, I watched the original film intermittently in the English class of American high school, and I watched about half of it, but I didn't understand anything. Can't help but find the subtitled version. In Youku, after reading it in one go, I think it's worth 5 yuan for the last half hour.
God, demons, and witches mess up. For me who was atheist since I was a child, it is simply incomprehensible. Then, the development of this story may be related to the ignorance of people at that time. More is a moral trial.
The girl began to pray because she yearned for the attention of the boys, but after she was found dancing in the woods, she used a demon to justify herself. Just like in today's society, mental problems are used to escape legal sanctions. The girls patched up another lie with one lie. The innocent child becomes a tool of murder created by the devil through the hand of God. Lies accumulate more and more, a net is getting tighter and more people are involved in it, no one can escape, even girls. One road, you can only go to the end once you have stepped on it.
Girls use the devil to excuse themselves, and those who want to use the devil to seek property for themselves. From the point of view of bystanders, the phrase "good is rewarded for good and evil is rewarded for evil is simply a joke." Like John said, God is dead. He will not bring justice to people, he has become a knife in the hands of the devil, killing his own people little by little.
Plead guilty, or die. Different people have different choices. Perhaps there are times when it is more important to live than everything else, and sometimes there are times when honesty and kindness are more valuable than life. This was vividly and exquisitely reflected when John signed the confession. God he has taken my soul, please leave my only name to me. Lie, sign a confession, sorry to John himself, sorry to all the people who died unyieldingly before. But signing a confession can restore a free life and live happily with his wife and children. This is a difficult choice. Signing the confession, John survived and was tortured in his heart. If the confession is made public, John and his family will be ridiculed by the outside world. Maybe sometimes it can only be done by death.
People who are clearly considered to be demons and should be put to death will recite the Bible before dying bravely. Children who are considered to be the hand of God steal money and jump off by boat. I have to say that this is a great irony.
But with regard to the struggle for human nature, it is true that the wise see wisdom, and the benevolent see benevolence. But what kind of path you choose will not give you the opportunity to go back, just like Hale, who desires to change but is powerless.
