God says: Love, joy, perseverance, courage, understanding, tolerance, gratitude in the depths of human hearts and souls... is the lightning that reveals the dark corners, the rain that washes away evil dust and the holy light that nourishes all things, even if In the midnight of some silent, painful, lonely, feeble soul.
The devil said: Your torment beckons us like night dogs. We feed our hunger with human self-torture. Your pain is delicious butter on our bread. Funerals, unhappy marriages, lost loves, lonely beds...is what we eat. We suck pain as sweet and never tire of it.
----------------------------
A remote town in the American Midwest. Two twelve-year-old boys, Jim was born one minute before midnight and Will was born one minute after midnight. They are each other's best friends, as close as brothers, inseparable. Their bedroom windows face each other. Jim's dad Harry left home when he was a child and never came back. Will's dad, Charles, is the town's librarian, and in his fifties, he feels very old. Especially after that accident.
When Will was three or four years old, his parents took him on a picnic near the reservoir. He fell into the water and was swept away by the rapid current. The father, who could not swim, knelt by the water and did nothing. At this time, a man who was drinking on the other side, wearing clothes and boots, jumped into the water and rescued Will. This man is Jim's father.
A man who sold lightning rods came to the town. Jim's home needs special protection, he said. The black carnival is coming, the stormy night is coming. The Black Wizard and the Dust Witch arrive in town late at night on a driverless train. The people of the town, that night and the next morning, also felt a certain air of mystery.
At first, everyone thought it was just an ordinary touring playground. Jim and Will were even a little disappointed. But they soon discovered some secrets: The merry-go-round can be turned upside down when the music is playing, and a caretaker of the playground sits on it, getting younger and younger as it spins. Some people in the town: The bartender Ted, who has no right arm and right leg, who talks about rugby every day and hopes to be a famous star, is healthy, but he is turned into a child; the greedy cigar shop owner buys lottery tickets every day and imagines that one day he can Affordable to smoke expensive cigars rolled around Cuban women's soft thighs, he was turned into an Indian on his "lucky day" after winning the $1,000 lottery; After the dance performed by the beauties, they were turned into Middle Easterners; the once-small town beauties were now old school teachers who lost their sight when they changed back to their youthful appearances. These people, with dull expressions, can't speak, and seem to be unable to think, like empty shells. Because they all saw what they had longed for in the magic mirror of the black wizard and did not hesitate to exchange their souls.
Black wizards lead the fairground crowd through the town's streets. Bartenders, cigar shop owners, hairdressers, elementary school teachers, people selling lightning rods were among them, and almost everyone in the town didn't recognize them. Everyone said they liked the parade very much.
The Black Wizard meets Will's dad, Charles, and asks for information about the two children. Charles tries to hide it, but the wizard sees it through. When the wizard learned Charles' name, he said: Oh, so you are the librarian of this town. Charles said, yes, I've been honored to do it for many years. The wizards say that for so many years you wasted time, living through their lives, dreaming other people's dreams. Charles said that sometimes we can learn more from the dreams of others than from our own.
At night, the two children sat under the library lights listening to Charles read his father's diary. Charles' father, Will's grandfather, was a small town priest. This "Carnival of Black Mayhem" circuit has been here before. And brought many strange and unfortunate things.
The black wizard comes to the library. Charles let the two children hide. The best scene in the movie:
The name of the film comes from the first scene of Shakespeare's play King Lear, Act 4, "Thumbs thump, and the wicked must come." Charles whispers this sentence as he waits for the dark wizard to appear. The next sentence of the original book is "Since no one comes, the door will open by itself." The wizard responded: Ring the doorbell loudly and deeply, God is not dead or asleep. (You believe in singing and praying to God. Although God is not dead or asleep, he does not care about you. But I am here to satisfy your desires and realize your dreams.)
Charles said: Evil will lose, justice will prevail. Where did you come from, dust. Where are you going? grave.
The wizard then begins seducing both Charles and Jim. "If you tell me where Will and Jim hide, I can fulfill your dreams and make you young." "Jim, if you tell me where your friends hide, I can make you an adult. You can also be my partner..." You might think like me, he doesn't need anyone to tell him where the two kids are hiding, he's a black wizard, and the library isn't that big. , it's easy to find them. However, I like this movie even more because of this lovely logic element.
Love the old rules, like vampires can't enter a person's home unless they're invited by their masters; devils and wizards, though powerful, can't do what they want.
God says: Love, joy, perseverance, courage, understanding, tolerance, gratitude in the depths of human hearts and souls... is the lightning that reveals the dark corners, the rain that washes away evil dust and the holy light that nourishes all things, even if In the midnight of some silent, painful, lonely, feeble soul.
The devil said: Your torment beckons us like night dogs. We feed our hunger with human self-torture. Your pain is delicious butter on our bread. Funerals, unhappy marriages, lost loves, lonely beds...is what we eat. We suck pain as sweet and never tire of it.
I said: Humans, make choices. Humans always have choices. Because, both God and the devil exist in our soul.
