Do you believe in God?

Generally speaking, whether it is going to the cinema or downloading from the Internet, a movie viewer usually watches it with a preliminary understanding of a movie. Because both the introduction of the film and the comments of various media have already explained the general theme and content of the entire film. But for this "Sanctuary," I watched it without knowing anything, because it was one of many horror movies I copied from a friend. I don't know anything about the movie, but it increases the effect of horror movies, because "unknown" itself is a terrible thing.

It is a pity that the sense of "unknown" in this film is relatively limited. The director arranged too many details for hinting. Although it makes the film appear more rigorous, it makes people guess the truth prematurely. The outstanding part of this film is that there are no obvious flaws as a whole, the main line is relatively clear, and the rhythm is good, and the police officer's last phone call can be regarded as a turning point for the film. One of the shortcomings of the film is that the above-mentioned suspense is not strong, and the second is that the plot after the truth is revealed is relatively conventional, including the creation of the ending.

In fact, compared to the horror atmosphere created by the film, the change in the heroine's cognition of science and belief is more interesting. The scene at the beginning mainly tells people that the heroine who is a psychiatrist does not believe in the existence of "split personality". For this reason, it also deliberately satirizes Hollywood movies, although the movie itself is a Hollywood movie. At this time, those audiences who were "influenced by various TV shows, novels, and Hollywood movies" as the heroine said, usually believed in the existence of "split personality", and naturally disapproved of her thoughts. The heroine in front of her even seems to have become Scully, who is always unbelieving in "X-Files". With the appearance of the hero Adam and his apparent split personality, the audience is waiting to see how the heroine can change her prejudice. And the heroine, who believes in science and God, finally chooses to believe in witchcraft in the face of the facts, and Scully becomes Mulder, which makes people smile.

The performance of the actors in this film is quite good, especially the heroine played by Julianne Moore, who has maintained a consistent level (by saying that the villain in the film is also named Moore, is it a coincidence?). The special effects of the personality change are also very impressive. Of course, there are also some places that should be explained but not explained, which have become regrets. For example, every time a pastor has finished inhaling his soul, he will be transformed into that person's soul, but why hasn't anyone noticed that their body has changed, or has doubts about their body change? The priest's mouth was sealed and his body was buried. Although he was cursed, how did he become a "sanctuary" container? In fact, these can be explained, but they are ignored by the film, which inevitably leads to confusion.

Finally, I want to say that this film seems to tell people that they should believe in God. Look, those who do not believe in God have all died, and the heroines who do not believe in work and life are all relatives, and only those who firmly believe in God have died. Can not hang. I am afraid that when people ask me whether I believe in God in the future, I will first intuitively see if he has multiple souls.
