This is the allegorical scene of the doomsday portrayed in the movie "Who Can Kill the Child". As a 1976 movie, you will be surprised that there is no 3D special effects, computer special effects, relying solely on the lens, acting skills and script, but it can still create a terrifying atmosphere.
During the viewing process, there were a few questions that the director raised and needed to be answered.
1. Who can kill a child?
This question is not only the title of the film, but also the core of the whole film. What is a child? A child is a child. In our eyes, the child is absolutely disadvantaged. He is the newborn sun and the hope for the future of mankind.
Who can kill children? War, hunger, man-made disasters... In the final analysis, it is adults, adults lack awe of children. In their eyes, children are powerless, powerless, and harmless. of. This is also the case that the film reverses the standpoint of children and adults, and makes adults feel afraid of children.
2. Are the children aware of their brutal killings?
The answer to "I don't know" is given in the movie. Of course, I don't know either. Because from the outside, those children are so innocent and lovely, as if they were angels sent by God. With the appearance of an angel, you can't communicate with the devil. Therefore, we adults are confused, and confusion makes them at a loss.
3. In front of this group of children, what would you do?
The protagonists in the movie, Dom and Evelyn, were at a loss from the beginning and couldn't bear to start. Later, after killing the first one, they fought back frantically, because they realized that this group of children has completely opposed the adults. It is either you or me. Death.
In the movie, the people in the village did not kill a child. From "They left, no one dared to kill a child until now. No wonder they are not afraid".
So what about you, will you start with your children? Or the loli who often catches butterflies among the flowers, the boy who often stops and looks in front of the glass of the cake shop? Do you have the heart to start?
----------------------------------
At the same time, the film has many interesting scenes:
1. The beginning of the film 6 Minutes of war scenes, as well as reports of the Cold War and the Vietnam War interspersed in television newspapers, silently complained about the persecution of vulnerable groups, especially children, by the war.
2. In the middle of the film, in the church toilet, a group of boys molested a female corpse, revealing the boys' exploration of the female body.
3. The heroine died of the dystocia of the baby in her arms. It can be imagined that if we did not experience the intercourse of men and women, the hardship of pregnancy in October, and the labor pains of childbirth, we would be more casual with the child, to the point of abandoning and killing casually.
4. As a Spanish film chooses American tourists as the protagonist, it is by no means to please the American audience, but a subtle irony of the hegemony of the United States' international status.
