The film has created too much moral correctness for the heroine's character, which has become a distraction. In fact, even if she is replaced by a bad person, she retains a motive that she needs to "save people or save herself", and it will still hold true along the way. So this part is a little bit of a flaw in the director/writer's handling. However, the flaw is still able to lead to the end of the clue. Otherwise, this apparently pessimistic and dark horror thriller wouldn't always have an audience.
Really desperate?
Did the director/writer really block the solution? Can I just follow the old lady step by step into the pit?
Should we kill curiosity and compassion in our lives? Is it better to pretend not to see or to run away immediately after finding out that something is unreasonable?
Even in reality, we don't want us to be so weak unless we have to!
To know the top species that we can jump out of the survival of the fittest!
When the question comes, I must retain my curiosity, and I will never kill my sympathy, nor escape, nor shrink back nor cowardly. So what can you do with the female lead?
Persist or not?
If those methods do work, why not believe them? (Even the ending is clearly set to be effective)
If you choose "I just don't believe it at this step, what can you do with me! (But what's the point of reading a story like this? Jump out of the story and compare it. And it's not that people's movies are not self-consistent here, and they're not arrogant." What is the difference between this behavior and the heroine shouting "I don't believe I don't believe" at the end of the film? It can only be said that this is self-inflicted.
I also want to retain my own perception and judgment, my own right to choose!
The problem goes - I believe!
"I believe", is there no way to get here?
Others say the problem lies in trusting the wrong lawyer. But judging from the development of the plot, the lawyer did not make much mistakes, which is worthy of suspicion. It's just a little bit more intimate with the old lady, but it's understandable to be criticized for being nervous.
And then it makes sense to escape by boat instead of looking for friends or the police. My best friend talked about witchcraft, and she didn't even dare to enter the laundromat. It was very clear. When the heroine went to her, there was only one result: to persuade her to accept it, give it up, stop meddling, and then it developed into a quarrel. I think the choice of the best friend at this time will never follow her because she rushed back to the mansion. At most, she will call the police when she has no choice but to struggle after leaving. And the police, what do you say to the police? There is no evidence of abuse or restraint, and the police will not conduct a thorough investigation just because of a single sentence. The police station has received many more exaggerated and harassing phone calls... And after she found a lawyer, the lawyer made a small gesture of recording the phone calls! (They have already prepared this hand, and the entry-level law of others is not for nothing)
In fact, at this time, she could still find someone—the laundry witch, but it might not be useful. Maybe the witch's number of paragraphs is not as good as that of the old lady. But if there is a chance to show the witch the spell in advance, talk about the record and other related props and rituals, you may still be able to find out the danger!
Just according to the photo, witchcraft exists, but it also has its own rules and principles, and some tendencies can always be judged. It can only be said that at this stage in the film, the heroine does not completely believe in witchcraft. And she was too impulsive and arbitrary, too anxious for the old man to comfort her, but the source of her worry was that he would be sacrificed tonight!
If she believes that the "sacrifice" is true, it is better not to deny her doubts and worries.
Instead of stubbornly denying the obvious weirdness, try to calm yourself down and think about witchcraft. Since it has been perceived, it is assumed that it is indeed reasonable. Since she has already tested powder conversion and the treatment is effective, why didn't she learn more about it?
I think that's the crux of the matter! (At least stopped at this point in this film)
Curiosity, conscience, justice, perception, self-judgment, not easy to doubt anyone (lawyers), and reason and belief in witchcraft (the two do not conflict). I keep all of these, what I need to get rid of is impulsiveness and arrogance! And I think there is more arrogance here than impulsiveness! So impulsive because of overconfidence.
Would adding a gate of sanity to these qualities that I would not be willing to be forced to strip would solve the dilemma?
If she feels something is wrong, be a little more "awe". Believe that you are not omniscient, believe your own feelings, and believe that even unreasonable phenomena must have their own laws - and then what you have to do is not escape or turn a blind eye - but admit and face it!
She did: She went to the laundromat witch, the former care worker, the blind old lady at the gas station. But the result?
The most professional laundromat witch in this place visited once, and after the crucial and effective one, she never consulted again, and she never communicated about records, art, or magic circles (perhaps because she was disdainful and ashamed to speak, and she didn’t want others to think of her) True belief); she didn’t listen much to the words she left as a nurse; the blind old lady tended to be superstitious…
In other words, her knowledge of witchcraft is based on hearsay, and she believes in what she likes. (And many sources of information are "direct indoctrination" from granny!)
Just imagine.
If in doubt, why not do some research?
If only to learn more about witchcraft! Not just from existing channels (especially from the big houses of interest). Make more trips to the laundromat, and then go further to find out more relevant information, and do your best to learn more. Turn to other professionals in witchcraft to help analyze the old man's illness and the situation in the mansion. Instead of blindly jumping to conclusions based on just a few days of observation... (It is better to step back and resign to ask for help if you realize your own incompetence, and then bring back weapons and ammunition, and a witch-making expert. The more you help, the more you help) (solving problems requires methods, whether the motivation is a good method or a wrong one. It should not be done for the sake of good motivation)
Will things change?
