When bad luck comes knock on the door, kill it!

Let me first talk about the fate of this movie. I bought it in our small town at the end of April this year. The store made a fortune by selling pirated discs. The discs were produced by a pirate group in Guangzhou that selected high-quality Blu-ray digitals. I am not here to advertise for them. The so-called pirates are also good. I have to admire their company. The collections are all compressed and produced with the most HD subtitles. A piece of fifteen yuan (no counter price), a series of ten movies. Still more cost-effective than peers.

Bundled with the "Spirit Boundary" disc at the same time, there are actually some big CASTs in front of it, like "The Silent Lamb", "Silent Hill" and "Ghost Mirror". The name of this disc is actually called "The Most Horrible In History" "All Ghosts and Ghosts Movies", the name is very urinary. But it was arranged at the end. Many viewers' psychology is that under normal circumstances, if there is no horror mood and dedication to monsters and ghosts, they basically pass it. I almost turned it off in ten minutes, but I was eating and there were no new discs to watch. Finally, as the heroine’s life experience and torture came, I actually found that I was so curious that I wanted to watch it. After watching it, I have to believe that this is a film adapted from real events, without any ghosts, without any special effects, and without any big-name celebrities performing together.

After 90 minutes of the movie, I was moved by a strong compassion from my heart. What touched it? Those who had expected stability in their lives to study like normal people, love, and even luxury ideals, were stifled in the last little bit, except for those struggling that seemed desperate to themselves, like a beacon that supported their beliefs, they were extinguished. A plume of smoke behind.

From the beginning, Michelle was very resistant to going to the doctor under the persuasion of her friends. In her heart, she did not accept the fact that others were sick to herself, even if it was asthma. In the end, the vacillating boyfriend didn’t have a move. He accepted the priest’s different attitudes to himself, and he compromised to believe that he was the tombstone bearing the sufferings with "Love Will Tear Us Apart" engraved on it. The devil's guilt of the woman chosen by God. Now it seems that whether it is the absurd priest or the loving father and the indifferent extreme mother in this serious Catholic family since childhood, the story composed of these sorrows is counting down from the beginning.

I read the German version, because there is only one language to choose from, and the German that I know is often German. So it is conceivable that the subtitles and the tone of voice are used to recognize. At the beginning of the scene, Michelle was riding a bicycle in a small town, climbing a hillside to get the college notice, pushing forward with difficulty, which implies that she was breaking away from the wickedness of her own destiny. These shots were like some documentary material. Shaking more than ever. Sandra Hüller calmly and naturally, but with a slight bit of suffering behind her, the performance unfolded step by step, her helpless acceptance suppressed her inner world.

The other American version of this movie is "The Exorcist". I didn’t watch the movie and I won’t comment on it here, but it is conceivable that we control our thoughts roughly and religiously, and exaggerate illnesses excessively and curb their spiritual freedom and medical treatment. From these perspectives, it can be extended to our Chinese medicine. What has been preached for thousands of years has been demonized, covering all kinds of diseases and various intractable diseases, thus reaching the level of superstition. This has emerged many like Zhang Wuben. The quack doctor.

In fact, like Michelle, we are all victims. The spiritual shackles used by countless elders in the name of kindness have made us more and more cynics step by step, and finally we have become the most annoying when we were young. That group of people. However, these sorrows are far more than these.

At the end of the film, after the tug-of-war between Michelle’s family and her family’s prayers and the demon that never appeared in her heart, we saw this shot of Michelle with a thin and tired face under a hazy sky in the background. They opened the door and saw Hannah’s visit. They finished the conversation on the bench. The director specially took a long shot close-up of her face. With sad background music, tree shadows crisscrossed her face. We couldn’t see whether it was pain or pain. Long-term numbness? However, her expression is so calm. At this time, I felt great sadness from my heart.

Some people say it's like a quasi-romantic movie, some people say it's a sad horror movie, but all of this is not important, as Lao Luo said: "You must have faith, but not religion."
