The views in this article are the same as those in the previous one, but some details have been added so that the audience can more intuitively understand the metaphor.
In fact, the quote from the beginning of the movie is the answer: "Evil is so stubborn, but it speaks the truth."-Rafael Hopkins
Just imagine, why do evil things say truth? Its purpose is to disguise or seduce, which means "wolf in sheep's clothing". This is easy to understand. The so-called wolves in the movie are not real wolves, but two perverts with wolf nature and taking pleasure in killing. They live in the crowd and pretend to be very good. Applying this point of view to rewatch this movie, you will find a lot of interesting things. For example, the heroine said to a black writer, there is a paragraph about the color of the sky, including the ending statement that you now finally know the color of the sky. The metaphor refers to darkness everywhere, they are hidden by your side, but you can't see them. There is also the wolf mask of the male protagonist, which reversely reflects the true attribute of the male protagonist.
Explained in religious terms, the wolf in the movie is a devil in human skin, or a wolf spirit. Only the witch knows the truth and knows who killed the children in the village. Many details support this statement. For example, the male protagonist joins the army because he likes to kill, induces others to commit crimes, and transmits the crime to strangers, friends and future generations. The woman and Qi Yang are the people who were tempted by the devil to commit a crime and fall into the abyss of darkness.
The best explanation for the purpose of women killing their own children is to use the words of black writers: "Sometimes, when resources are scarce, wolves will eat their younger kind in order to keep the whole group." Women cannot control the darkness in their hearts. In order to release the darkness, the child is forced to kill, the purpose is to prevent oneself or the male protagonist from killing others. This method of fighting poison with poison is similar to chemotherapy. At the same time she is also protecting herself and the hero, everything in the world lies in balance.
Finally, the heroine asks a writer to help, really wanting the writer to write their story into a book. By the way, let the writer experience it in person.
