the devil is so evocative

The following poem is quoted from "Life Quarterly" and eaten with a movie for a different flavor:

one

Evil is the lack of good

Sin is the target of mischief

Where the light of God cannot reach

is the devil's home

nice when you

standing in the sun, you

cast a shadow

When I—your me, my me, his me

Flesh me, wise me, fame and fortune me

occupied my mind, I

blocked the glory of God

When people turn their backs on God and indulge in

in my shadow

The world fell into

In the power of the devil

desert under scorching sun

Can't find cool

A fainting mole

I want to hide myself

it pounces

the shadows are gone

stand up

wave to it again

how many round trips

its exhausted

die in your own shadow

The popular life

Design by the devil

Everyone wears fire clothes chasing their shadow

gain and lose

like loss and sensationalism

until you fall to the ground

in pure darkness

The devil's laughter

The temptation and torture of the devil

always through your persistent me

My shadow falls short of the glory of God

The devil haunts it
