After many years, I still remember the shock and panic brought to me by the first time I watched "Death Comes 1". After reading Nietzsche's works on the poeticization and strengthening of the will of life, the will of life stood tall. And the arrival of "Death is Coming" seems to strip away all the glaze in life at once, and the high pole collapsed suddenly, giving the complacent human beings a fierce ridicule. The god of death poked lightly with the sharp blade of death, and all the fables about happiness and joy disappeared in an instant like bright soap bubbles under the beautiful lie of the sun. In my ear was John Down's murmur, "Whoever dies, a part of himself dies. Because I am included in the concept of human beings, I never ask for whom the death knell is tolling, it is for I'm also for you."
As some film critics have said, the director of "Death Come 4" is completely caught in the quagmire of "new ways to die", and without the torture of chronic death, people will eventually have Once we die, this is a barrier that none of us can escape from, but the chronic torture before death that is more terrifying than death itself is a life experience that you and I do not have. In "Death Comes 5", the director returns to the narrative mode in "Death Comes 1", namely "death in order" and "if the deceased is rescued, the order of death will be skipped" and the doomed "round" at the end of the film The anti-climax of a new round to continue after the end, which greatly slows the pace of everyone's death and gives us the pleasure of continuation.
Under the director's deliberate hints and suspense settings, we see the characters enter every familiar story scene in our lives. In a subtle action, life is suddenly reversed and death comes suddenly. In "Death Comes 5" I personally like Isaac Palmer's way of death very much. He broke through the death patterns we expected one after another, but was finally hit in the head by Maitreya Buddha. Thinking of his disrespect to Maitreya when he entered the massage room, we, as the audience, could not help but laugh. Perhaps, this is a hint to us who have lost our awe. Perhaps the awe of the common people and the gods is itself a respect for the nature of life.
Of course, Peter's revenge against Jasmine is also quite remarkable, showing the crazy revenge against others while the soul is being crushed. The evil of human nature grows wildly in the dark night, and the rationality is fragile.
At the end of the film, it is still the ruthless death spell - no matter how you escape, people will inevitably die. Since you can't grasp tomorrow, then cherish the present, perhaps this is the essence of the title of "Death is Coming".
