A few simple sentences-is it an evil spirit? no?

At the end of the movie, a giant beast grabbed Emily by the hand, and Emily struggled to escape. Since then, I got rid of the inner trauma of the lack of maternal love. A girl is not a demon, but just "a child who is unstable and liars, but a child who is unstable and liar is not a demon." The child is a response to family problems, "but not every family knows their own problems. ". Solving family problems requires adults to do it, not just by speaking out, like what Emily did when she was a volunteer, it needs to be done by herself. So Emily took the girl home and found that the child's problem was really serious, and she started to be overwhelmed. What's even more frightening is that her intuition that "everything depends on intuition" is often correct. He can discover the hidden fear in people's hearts-Doug, and he can also discover the long-term trauma of adults-Emily. The child is the person in the family who discovers and responds to family trauma. Emily was also a problem child. The girl's appearance seduced her long-term trauma. And confronting these things is like sinking into hell, and fear keeps coming. Of course, I know that this is an entertainment thriller. The logic of the movie should provide people with multiple interpretations that people can choose, and provide it to people from different angles. I believe this is what the director knows and can be done by mature commercial films. After returning, Emily found that self-help was more urgent than saving the girl, so she just tried every means to get rid of it. Just like her parents did, it is conceivable that the girl’s parents’ family problems must also be reflected by the girl. So to what extent should adults save a child? The survival instinct will make them give up and substitute "she is an evil spirit" for peace of mind. This is true for biological parents, let alone Emily? But what children want is just "like what you want from your mother, love me", and they can't choose to accept all the good and bad things around them because of their personal circumstances, like a sponge, rather than if the adult has a hard and weak adsorption capacity . In the latter part, the girl has completely become the incarnation of the evil spirit, and the ending is abandoned as a symbol of Emily's freedom from her own fear. But I was wondering if she rescued the girl from the water and turned a blind eye to her blue face and fangs, would both of them be saved. Of course, commercial thrillers are not shot like this.

Finally, I would like to say that it is never a matter of parents not loving their children, but not loving enough. If parents can face up to their lack of love for their children, they can face up to the fact that they have not received enough love. If children can accept the fact that their parents are not loving enough, they can treat them with a compassionate heart, and thus get a kind of equality. Both can be cured.
