from weak fear
Marques 2022-03-21 09:01:23
This film is similar in spirit to "Killer Ah Yi". The devil is not attached to the strong, but resides in the heart of the weak, so fear is always accompanied by submission and tears. Most of the calm in the front of the film can also be seen as an interpretation of the weak. At the back, the weak finally went to its opposite, just like a weeping man splitting the two petals, and Jiali also began the process of killing. In fact, this style was also found in the third episode of the first season of the American TV series "Master of Horror". The knife and scream at the end of the film seems to pay tribute to Hitchcock.

Carrie: It was bad, Mama. They laughed at me. Hold me, Mama. Please hold me.
Margaret White: I should've killed myself when he put it in me. After the first time, before we were married, Ralph promised never again. He promised, and I believed him. But sin never dies. Sin never dies. At first, it was all right. We lived sinlessly. We slept in the same bed, but we never did it. And then, that night, I saw him looking down at me that way. We got down on our knees to pray for strength. I smelled the whiskey on his breath. Then he took me. He took me, with the stink of filthy roadhouse whiskey on his breath, and I liked it. I liked it! With all that dirty touching of his hands all over me. I should've given you to God when you were born, but I was weak and backsliding, and now the Devil has come home. We'll pray.
Carrie: Yes.
Margaret White: We'll pray. We'll pray. We'll pray for the last time. We'll pray.
