One of the most controversial aspects of this film is its subject matter - cult, and even more coincidentally, the director's wife, Sharon Tate, died in the Manson family (a cult). Many people take it for granted that Tate's death is inseparably related to the movie based on the theme clues, but in fact there is no direct connection between the two.
There are two versions of Manson's motive for killing Tate. One version is that Manson was addicted to music creation and wrote a lyric to music producer Terry Machel, but was not influenced by Terry Machel's approval, that's why Manson started killing. He instructed his followers to kill at Machel's residence. However, Machel had moved, and the Polanskis became the new owners of the address, and indirectly the scapegoats. In addition to Polanski going to Europe to film and not at home, his pregnant wife and four friends of his wife died tragically in the massacre.
Another version is that the members of the Manson family were unfairly treated by the Polanski family before they died. So overall it has nothing to do with this movie. The public's sexual association is understandable, because Manson is also a god-like existence in the eyes of his followers, just as the Satanist believers in the movie worship Satan fervently. At this point, the film and Manson The Sen family does have some connections.
As far as the film itself is concerned, Rosemary's Baby is different from traditional horror films as we understand them--gloomy cool colors, dark characters or ghostly horror scenes. At the beginning, after the heroine moved to a new home, it unfolded gently. Except for the unnatural death of the former homeowner, there was no horror movie routine. But the psychological horror of this movie is full of stamina. The heroine is pushed step by step to the depths of the conspiracy from moving to a new house and getting pregnant to approaching labor. The heroine's excellent acting skills and the increasingly thin pale face also gradually reflect the spiritual changes in the center of the conspiracy.
The director lays out the details step by step to pave the way for the following plots, and every event, big or small, is actually worth investigating. When the hostess moved to a new house, the previous owner moved the closet blocked by the closet and she passed through this compartment to reach the next door. This is an echoing detail for the wizard's house; a glove lost after the hostess' friend came to visit is with the inside of the book. The introduction of "Take the personal items of the cursed person to achieve the purpose of the spell" corresponds to the idea, and the cause of death of the heroine's friend is similar to that of the previous owner; the man also cooperates with the wizard to take the competitor's personal items. Casting a spell to get a chance to appear in a drama, the heroine has repeatedly emphasized what theatrical drama her husband is in, but the people she talks to are not familiar with it. It can be inferred that the hero is not well-known and needs the help of a wizard later. It echoes the purpose of achieving fame; the photos in the picture frame that the heroine described after she went to the wizard's house for the first time did not match the size and size, which are the same as the photos of the wizard introduced in the book later, that is, the wizard's next door. Father.
The docile female protagonist began to resist in the early stage of giving birth. At this time, the scene scheduling constantly presented all aspects of the city, and constantly placed the female protagonist in front of the building to form a contrast, which alludes to the ending of the female protagonist's resistance under the conspiracy of the wizard. On the other hand, the scene frame has always been parallel to the long corridor of the heroine's house, and the compartment that leads directly to the wizard's house is located in the center of the scene frame. It means that she will eventually embark on the road of being in the company of the devil - she has taken over the task of cradle the baby.
In a big city like New York, the modern city is not inconsistent with wizards and wizards. Wizards are not only perfectly hidden in it, but also the number of groups should not be underestimated. It is even more ironic that a woman who is abducted in a country can still have a chance to escape, but a woman in the city has nowhere to go; the real evil may be in your daily life, or it may be the one who cares about non-waiting. The old couple, the despair and the indifference of the hostess in the shackles make the back cold. To quote Dr. Hill when the heroine asks for help in the play: "There are a lot of people with crazy ideas in this city." He's not agreeing with the heroine's description of the wizard's conspiracy against him, but a pun intended. Expressing a crazy attitude towards the heroine's fantasy about witches. Polanski once again put the audience on a desperate high.
