What I gained from this film was not a horror or thriller, but a kind of moving. After thinking about it carefully, I understood the reason for this moving - THE BABY IS ROSEMARY'S BABY!
First of all, I don't think the title's emphasis on the name Rosemary is unintentional. Here are some allusions about Rosemary:
"Rosemary is native to the Mediterranean coast, and its English name is derived from the two Latin words rose and marinus, which means "morning dew of the sea". According to an ancient legend, rosemary flowers were originally white, and when the Virgin Mary fled to Egypt with her baby Jesus, the Virgin hung her burqa on the rosemary tree, and since then Later, rosemary flowers turn blue. When Jesus fled from Judea to Egypt, he dried his washed clothes on rosemary, which is endowed with many benefits.
Religious legends have deepened the sacred power of rosemary. In Europe, rosemary is widely planted around churches, and believers regard it as a sacred offering, so rosemary is also known as "the rose of the Virgin Mary." ". "
When watching the movie, you must feel that the image of the heroine Rosemary is pure and pure, full of love, and even thinking about her situation, I think she can be called smart and brave. Suddenly, she became pregnant with a child in a dream. She is indeed the Virgin Mary.
From the ending Rosemary spats at her husband but accepts the child, it can be seen that she cares more about her child than who the child's father is. It can even be said that they moved into this apartment in the first place because Rosemary wanted one. child. The child's father, then, is Satan, yes, but the child's mother is more than just a sad recipient of the sperm. She has her own beauty and kindness, so the child will still inherit part of her beauty and kindness. So I don't agree with some of the views that Rosemary and the demons are in the finale. Has she changed? She never turned bad from beginning to end. It can be said that in the end, she didn't kill anyone impulsively with a knife, but missed her own children.
That is Satan's child, and even more so, Rosemary's son who is really caring with love! I really can't get used to watching too many movies and TV shows Satan's son, God's son, psychopath (♂)'s son, I think in this movie, this 1968 movie, it is telling us that those sons have mothers, please Look how beautiful and brave their mothers are, look how tough these women are who really raised those sons
Of course, if Rosemary picks up the knife in the future, kills the people inside, and raises the child by himself, I think it is the follow-up that I am most willing to recognize.
