Part 1. Watchtower

There are soldiers in the watchtower, who constantly monitor the male protagonist Mark. Every time the male protagonist walks into the window, there are binoculars staring at his house, and the watch on the window is helping the male protagonist to avoid periodicity. And because of the special task of the male lead, the female lead has to live in the room alone, lonely, depressed, and frightened. She loves the male lead deeply, but she is afraid that the male lead will not come back, so she has to make a deal with the devil. The demon has a relationship, causing it to create a new Mark Lai to be her lifelong and reliable husband.

Part 2. God

The image of God has appeared twice. The most impressive one is that the heroine Anna looks at God under Christ, but it is difficult to make a sound, like the process of the demon being subdued by Christ. The other time is when the movie is about to end. , Mark went to the old lady's house. The house was covered with crosses. The old lady and Mark discussed the issues of body and soul in detail. The old lady clearly told Mark that once the soul and body were separated, they would be controlled by demons.

Part3. Devil

The color of the eyes and pupils in the film is that the director has been adding more ink to render. When the demon appears as Mark, the eyes are green, and the other green-eyed devil is Helen. When Helen was washing dishes at Mark's house, he actually also He talked about coming from a place where the devil is easily recognizable, that is to say, Helen is the incarnation of the devil, and the real Helen, I don’t know what the situation is, and often in kindergarten, my son would scream and have nightmares when he fell asleep. , which also confirms that Helen is the incarnation of the devil, and when Helen stayed at Mark's house for the night, the son also shouted for the first time. When the demon Mark knocks on the door, his son drowns in the bathtub.

Part 4. Bombing

At the end of the movie there is the sound of cannonballs and the roar of planes, which seems to be a metaphor for the two devils being bombarded by cannonballs, but in fact the devils can't die, just like in the final shooting scene, Mark and Anna both died, But the Demon Mark is still intact. Many people interpret it as a political metaphor, but I don't actually see it too much.

Part 5. Summary

The film is ostensibly a love story, but has a strong religious overtone built into it. Through the evil demons, there is a stark contrast to the declining influence of Jesus. With the development of society, people's desires are getting stronger and stronger, but there are no factors that can control this desire. The film expresses the inner spiritual dilemma of modern people through a strong inner expression, which is why this film is sought after by many people as a masterpiece of postmodern movies.

    Handing knives for unmarried claims. Summary of the story: Both of them are insane, and then they finally stand on the same front and commit nerves together. If there is no cause, background or motivation, just looking at the result will feel inexplicable, and no matter how ruthless it is, it will not be able to empathize or cause some thinking; I hope there is a psychological trace that can be traced back, but there is no time to look again and explore. Purely for the sake of appearance, I am very satisfied. I thought that the pure desire teacher with the same face, I thought it was imagined, but I didn't expect... It feels like the director is satisfying his own bad taste.

    The director's idea is very interesting. Adjani's neurotic acting is very good, but this is not a horror film. It can be understood with the concept of poetry. Everything is a representation and a symbol. The theme is about the human struggle of derailment and divorce. Otherwise, really puzzling
