I feel that Kunimura Hayabusa should be some kind of existence between humans and demons, so he also has a real body and magic (evil power), but he should be in a kind of change in the state. An analysis that I have seen is that Guo and Huang are the sacrificers of evil spirits. They take the villagers of Gucheng as living sacrifices to sacrifice to evil spirits, but this process requires the following steps. The first is Take a certain token of a living person, and use this token as a starting point to start casting a curse. Second, as soon as a living person is hooked by the curse, he will start to get sick all over his body, grow small pimples, and then his temper will change drastically, as if possessed by an evil spirit. At this time, it is not yet possessed by evil spirits, but there is a potential danger of hurting others (the little girl stabbed the old grandma next door with scissors), the third family feels that something is not right, and invites the mage to come, and Huang is obviously more famous in this area. Invite him to come, and he will use the name of exorcism and exorcism to attract the ghost master of evil spirits. Until this time, the victim will be possessed by evil spirits. After the fourth victim is possessed, he will basically make a big mistake. Killing the whole family, etc., they committed a crime, the soul involuntarily slipped into the devil's land, and the gods couldn't save it. Fifth, Guo and Huang came to take pictures. Taking pictures should be to suck the victim away. Soul, the victim who has been photographed becomes a zombie without a soul and only a body. There is no reason to die in this state. Sixth, the only way for the zombie to die finally is for Guohe Huang to make a final sacrifice for the last time. , at this time, it is a complete sacrifice to the devil with human sacrifices. For what, we don’t know, maybe Guohe Huang will become more powerful every time he succeeds, or he will gradually become the devil himself. Anyway, the reason is not something on earth, and the director does not bother to repeat it. It is the space of our own imagination.
But in this process, there is a resistance, that is, the role of Qian Yuxi, the local god of earth in Gucheng village.
The character also seems to find different ways to deal with the two intruders during each sacrifice. For example, the first two times she may not have thought of entering the body of the victims to protect them, but in the case of the little girl, according to the director's intention, the god of earth entered the body of the girl to protect her when Huang Zhengmin did it, maybe because the girl He is innocent, so he can simply approach it. Therefore, Huang Zhengmin's two practices, the first one was the practice of possession, but he found it useless and could not get in. He found that the little girl had a kind of divine power to protect her, so in the second practice, he mainly targeted the soil. God, this is clearly understandable, because he is cutting a pillar, this pillar is obviously the totem of the protector of the Korean village folk religion, and Huang is nailing this pillar with nails, which means destroying the god. But it doesn't seem to be successful here, and I don't know how to explain this place (begging for high people) (personal explanation is that there is a peeping shot of the earth god when the waterfall is preparing to practice evil power, maybe it implies something), it seems that the earth god passes through In some way, the attack on the earth god was transferred to Kunimura Hayabusa who was making the last sacrifice to the previous victim (Park Chunbae), so Kunimura Hayabusa finally seemed to be in pain and weakness, unable to finish the last spell. This is why Park Chunpei finally turned into a zombie, and several people couldn't do it. Kunimura Falcon died as soon as he arrived, and the protagonist Zhong Jiu died in the hospital. The zombie at the beginning of that movie. And the country that was obviously attacked by Huang's spell became a very weak state at this time, a bit meaning to return to human form, a few people had to run away, halfway through the run and cried in pain, the mana was weak , became flesh.
The last part of the movie unfolds here. The flesh country sees the earth god in the jungle and understands why everything happened, so he has to bet once, what to bet, and what to bet on is the faith of the protagonist. He ran down the mountain, used his body as a sacrifice, rammed into the car of Zhong Jiu and his mates, and then bet that they would throw his body in the wilderness and see him die. Sure enough, they did the same thing, the only one who did this. The reason is that they have always believed that the country is a ghost, although there is no direct evidence, but the suspicion is so great that there is no need for any evidence. Such deep suspicion itself is guilty. Zhong Jiu finally completed his "sin" with actions. He murdered. In theory, the country at this time is indeed a human being, but this is not important. He murdered because of doubt. And hide his sins, like Cain who killed Abel. This is also the place with the most Christian elements. The earth gods see everything, so there is no way or reason to protect their family. At least there is no way to protect them directly. Because your belief is less, you are farther away from God. The heavier your sins, Cain's punishment is that there is no possibility of direct communication with God. Even if he is still alive, life is not as good as death, and he will be a sinner all his life. There is no way to protect it directly, but at least it can be protected indirectly. Just put flowers at the door of the house to catch the evil spirits who enter the door. The previous murder cases probably implied that this skull flower is the worst strategy of the earth god, and it is usually used in the end. . But this flower works must be in a sinless situation, so the earth god won't let Zhongjiu go home, and the gambler evil overturned him again with suspicion through the phone Huang gave him, and he also did wrong Therefore, when I got home, I saw a situation where the whole family died violently. This is also a very "movie-like" treatment. Through different choices, the ending that the protagonist sees may also be very different.
The movie is definitely very Christian, and this worldview is basically a very Christian story between a land and a spirit. The way of the god of earth is very god-style. Some people ask why the god of earth is so powerful and doesn’t directly kill the two bastards, because gods will not directly intersect with evil. The relationship between people and the world is this, you either choose evil, or Choose good, believe or not, faith will save you, if you don’t believe, you will perish, but the basic free will is for you, you choose it yourself, God and the devil exist at the same time, and neither will perish. Valley City can be compared to a world, the people of the world are suffering, but why? You don’t know, you can’t say that God is not benevolent, tell this woman not to rape, let the Iraqis go to death, and let American Christians be killed by terrorists. These are all manifestations of God’s incompetence or lack of God, which means you don’t understand Christianity The true meaning of Christian theology is more like a hermeneutics of the world than just some simple belief. The director also meant the same thing. He would be victimized. He couldn't figure out why ordinary people would be killed and suffer. Why? The director doesn't know either. What he wants to show in the film of more than 150 minutes with Cry is the struggle, doubt, love, all human things of people in this unknown situation...
