Vernon killed so many people, but why not kill his wife, after all, his wife is the one who really killed the little boys.
First, this is his only relative in the world.
The black writer Cole asked Medora how you met your husband. Medora said it didn't matter how you met him. Vernon has been there since I can remember. Later, a lens showed that Vernon had a photo with a little boy and a little girl when they were young. There is also the fake Indian John who said that Medora and Vernon have the same eye color and the same hair color. He said that Vernon looks to be a Nordic. How could he be here? It means that Nordic people are not common in the local area.
All signs indicate: Vernon and Medora are brothers and sisters!
Vernon sniffed the sheets in the hotel, almost sick, and seeing Medora seemed to be strangling her, but suddenly he couldn't help sniffing her hair, and having sex. This is not an ordinary love, this kind of fanatical state even the old writers look stupid.
So Vernon still doesn't kill Medora, this is his only blood relative. He couldn't bear to kill Medora. Regarding Medora, there is still a bit of analysis behind.
Second, killing children is a natural law, Vernon can understand, so he forgave his wife.
As for what the laws of nature are, they are given bit by bit in the film. And Vernon and Medora, as well as Qi Yang and others, are the wolves in human society! Their behavior has a counterpoint relationship with wolves.
In harsh environments, wolves will kill cubs. Because it can't feed anyway, kill the cubs to save the wolves. This is done by Medola. Of course there is still a question, can't she wait for her husband to come back? The husband must also go to war to get the soldier’s pension. There is no way to earn too much money in that place, and the husband also wants to improve the life of the family. So is it the situation at that time, there is no way to raise the child? No money and no food? Or the child will be eaten by the wolf sooner or later, and eventually there will be no whole body, so he decided to kill the child and leave the body? So Vernon came back and killed the old witch because she didn't help her wife, and the police's inaction led to serious wolf infestation. These indirectly led to the wife's decision to kill the child? I'm not quite sure here either.
The wolf will kill. The witch said, but why the wolf is killing it? It seems that it is not clear in the film. Maybe it is to survive and compete. Vernon and Medora stood in the snow. The aborigines passed by. There were reindeer killed on the sleigh. After contacting the wolves, all the wolves ate their cubs. The old witch said that the wolves were killing them and the corpses. It is not surprising that it is spread all over. If you don't kill, the wolves will starve to death. At this time, people are the enemy to the wolves. Vernon, Qi Yang killed the police and others were also merciless. To them, these policemen are like humans in the eyes of wolves.
Have sympathy for she-wolves. Medora asked the old writer how it felt to kill the she-wolf, and the old writer said it was terrible. Medora asked even if the she-wolf killed the child? Medora probably secretly compared herself with the she-wolf. Vernon killed a lot of people, but the old witch was a woman, and was shot by the old lady at the camp hotel (it’s a bit funny there). Perhaps this is why Medora is willing to wait for Vernon in the cave and feels that he will not be killed.
The justice or revenge of the wolves does not allow outsiders to intervene. The wolves also fight within the pack, but outsiders are definitely not allowed to intervene, and many small places have their own justice trial systems. On the battlefield, Vernon saw his comrade-in-arms, an American soldier raping a local woman, and he gave the woman a knife. Although different countries and different religions, Vernon still adheres to this principle: since something happened in your turf, you can carry out the trial by yourself. So if these policemen are not so active and want to catch Medora, maybe they won't die? The police also felt that they were on the same line with Vernon, saying they would try their best to catch Medora, and express condolences like Vernon. It probably means: this crazy woman killed your child, we will help you to deal with it. she. Vernon didn't know if he planned to kill Medola at first, but he certainly didn't want the police to catch Medola, so he killed and killed all the way to buy time, and he could find Medola earlier than the police.
If someone can truly communicate with a wolf, the wolf will kill him. The old writer is the only person in the film who can communicate with the wolves. He tracked the wolves and was discovered by the wolves, but the wolves did not attack him either. He tried to rescue the young policeman, Qi Yang also hesitated to postpone the shooting. He tracked Vernon, but Vernon did not kill him either. And when he finally crawled on the snow, the wolves didn't kill him either. Later, two aborigines said: They bypassed you for a lifetime. "They" are both wolves and locals such as Vernon Qiyang.
The whereabouts of the wolves are beyond the reach of ordinary people. The old writer traced the wolves, and the old writer also found Vernon and Medora. In the end, Vernon seemed very proud to say that the police could not find them at all. The corpses of Vernon and Medora and their children, their wolves are intact again, and between their hidden trails and the ice and snow, their story continues.
Who is the one who holds the darkness?
One thing to add, according to the old witch, Medora is the one who holds the darkness. When the young Vernon and Medora arrived at the hot spring cave, it can be seen that Medora was taking the initiative to seduce Vernon, saying that we can stay in this place forever. So Vernon's fascination with Medora may also be controlled by Medora. It was learned from Medola that Vernon had vowed never to leave Medola, but he went to the battlefield. This was a betrayal in Medola's eyes. Medora found a writer. From the writing and getting along with the writer, she can see that she is a very good person to manipulate others in secret. The writer was moved by the real words in her letter, drove over, followed the wolf again, and came back to find the child's body. All of this was planned by Medora. Medora's killing of the child triggered Vernon's killing. She avoided the police all the way, but did not avoid Vernon. When she went to the cave, she was waiting for Vernon to come to her. So the color of the sky mentioned by Medora is problematic, which probably means that the sky she sees is dark and there is no light. Because she is the one who holds darkness. Even if she speaks as if she is weak, but she is the most powerful character in it.
I didn't expect it to be so long! ! ! !
Interlude, question: about Vernon's dark past. It can be seen that Vernon had problems when he was young. The fake Indian John said that Vernon’s father came to ask for wolf oil, and that wolf oil could cure Vernon because Vernon was abnormal and unnatural when he was a child. So this abnormality refers to his abnormal love for his sister, or does it mean that he likes to kill? Knowing from the child that Vernon may have killed people before, then who was it that killed? Mentioned in the plot, but there is only one person who does not appear, and that is their father . When I was a child, I wanted to heal Vernon's father. Did he prevent Medora and Vernon from being together? ? Vernon asked the child how it felt to kill animals. The child said it was good. Does this child also like to kill? In this case, were the previous two missing children caused by wolves? If so, Medora's behavior has multiple possibilities. But Qi Yang seemed to be quite sure that his daughter was captured by the wolf, and hated that the police came the next day, resulting in her daughter's body not being found (for local customs, the body must be found). I don't have definite answers to these questions. It would be great if I could explain more.
