What the film wants to express is an important human emotion - empathy. The boyfriend is a person who cares about Danny on the surface but is very selfish behind the scenes. After he felt that the two friends stole the divine book, he immediately distanced himself from the relationship. It can be seen that he immediately grabbed the topic of the thesis when he saw that there were topics to choose from in the thesis. The friends were also indifferent to what happened to Danny, and they were also indifferent when Josh urinated on the divine tree and was called away by the villagers. They were all people who lacked empathy. On the other hand, people in the village can empathize with the joy and pain of their compatriots. The director also deliberately used exaggerated methods to magnify this empathy, which probably appeared everywhere. First, when the old man fell off the cliff and did not die, and second, when the sacrifice was burned, the villagers were in pain. And when the red-haired girl and Christian were crying, and when Dany cried, the villagers came from the heart, and regarded the new May Queen as their own. After the death of the family, Dany had nothing to worry about, and the village was full of love. Big family, that's why Dany smiled at the end.
And there are many hints in the film, such as the painting in Dany's room, and Christian looking at the burning bear mural, and so on. The game the children played when they first entered the village was called "Peel the Fool's Skin", which was also associated with the sacrifices made later, as well as the table symbols when eating. The grand ceremony was once every ninety years, every nine days, with nine sacrifices. Count by the Norse evil number nine. The symbols on Dany's dancing clothes are the same as the symbols on her sketches, which are also the foreshadowing of her becoming queen. Because she was the first to experience hallucinations and has a sensitive constitution, she was more able to integrate into the village.
The film Dispersion is a horror movie, but it also breaks the situation of terror at night. Most of the scenes appear in the daytime, and there is no strange force. The horror is either artificial or hallucination. It is a slow but powerful impact, and the camera changes. Also very powerful.
