My understanding is shallow, but I still want to write something.
I thought it was a ghost movie until I watched it.
Because the title of the film is "Ghost Granny" and the word "cursed ghost mask" is written in the film introduction.
After watching the whole film, I realized that there are no ghosts, and in such a chaotic world, people are ghosts.
When the warrior wearing the ghost mask appeared in front of his mother-in-law, he said something like: "The reason why I wear this ghost mask is to cover my beautiful face on the battlefield."
This sentence is actually It's ridiculous. Before the war, the warrior's heart and appearance may have been beautiful. He couldn't bear to slaughter Chinese people on the battlefield, so he wore the mask of evil spirits to kill. In fact, he has already become a "ghost" (the director used the mask to be glued to his face to show this meaning.) He is no longer just a person wearing an ugly ghost mask, but a The ghost mask blends into a real ghost!
As for the mother-in-law, the same is true. In order to survive, she and her daughter-in-law specially picked up the armors of the dead warriors and were able to sell them for a few dollars. The more he did, the more skilled he became, and he gradually developed into a partnership to kill the lone warriors alive. She always has an excuse, that is, that the world has become like this because of those people's wars. So damn they. But no matter what excuse you use, isn't this actually murder? She also selfishly did not let her daughter-in-law leave her, and pretended to be a ghost to scare her. She only had in her heart: to kill, to live. Slowly losing her humanity, there is no trace of beauty, and no one else is allowed to have it, and her mother-in-law gradually turned into a ghost.
When she couldn't take off the ghost mask, she panicked! I begged my daughter-in-law to help her pull it off. If I really took off the ghost mask, would I no longer be a ghost? The answer was revealed when the mask was split, and her face was bloody. It's good now, without a mask, she is already a ghost, from the inside out, to the bottom of it.
