This fear, step by step, starts with the war itself. Every once in a while, everyone has to hide in the basement under the sharp alarm. The war ties people to their homes and adds to everyone's anxiety. According to Mrs. Yprashin, this is also the main cause of the wind. Wind is fueled by human anxiety and fear.
Then came the evacuation, one family at a time. Just like forced demolition, an invisible fear makes people consciously leave their homes and businesses. Leave silently, because you can't change these situations. This also contributes to the wind. The characteristic of Eastern ghosts is the balance of yin and yang. When people gradually fade away, yin will gradually be exposed. I saw that there is also Japan in the main creator, which probably means that.
The biggest difference between Western and Eastern ghosts is that Western ghosts are physical ghosts, heaven and hell are all there, and ghosts can also be detected or materialized sooner or later. And the ghosts in the East are all virtual, and heaven and hell are all in the world, and the ghosts are around people only if you can see them.
love craft said that the oldest and strongest emotion of human beings is fear; and the oldest and strongest fear is the fear of the unknown. When something is incomprehensible and indescribable, it is the most frightening. If this film follows the Chinese ghost story, it means that the years of war are full of yin and evil, and people are fleeing. So the ghosts come to collect people. First pick children to start, and then use children to catch adults, taking people's souls for food.
The last foreshadowing I thought Chinese people would understand in seconds: the doll's head is in the house, and the woman's book on the roof means that part of them stays in the building, just like descending with hair. So ghosts can still follow.
