The plot is very simple: a group of people pressed a suspected witch to go to the church for trial, and when they got there, they found that the prisoner was not a witch but a demon, so they exorcised the demon and finally died.
The whole film doesn't feel anything after watching it, but the exorcism part reminds me of Supernatrual - the technique of suppressing demons with holy water, holding a scripture in an unknown language while reciting the magic spell and fighting, all in Repeatedly appearing in the six seasons of supernatural, it's almost without a grain of salt. What interests me is the incantations, in what language they are pronounced, and if there is such a language. I sometimes wonder if the director would say the cut again, would the actors still recite the same lines? Also, it doesn't matter if you are interrupted in the middle of reading the spell, and it doesn't matter if you change someone, just continue reading it. Well,
there are some questions:
1. Why doesn't the demon go to church to find books by himself? (Well, he may not know the address and needs someone to take it with him)
2. Since demons can make people hallucinate, why not use hallucinations to solve the escorts and destroy them easily after arriving at the destination Book? Why so uncomfortably revealing his identity after other people got the book, and then showing his mana and fleeing in a hurry after others cast a spell on him?
3. Why did the demon not destroy the books transcribed by the monks after escaping to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, but waited obediently for others to prepare holy water to kill him?
4. At the end, the rescued girl says in the first scene that she doesn't remember anything and doesn't know why she was there, and the last scene says: I want to spread their heroic story because "I was there". Please, you don't know anything there. It's just that little handsome guy who told you that they are heroes, you believe it, and you are too unquestioning! ——Please allow me to be rigorous academically.
That's about it, nothing special. But because I have paid to watch garbage like "Wolf Calamity", I didn't feel too distressed to watch "Season of the Witch" for free this time. Even the "Love and Other Drugs" that makes me look forward to Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal's continuation of the Brokeback Frontier is nothing more than that, so why bother.
The most anticipated thing recently is "Sucker Punch"! Weak loli virtual world incarnation of violent angels to break through the level - this gimmick is attractive enough! I'm looking forward to her because this kind of storyline seems bizarre, but it's very similar to our life - dark tone, every time there are difficulties to overcome, like a game of leveling. I like games, just want to have a good toss in this place where you can afford to lose! What so ever! Not to mention the name Sucker Punch is very relieved to read. The film will be released in North America in the past two days and will be released in HK at the end of the month. Be sure to check it out!
