The curse of a crying woman I went to this movie under the labels of "Himming Universe" and "Wen Ziren". After watching it, I realized that Wen Ziren is only a producer and not a director. Although the rationality and meticulousness of the plot are incomparable with the latent soul-seeking, But I personally feel that the level of fright is pretty good. Friends who like jump scare can go to see it! I was so scared that I scolded my mother several times. . The image of a female ghost is too ridiculous. .
This article is not about the story of the movie, but the background of the story, so friends who have never watched the movie can also come in and watch it!
Okay, let's get to the point. .
The meaning of "La Llorona" in English translates to "the wailing woman", which means "the crying woman." The image circulated in Mexico is roughly the same as the image of the female ghost in the film. She is also wearing a white skirt, who specializes in catching children and putting them on They drowned.
Yurona's rumors say that the passage of time is also varied and there is no accurate version.
I have integrated various versions circulated by the people and some Mexican historical documents. I think the logically reasonable story is probably like this (personal opinion does not involve any racial civilization politics)
It happened in Latin America at the end of the 19th century. At that time, a native Indian woman named Maria fell in love with a Spanish colonizer, married and had children, but later her husband was considered to be the supremacy of white people and native Indians because of social status. It is synonymous with despicableness) marrying a white woman from European colonization and abandoning Maria and taking away her son. In order to prevent her husband from succeeding, Maria, who lost her mind, drowned her two sons. After she became sober, she regretted it and finally committed suicide by jumping into the river with resentment. After committing suicide, Maria still missed her two drowned sons and wanted to take the children with her. So she wandered around the world looking for her children, but she had been swallowed by hatred and lost her humanity, so she would catch other people everywhere. Child. After Maria died, someone could hear Maria's crying, and gradually everyone called her Eurona, which means a crying woman.
I have also seen some people say that there is another version of this story. After Mary died, she became a ghost and killed her husband and cut off her genitals. Then because she was already an evil spirit, she couldn't stop killing men and cut off her genitals. . On foreign websites, you can find some documents, the script made up with Yurona as the background of the story, it is also that Yurona will chase some men who have cheated in marriage. . So any version of a story spread to the folks can be produced, but the core background of this movie is the version above.
The story of the crying woman actually reflects a social phenomenon at the time. When Spain colonized Latin America, due to the scarcity of women, most colonists chose to combine with the native Indians and gave birth to mixed children. This is also the origin of the Mexican nation. The Indian woman who was used as a breeding tool and then abandoned was not just Maria. Yurona is the collective name for this type of woman. Some people say that "Yurona's tears" gave birth to the later Mexican nation.
The rumors of Yurona have had a wide impact on Latin America. Many people claimed to have heard Yurona crying, or saw Yurona's figure by the riverside, and some even claimed to have been attacked by Yurona as a child.
The following are the murders related to the rumored Yurona that occurred in 1987:
There is a report in the lower left corner of the newspaper "Mother Sentenced in Deaths", which records the case of a woman named Juana Leija who was accused of throwing six of her seven children into the river , Two of them drowned, and the remaining four were rescued by neighbors who rushed to hear the sound. When Leia faced allegations of murder and attempted murder, she had no objection, so she was sentenced to 10 years of probation and was sent to a psychiatric hospital because everyone thought she had a mental problem to do these things. And she herself said that she was Yurona, doing this for the good of her children, because the world is too sinister, and only death is the best choice for her children. So some people think that Leia was possessed by Yurona's ghost.
After reading the background of these stories, I feel more and more that Yurona is really a poor woman, hatred and anger swallowed her soul, in other words, her resentment led to the demons of hell and turned her into evil spirits. Finally buried himself. If Yurona could turn grief and anger into strength at the time, maybe the Yurona we hear now is a goddess full of positive energy!
So the educational significance of this film is
Be yourself, abandon your wife si and the whole family, Keke!