I believe that if it exists, it is reasonable, and it can be justified that there are laws to follow. There must be laws in the existence of witchcraft. As long as you understand rationally and get more professional help and judgment, it will not be so easy to be led by the nose...
Believing is okay, but believing and doing professional research is completely different from blindly trusting or blindly denying.
I think if the heroine is more cautious in judging the situation and understands that she can't help anyone if she doesn't understand the situation, she might go further to see the problem, instead of following the route laid out by the old lady!
On the other hand, the cause of this situation is not more about "believing" or not, but more about being too arrogant and stubborn!
Believing or not is just a starting point. If the argument is wrong, then deny it, or keep only a small part of the argument that is correct. Otherwise, the argument will develop into belief after the argument is completely correct. What's the problem? !
The key is to do research and be professional. The world of awe is not as obvious as it seems. Reverence has a reasonable existence that surpasses its own ability and cognition.
Don't be self-righteous and underestimate the enemy... (The modern version of the seven-day quick pk is a century-old witch, even Jackie Chan is sweating) (but the heroine seems to have an advantage in physical fitness, and he never used a gun in the later stage...)
Don't think that your motives are pure, standing on the highest point of morality, and God has to cover you? pamper you? let you win?
(Look at how hard the villains are, dead countless brain cells, and set up such a precise game. One is not good, the next one, this is the sixth one... Broken, paralyzed, and caught up without saying a word. Add more before the ceremony A fiery threat, not sly, not crazy, not impulsive, still always calm and confident, and people risk their lives, it’s not easy!!!) (You ask why you don’t use children directly. Maybe Children have all kinds of inconveniences and restrictions. The most important thing is to have this confidence. Adults can find weaknesses.) (It seems that modern young people are more advocating to be villains, at least half-decent. Is there really only sensuality plus [eternal life], Can it stimulate us to start to hone our will, improve our thinking, and hone the quality of diamonds that are as cautious and meticulous as walking on thin ice???) (Cool and handsome, live a wonderful and enjoyable life, and maximize our potential, Both pros and cons will be equally attractive.)
The good and the evil have been excited for thousands of years and hundreds of millions of years, and the outcome depends only on whether the process and methods are more in line with the real laws. Don't take chances, don't overestimate yourself and underestimate your opponent!
Seeing too many stories of "justice will win" will distort the truth, and wishful thinking that "justice" is the inevitable ending.
The law of the jungle has always existed, but I have to firmly grasp the right to choose between good and evil, beauty and ugliness, and defend it with wisdom! This is freedom! (Don’t be forced to abandon curiosity, kindness, and courage, and still be “proud” and shout, “Only I have the courage to be truthful, and I am not like you hypocritical and pretentious”! Ask yourself, are you happy like this? Don’t come to moral kidnapping, don’t come to Dao Dao . Just ask you when you face yourself alone in the dead of night, do you really feel happy and free, don't you lose a life?)
(Only you know the answer)
the truth. Only when we face it honestly and carefully analyze the research summary can we make ourselves closer to it.
Don't take it for granted, don't be the heroine. Open, but rigorous enough to guard the door of your own heart. (The answer to any absolute question is no, and so is the "master key")
—————————————————————————————————
The law of fear can be further studied: the first reaction of so many audiences is the rejection of [curiosity, too enthusiastic, and faith]. In fact, from another perspective-because they feel deeply about the tragic ending. fear.
You "believe" that the ending is very reasonable and inevitable in reality, and at the same time that you "believe" that you feel the same "fear", you "believe" to remove some of the same/similar qualities as the heroine (seemingly prominent, The gun shoots the first bird), you can help yourself "get out of trouble". So I resolutely removed [curiosity, enthusiasm, all "beliefs" except "science"]. ——In fact, what is the difference between this and the heroine’s desire to survive (they “instilled” witchcraft) as a life-saving straw and abandoning rational judgment at the moment of life and death?
After you remove the above mentioned, will the monster let you go and spare you? Run away like the first five black female nurses, talk about witches like a best friend, never admit that you are afraid, and firmly believe that "if you don't believe it, you will die, but you will die in your heart", is it safe? At the end, the lawyer looked at your girlfriend's eyes, is it safe for you to hide for the rest of your life? What's your defense at this point? What to fight back? What are you hugging? What's left?
Thinking that removing these seemingly cumbersome (defenses to increase survivability) doors can isolate the monsters, but instead it became an excuse to further retreat and seek false help/reliance.
Only found here. This [Master Key] refers to [Fear]. The fear of the unknown; the fear of your own incompetence; the loss of reputation and death, etc....the fear of betraying yourself
Enemies in reality and stories like to talk when you are most vulnerable. Pay attention to exercise, hehehehehe
