Movies and novels are indistinguishable

Most of the horrors in the East are supernatural, and most of the horrors in Europe and the United States are bloody and thrilling. The difference in culture is also reflected in the performance.
Rosemary's Baby is a horror classic without all the elements of mainstream horror. There is no white clothes, long hair, cold and strange, no grinning monsters and ghosts, and no sudden visual shock and bloody and bloody torn souls. The only witchcraft spirits are also unusually calm and unpredictable.

At the beginning of the film, although the old apartment, the wardrobe shelf, the baby incident, and the death of Teresa have already made the audience think about it, and doubts have emerged, but the slow and gradual rhythm of the plot, the rhythm of the beautiful music, the harmonious and happy life of the husband and wife is always not enough. It will make you feel like you are watching a classic horror movie. But in fact, it is not until the end of the film that one realizes that all the harmony and happiness that I saw before have long been laid down in an unimaginable and unbelievable "heavenly net". Husbands, neighbors, doctors, and babysitters. All the people who are concerned about Mary's birth are the most loyal believers of Satan. Everything about Mary's life and emotions is under their invisible control.

Maybe most people will have doubts when watching, because they don't know whether to believe in Mary or think that Mary is really mentally disturbed and dreaming. "Amulets," "Pills," "Tannis," "Books," "Witchcraft Exchanges," and "Herb Juice" are objects that run through the film throughout the film, contain special meanings, and show the concept of "witchcraft" everywhere. the cycle occurs more than once

saying that some of the film's introduction:

"the film created a set of core health in the United States revealed hidden depths of the family evil horror movie director ruthless form of the audience into a friendly and harmonious being deceived. In a world full of witchcraft and devil worship, Rosemary's youth and vulnerability make her the prey of a brutal, ambitious "husband" and a mysterious and eccentric elderly couple. Watch Rosemary go from healthy and lively to Later neurasthenia, you can't help but hit a chill."

Agreed that Mary became the "prey" but expressed doubts about the first sentence. "The Evil Deep in the American Healthy Nuclear Family" After watching the movie, I really didn't realize anything about the factors of the American healthy family. Perhaps in the film, it may be felt that due to the intervention of the old couple, the lives of Mary and her husband have been affected to some extent, and the general contradictions hidden in the family will be revealed, but for the whole film, there is really nothing. The plot can be seen. "Rosemary's Baby" is an orthodox horror film, and it is very strange to hang various labels of social ethics and family color.

Director Roman Polanski is worth mentioning, "Knife in the Water", "Bitter Moon", "The Pianist" and "Chinatown" needless to say, although I have no feelings for "The Pianist" and "Chinatown", which have a good reputation and numerous awards .
Roman Polanski, the director who likes to make noir films and horror films, also has a legendary surprise in him. The other protagonist of the legend is the famous Manson murder family. The relationship between them must be difficult to understand despite speculation. After the successful shooting of "Rosemary's Baby" and the murder of his wife in his old castle, this case is known as the Tate murders. As a result, there are many differences, and there is no good word to define reality and illusion, just like saying that there is no good scientific argument to convince the existence of "pseudoscience".

Rosemary's Baby quotes

  • Terry Gionoffrio: The Castevets are the most wonderful people in the world. Bar none. You know, they picked me up off the sidewalk - literally.

    Rosemary Woodhouse: You were sick?

    Terry Gionoffrio: I was starving and on dope and doing a lot of other things. They're childless, though. I'm like the daughter they never had. At first, I thought they wanted me for some kind of sex thing; but, they turned out to be like real grandparents.

  • Guy Woodhouse: If we get friendly with an old couple like that, we'll never get rid of them.
