"The Land Forsaken" is an American movie, and it's hard to sleep after watching it

The big demon has some regrets tonight. He regrets watching an American movie. After watching it, he feels bad.

The movie is called "Land Forsaken".

From the name alone, you can feel an apocalyptic taste, which is also a common style of American movies.

But after watching it, I found out that this is another movie that pierces the boundaries between the kindness and darkness of human nature.

It throws a question about what is true kindness.

There are many suffocating plots in this film. Among them, the one I remember the most about the big demon is not the male lead, but the preacher Roy!

(The following views are limited to the views on the plot of the movie)

He is a fanatical Christian, and in order to prove that his belief in gods made him overcome his fear, Roy took a pot of spiders and poured it on his face.

This scene directly made my scalp tingle with the big demon, this operation is absolutely perfect.

And Roy's younger brother was paralyzed and unable to walk because of drinking too much antifreeze. The reason for drinking antifreeze was also to test his faith.

This approach even the male protagonist Willard's mother said bluntly, "In my opinion, it is too extreme."

Indeed, what the two brothers did in order to test themselves was incredible.

But even more unexpected was what Roy did to her wife.

After seeing Roy pour spiders on her face, Helen was directly moved by Roy's courage and piety, so the two of them got married and gave birth to a lovely girl, Lai Ruola.

Let's talk about Lei Ruola's affairs when you have time. Let's finish talking about her parents first.

As time passed, Roy's more and more fanatical belief finally reached the bottleneck of the outbreak. He took his wife Helen to the mountains, saying that he wanted to take a romantic walk with Helen in the mountains.

But just when Helen wanted to hug Roy, an iron awl stabbed into her neck.

Helen could never have imagined that her husband, her daughter's father, would actually want to kill her.

Next, an even more unexpected plot appeared. The reason why Roy killed Helen was to verify his beliefs.

He believed that the gods would resurrect his wife Helen! Believe that you can resurrect your wife!

Obviously, Helen could not be resurrected, and Roy was also very sad.

Ironically, the evangelist thought of lying and wanted to cover up the truth of killing his wife with a lie.

This is contrary to his beliefs.

" Let's just say it was an accident , " he said to his brother who saw the whole thing in the car .

But when Roy heard that his younger brother also wanted to help him lie and escape, he chose to leave his younger brother back to atone for his sins.

To be honest, he threw his younger brother in the car, and then stopped the car and ran back by himself. Some did not understand.

Maybe it's because he doesn't think his brother's faith is strong enough.

But unfortunately, Roy stopped a car of a husband and wife murderer.

This episode is a bit exciting, so I won't go into details. The point is not those exciting episodes, but the moment when Roy finally knelt down and begged for death.

At that moment, the first thing he saw was the clouds in the sky, and then he thought of his daughter.

From this scene, we can see that Roy is a very paranoid character. He has been pursuing his beliefs until his death. If he hadn't killed his wife, he would have been paranoid, not a villain. .

But he still became what he called " a person who is going to hell ".

So is he good or evil?

As mentioned earlier, Roy is not a supporting role in the film. Besides him, there are many characters of all kinds, and their lives are full of contradictions.

There is Alvin who murdered to avenge his sister, a young priest who is filthy and hateful on the surface, and a police officer who protects his sister for his own sake.

They do what they think is right.

The contradiction is so big that I can't see who is the good guy and who is the real bad guy.

After watching this movie, I do regret the big demon. I always think that the plot of the movie is too dark. I can only say that it brings together too much evil in one movie.

In the future, I will still watch some comedy movies at night, at least to improve the quality of sleep.

This film is not recommended for friends to watch, it is a bit depressing after watching it, okay, good night.
