A good film worthy of careful deduction

I finished watching "Devil Invasion" last night. Like the recently popular "Double Exposure", it integrates a variety of film elements. At first I thought it was a horror movie (including the movie posters also convey that feeling) When I saw the middle section, I thought it was a suspense movie. When it came to the end, I was surprised that it was a family movie! As for which film it belongs to, let's get it into your own eyes. Here, I want to talk about some details of this film.

Plot: "Juan's father is a prisoner. After he was released from prison, the miss of his mother and son made him visit their residences on rainy nights. Unfortunately, unfortunate things happened. In the process of snatching his son, Juan's prisoner father fell off the building. , Fell into the concrete downstairs, and the world evaporated without knowing it. Juan’s mother deceived the little boy to say that the scene he saw was a nightmare, and the prisoner who fell to his death Dad was also portrayed as a "faceless monster" by Juan's mother. The young boy believed in this, but he believed it too deeply...
Time flies, his mother remarries, and the little boy also has He got an English name, John~
John got married and had a beautiful 12-year-old daughter Mia. Mia accidentally found Juan’s letter on the faceless monster, and began to explore the development of this story. And John because of his daughter Mia Yan’s nightmare and the scene of his colleague almost falling from the building activated the illusion of the "faceless monster" he believed in... So the father and daughter embarked on a spiritual journey to overcome the nightmare~~~~"

Detail 1: Mia I believe When she first told the story of the faceless monster, there was no concrete image of the faceless monster, but when she told her nightmare to her father John in the storage room, John subconsciously concretized the shape of the faceless monster. Up. Personally, I think that from the burning of humanoid props, Mia's small movements from happiness to the end of being a little afraid to hide behind John can be seen that this faceless monster, which was embodied, was passed on to her daughter Mia. At this moment, the relationship between father and daughter's induced psychosis was formally established.

Detail 2: A discussion about why Mia wrote that she doesn't believe in the existence of Faceless Monsters. I think it’s easy to understand. Mia herself has no life experience of No Face, she just picked up Juan (that is, John)’s letter paper and told a story about No Face, so she said she didn’t believe it. Faceless monsters are normal. However, when she explored Juan's story, she found that she got a strong resonance from her father John (it should be reminded that Mia did not know that Juan and John were the same person), so the 12-year-old Mia began to doubt herself , Is this really a story or reality? As a father, John felt that the faceless monsters exist objectively. He believes that the strong emotion of the faceless monsters indirectly affects Mia's body, making Mia's doubts more intense. Don't forget, father and daughter. There is also sensory psychosis. And Mia's contradiction was clearly explained through her own behavior. She said she didn't believe in No Face Monster before in the hospital, and then wrote "Leave me alone" to No Face Monster when she went home.

Detail 3: Some friends think that the exorcism scene is too cryptic. I personally think that the exorcism itself is more like a priest doing hypnotherapy with Juan. Through hypnosis, the little boy Juan recalls real events. Therefore, when Juan became afraid of the sculpture after trying the treatment, the face of the sculpture in the painting gradually began to become concrete. At this time, the little boy's mother, who realized that the truth might be revealed, immediately took the little boy out of the church.

Detail 4: The father played by Owen is actually the little boy in the opening chapter-Juan. This is actually very natural. Although the director used Juan to speak Spanish to avoid the audience's association, but the shape of the playmate around the boy (flared pants, Beatles hairstyle) still clearly explained the two main lines. In different times, and naturally, the father played by Owen is the little boy Juan. Both people's names still start with J.
