Horror runs through the quartet

Fortunate to have visited Europe, the most intuitive impression of Catholicism and Christianity (Protestantism) lies in the vast difference between the two churches: the towering and splendid Catholic Church is more like God in the world than the simple, elegant and unpretentious Christian Church. Temples, but their other differences are only covered in the chapters of the Reformation in the history books. Recently, I watched the horror movie "Death Video" series shot in Spain, the most devout Catholic country in Europe. From the plot design in the film, which is different from the Hollywood zombie movie style, it is more or less obvious to the Catholic peeping leopard: Protestantism in the United States. Resident Evil is deduced as the coming of Satan and the doomsday judgment; it is not doctors and doctors who try to save the common people but priests and priests; when disaster strikes, any sword, sword, sword and halberd will be of no avail, and only the bible recited by the clergy will make zombies terrified. The determination and perseverance of the Chinese people who generally lack faith are difficult to understand. (After all, when any religion comes to us, it becomes extremely down-to-earth and full of worldliness: for example, we bribe the gods to seek blessings.) Although the death video tetralogy does not adhere to the pseudo-documentary shooting format, it allows the realistic horror atmosphere to continue in the same vein, which is worthwhile. What is commendable is that the first and second episodes took place in the same dark apartment. Through the claustrophobic pressure of the claustrophobic space, it conveys the horror that goes deep into the bone marrow, and it can also play a role in cooling off the heat in the hot summer! The horror of the third wedding theme broke out, the handsome and handsome groom who can sacrifice for love and the beautiful, moving, brave and loyal bride complement each other. The fourth part no longer emphasizes religious elements, but it has many failures, but it explains the cause and effect of the story in a short time, which can be regarded as a not-so-satisfactory end to the series of movies. In short, this series seems to make people think about it while making people addicted: In modern society, we cannot ignore the extraordinary power of faith, have a spiritual world goal that can be pursued, and be afraid of ugly behaviors. It is a big difference between human beings and beasts, civilization and barbarism!

    Ángela: Like what?

    Álex: For example, broken water mains, or pet rescue too. Even though it sounds cliché, it's true.
