Scourge

A film with an aftermath will make people have expectations to some extent, but after watching this film ignorantly, there are indeed many places that are not well understood.
The people in the village are a cult, so keep the eldest son and kill all the second sons. Loren was the second son and should have been killed, but she escaped and was sheltered. But it was God or Satan who sheltered her. From the final ending, it should be understood that Loren was protected by God, and God ended up killing everyone in the village. Is it too cruel? What is the explanation for the death of the priest? The priest who did not do bad things was burned to death by nameless fire, whether it should be Satan's logical reasoning. Where did the prompt at the beginning come from? From this, it seems that God and Satan do their own thing and do not interfere with each other, which is somewhat unreasonable. And how the hell did Katherine know it was Doug who killed Ben?
The visual effects of the film are pretty good. From the beginning of the blood river, it is very shocking, and then the locusts are even more frightening to watch, and even the final sky fire is extremely spectacular.
I just don't understand why the result is that Katherine was raped by Doug and left a posthumous child. And the suspense at the end seems to be that the child in the womb will turn into a devil after birth. But this is just a cult, people are still normal people, why do they behave like aliens.
Some women are famous for their faces, which makes people think that she still has some acting skills. Some women are famous for their acting skills, and then they give people a more and more beautiful feeling. Hilary Swank is the latter, and the halo of the two-time Oscar actress began to shine on her. . My family's AnnaSophia Robb's filthy appearance takes away from her beauty, and it's a pity that the tearful Leslie in Bridge to Terabithia has etched this Natalie Portman-like little girl into my heart.

The Reaping quotes

  • Doug Blackwell: Only a servant of God could kill His angel. You remember? What your God did to you in Sudan. What about your daughter, huh? Now that...

    [chuckles]

    Doug Blackwell: that is your God.

    [gives Katherine the knife]

    Doug Blackwell: Katherine.

    Katherine Winter: [she doesn't take the knife] That wasn't God. God didn't kill my family. A weak, godless man filled with fear and hatred... a man like you. There's still that last plague, Doug. Death of the firstborn. You come from a long line of only children.

  • [on killing Loren]

    [Katherine throws the knife onto the ground]

    Katherine Winter: You do it.

    [Doug picks up the knife but doesn't use it]

    Katherine Winter: You can't do it, can you? Because you already tried and she survived.

    Doug Blackwell: No, that's not true.

    Katherine Winter: [beginning to get upset] You deceived me so I would murder her. This... this innocent child.

    [helps Loren to her feet and into her arms]

    Doug Blackwell: She's not innocent, Katherine.

    [signals fire]

    Doug Blackwell: Look what she's done already. You see it with your own eyes.

    Katherine Winter: You killed Ben... so I would blame her.

    [has a vision of Doug stabbing Ben]

    Katherine Winter: [to Loren] Come on.
