Rosemary's Baby is my favorite movie, and it's the movie that I think is impeccable, and it's the movie that I think is the best.
After careful calculation, it should be regarded as a movie in the middle of my movie viewing journey, but I have never watched a more exciting and exciting movie than it. This must be my subjective assumption, and I will not deny it.
Rosemary's baby has a high status in the film history of the United States and the whole world (not only the history of horror films), and there are obvious tributes in many subsequent films. It should be comparable to The Exorcist (1973). ) side by side, there is no doubt that they are both great horror films, and both are religious horror genres, and the devil in both films has been praised.
Before 1968, there have been many movies about demons in the United States and Europe, such as "Satan's Mask" and Dreyer's "Vampire". But these are only sideways depicting the power of Satan, and they did not face the master of hell until the appearance of Rosemary's baby. Polanski was very courageous. He knew that this film was unprecedented, but he still filmed it perfectly, so there would be the tragedy that followed. He's reluctant to talk about the movie because of the sadness it caused him, but there's no doubt that it's the best movie of his career, not Chinatown and The Pianist. I think it's a pride to have a horror film as the best film I've directed, because horror films can't be mainstream anyway.
Rosemary's Baby is not a purely artistic film in itself, it has very strong dramatic twists and a moving plot, and most of these designs are for the audience's appetite, which is the box office. However, the artistry embodied in this film is definitely no less than that of contemporary Bergman art films. My favorite movie scene is Rosemary's dream after eating the drugged mousse. It can be said that the whole film wants to express seven or eight out of ten minutes. The burning walls, the naked Satanists, the hairy Satan, the red paint, the green smoke, the black pillows, the mattresses floating on the sea, and the pope who is in the company of Satan, is unforgettable.
When I finished watching this movie, it was no exaggeration to say that my whole body trembled. It was the first movie that made me tremble. Rosemary is a completely tragic figure, she has no right to choose, her fantasies are shattered again and again, and the help of friends is of no avail. The most trusted person has already betrayed her and was raped by Satan. The child must be born out of motherhood. instinct to take care of children. Women's power is basically zero in this film, there is no choice and cannot be changed, which profoundly reflects the oppressed fate of women in society.
Religion is the ultimate proposition of this movie. This movie takes Satanism too real. The frescoes, actions and expressions are so real, which led to the tragedy of the Roman Polanski family, which was bloodbathed by the Manson family. In this movie, Catholicism became a slave of Satanism. Rosemary watched the Pope on TV, but the Pope in the dream could not save her, but instead helped Satan and witnessed Satan rape her.
This movie is like a true portrayal of Roman Polanski. Many of his sufferings in the future are the source of it. I still want to pay tribute to him. He made a great movie!
