If you look at this film now, the core is the extreme madness of love and possessiveness derived from the middle-aged marriage crisis, but in the context of the 1980s, the theme behind it is obvious - from the bones to the red Soviet Union Infinite fear. Until the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1989, the whole of Europe was trembling under the claws of the red giant bear, for fear that one day he would wake up from a dream and find that the torrent of steel of the Soviet army was already overwhelming the city. Many Chinese people do not understand why Europe and the United States are so opposed to the democratized Russia. In fact, it is this kind of deep-rooted fear at work.
During the Cold War, the East and the West penetrated each other, and all kinds of means were used to the extreme. The male protagonist Mark is obviously engaged in some kind of secret work, so he is extremely skilled in covering Anna's murder and arson. The devil who seduced Anna is obviously the embodiment of communism. At that time, many young people in the West believed in communism and became the vanguard of the Red Soviet Union. Anna was one of them, but this idea contradicted her religious beliefs and family values. So she kept killing people under the temptation of the devil, and at the same time spurned herself and was tortured by her conscience. Anna's ultimate mission is to turn her husband Mark back, because Mark, who is a government spy, is obviously of greater value. At the end of the film, the image of the demon 100 million Mark appears, and the real Mark has died. The child drowned while shouting not to open the door, and the hum of bombers sounded outside the room. Obviously, the final nightmare of the film was the outbreak of war and the beginning of a full-scale Soviet invasion.
