The Chinese name of the mainland version is too watery

Season of the Witch, I don't know why the mainland Chinese name is so persistent in literal translation, it seems particularly uncultured, just looking at the title makes people misunderstand the content of the story. Compared with "Magic Soldier" (Taiwan) / "Doomsday Curse" (Hong Kong), it is much inferior. Is this the name of the movie? !

After reading it, I checked the noun meaning of season: (a certain activity is carried out in a year) season, peak season; (a drama in one place) performance period, stage period; (a series of dramas, movies or TV programs) (of) a show, a gathering; (of fashions, hairstyles, etc.) a popular period of the year. From this, I think that it is normal to translate it as "The Witch's Coming".

It is said that the cost of the film is not too high, so the time of the film is not long, and watching the film of Cage the Great is not enough to watch is a common thing recently. Maybe Cage is getting old and powerless?

The highlights of the movie are still there. This witch is more fun. There are no special poses and props for casting magic, and the effect of casting spells is immediate. What do you think, this witch has a high level? Her main peculiar ability is that she is good at grasping what people care about most in people's hearts. The seemingly strong and indestructible people have different but all weaknesses in their hearts. Through dialogue, she can capture the weakest point of the other party, and then use skills to each break.

The atmosphere of the medieval Western church created by the film once again makes people linger.
