The Devil in the Elevator still makes sense for the bad guy to survive

I sometimes face some tragic scenes in cold blood, and tell the people around me that there must be something to hate about poor people, whether they are facing a weak baby or a kind old man. It is said in the movie that demons often incarnate as adults to harm people. There is a joke that God finally brought you together, is it easy for him to be an old man?

An old lady, a security guard, a beautiful woman, a strong man, a salesman, they are all the characters in the elevator, a group of people with fate; to see the true nature of a person, you must be in the face of crisis or temptation, everything else is nonsense At the beginning, they were polite and polite under the dogma of the elegant society, and they lived on various tracks in accordance with the rules.

There is a saying that ridicules people, only at the gambling table and on the bed can show the true colors of people, and the human nature catwalk without cover is very real.

It doesn't matter what you wear, what gorgeous business cards and labels, we all eat, drink and sleep in a closed elevator where life and death are at stake. The taste of the sprinkles is more fragrant. It is said that people in the bathhouse are the most equal to talents. When encountering people with fish tattoos, they are just ruining the blood and essence given by their parents. Who is responsible for whom? You are responsible for yourself. That's it.

Since the first woman was injured in the elevator, some dullness and unease began to spread, but after all, everyone maintained a relative calm, and some ridicule and self-confidence remained. Who would think of themselves as the next unlucky person? I'm afraid no one thinks so.

Before danger, people's sixth sense is the worst, far inferior to that of animals. No tears without seeing the coffin, the saying goes well.

The first person to be killed was a salesman. This man who was guarded and scorned by everyone became an unlucky man. Now everyone in the elevator began to panic, and began to take off their mental jackets to reveal their underwear. The test officially started.

I think of the salt shortage that year. Just one rumor made the whole country surging up and down, like a woman injured in an elevator. There are so many things. If someone else grabs an extra bag, you will lose a bag. Fatal, let’s talk about it first, we need to replace the salt with food. It’s only a matter of life and death. The surveillance staff who saw the clues were very frightened and told the detective that it was a gathering of the devil.

So mutual suspicion and hostility filled a small space, anyone could be the murderer, don't you want to justify it? Who knows if you go to the supermarket to snatch salt, even if you just want to buy a button, let’s be suspicious first, even if someone in the elevator volunteered to find an escape route for everyone, but was dragged back by everyone, what should you do if you run away alone? So people in the elevator died tragically one after another, and as suspicions were broken one by one, new suspicions were locked in among the narrowed people.

The ending of the movie is actually quite magical. The director placed a god of death among the people and controlled everyone's lives. The clues the detective got was that there was no good person in the elevator, so the god of death let them die one by one, and died in suspicion and fighting. Only one bad guy survived, the hit-and-run who killed the detective's entire family. In the end, after he sincerely repented, he was helplessly spared by the god of death. Facing the murderer of his wife and son, the detective finally forgave him as well.

The deep imprint of Christ in the film cannot be ignored. Sincere repentance can gain God's favor, ascend to heaven, and gain eternal life. "We don't believe in the devil, we don't need the devil, because man is bad enough" The detective hated the fleeing man when he said this, but in the end he played the role of God.

"I really want to take you away." The vicious God of Death had to put down the sickle and spare the bad guy's life because of his last repentance.

Regardless of whether the film represents Jehovah or Mohammed or Sakyamuni, the final point remains the same: "Don't worry, if there is a devil, there must be a God."

    Ramirez: [voiceover] After my mother would finish her story, she would always comfort us. "Don't worry," she'd say. "If the Devil is real, then God must be real, too."

  • [first lines]

    Ramirez: [voiceover] When I was a child, my mother would tell me a story about how the Devil roams the Earth. Sometimes, she said, he would take human form so he could punish the damned on Earth before claiming their souls. The ones he chose would be gathered together and tortured as he hid amongst them, pretending to be one of them. I always believed my mother was telling me an old wives' tale.
