1. When entering the house for the first time, the soldiers are prevented from eating casually (the fire is still cooking, but there is no one, which is doubtful But the soldiers did not move and started to eat and drink)
2. They have a good understanding of the social characteristics and characteristics of werewolves. It is impossible to understand such details without in-depth research on wolves. (Megan is a member of the werewolf family and has lived with them for a long time)
3. He tried to tell Cooper how to kill the werewolves, but he gave up because Cooper was helping the wounded sergeant to take care of his wounds and listened unconsciously
. 4. For the soldiers We especially the male protagonist Cooper has always been unwilling to believe the werewolf theory and felt very frustrated. In fact, it is precisely because they did not want to believe the werewolf theory that they never asked how to kill the werewolf in detail, but just used bullets until they run out of food. Absolutely.
5. I once told the soldiers how lucky you were to meet me, then Ryan said coldly and I thought it was you who met us. (Actually Megan met them but it was a werewolf trap.)
6. Asking what is the probability of Cooper's chances of winning (at the time he was struggling)
7. Facing the hope of escape, piano solo
8. Secretly listening to Cooper and Sergeant’s conversation
9. Misleading soldiers to blow up the barn, wasting ammunition and ruining the last means of transportation.
First of all, Megan was a human before being pierced, and he lived with werewolves and knew well about werewolves. Her role is to be responsible for luring humans to the werewolf's lair at the full moon, and cutting off the way back, making the werewolf hunting easier. In short, Megan is the bait of the werewolf.
Secondly, Megan was being coerced. She had been looking for opportunities to escape, knowing that she had encountered a small team, and at one time thought they could lead her out of danger. And she has been looking for the right time to tell the team how to kill the werewolves and how to escape.
Third, I was very disappointed that the soldiers did not want to believe in werewolves, but rather believed that they were a group of "lunatics without nails." Megan has been looking for an opportunity to tell the truth but no one listens carefully, including the male protagonist Cooper (he basically doesn't believe in werewolves and hates werewolves very much).
Fourth, Megan’s hope from the beginning to the final despair, there are various factors, the fundamental reason is that she found that it is inevitable that she became a werewolf, but the last straw that crushed the camel was the soldiers' treatment of the werewolves. Attitude. When they discovered that werewolves usually exist in human form, the heroine added that but they are good people, they are kind people (can be regarded as a defense against the werewolf or the one who is about to become a werewolf), but the hero said that it is a pity Because I want to kill them all~ Other people have agreed and smashed the family portrait of that family with one hammer. This hammer also completely destroyed Megan's last hope.
It can be said that although the original heroine knew that she was going to become a werewolf, she still really wanted to help the soldiers. Not only did she tell them that there was an off-road vehicle, but she was also very supportive in all aspects of her actions. In particular, she has a glimmer of hope for the hero's attitude towards the sergeant who may become a werewolf. At least in her opinion, Cooper is tolerant. But in the end Cooper shattered her final fantasy. In her opinion, even if she could escape from birth, the world would not tolerate her, she could only kill and then quickly, so she was completely desperate and became a member of the werewolves. .
Megan's last words can be regarded as an accusation against the soldiers who rejected and hated werewolves. "Do you think I like to be like this? Do you think I chose to run with the werewolf? No, I chose you. But you ran out of luck and I didn't have enough time..." When Cooper asked Megan, Megan He once argued that "I never meant to..." but was interrupted mercilessly by Cooper. He satirized Megan as a "new age woman" and said that she was "nonsense." Judging from Cooper's various performances, he was absolutely decisive against Megan who was infected with the werewolf virus. Not only was he alone, but everyone else had the same attitude, so that in the end, the soldier shot Megan through the head without hesitation, saying that someone must help her get rid of it. This is simply ironic.
Megan is a tragedy. She came here to study nature, but she was destined to be trapped here for a lifetime, subject to werewolves; the appearance of the small team ignited her hope, and in the end it was these people who made her hope shattered; she I hope someone can understand her situation, but no one has ever listened attentively; she used to live and die together with the soldiers, but in the end she abandoned these people and was abandoned by them. Even, the last opportunity to argue was not given. she……
Yes, Megan was finally liberated. She was destined to die. It was not that she did not fight against fate, but in the end she failed, not because of fate, but because the team she once trusted had too many human weaknesses.
Take a look at how many stupid mistakes the squad made:
1. Megan said that he drove over after hearing the gunshots, indicating that Megan lived not far from the werewolf's range of activities, so how has she been safe and sound all the time? No one in the team doubted
2. There was no doubt about the empty house on fire, and it was logical that the owner of the house had abandoned it. Use your mind to think that the food is stewed on the fire and it hasn't been dried. It is impossible for the owner to leave for long. And what is the performance of the soldiers? Feel free to eat and drink, not only without tutoring, but also without any sense of crisis. Three-year-olds know that strangers’ candies cannot be eaten casually.
3. Unwilling to face reality, never believe in werewolves, or reluctant to believe, because believing in a legend means that mortals like them cannot kill werewolves, which is tantamount to denying hope. This thought also caused them not to think about the correct way to deal with werewolves. Knowing that machine guns were ineffective, they were still wasting ammunition blindly. Megan once mentioned that she knew how to kill werewolves, but she didn't get attention, and she never asked her again.
4. Let alone the suspicious Ryan, he didn't interrogate him until the end of the film. After the interrogation, he transformed himself. It was almost impossible to ask about it anymore.
5. Although the last off-road vehicle had many problems, at least it could run and drive. They actually used the off-road vehicle to blow up the barn, destroying the Great Wall and breaking the road.
6. I have always believed in the lie that it’s safe at dawn. Didn’t they get attacked during the day before?
7. Megan could see the werewolves in the woods from the window, but they did not observe carefully, they were convinced that the werewolves were in the barn, and rushed to blow up the barn.
8. Without being well-armed, Megan was able to open the door and let the werewolf in because the door was unguarded.
9. In the end, I turned out the silverware, but I didn't make good use of it. It was bullet and hand-to-hand combat.
Megan's disappointment with the squad is not without reason. In front of werewolves, they are not only small, but also have too many loopholes and shortcomings. So Megan abandoned them and chose the werewolf. In Megan's view, these soldiers have too many shortcomings because they underestimate the enemy, are conceited, and lack education. But the important thing is that werewolves are bloodthirsty only because of their natural nature, just like raptor hunting. This is a natural law and a link in the food chain. Can you say that they are immoral? Human beings have long been accustomed to being self-centered. Whatever is good for mankind is beautified, and what is harmful to mankind is demonized. Mankind’s greed for werewolves (attempted to capture and research, and developed into special weapons), and merciless towards werewolves (cut hands, repeatedly attempted to kill them, and finally blasted everyone down. In some respects, the level of cunning was not enough. Inferior to the werewolf’s ambush), and even showed distrust of his companions infected with the werewolf virus (after Ryan’s transformation, some people were also wary of the colonel. Although Cooper did not look at him with strange eyes, the relationship is definitely one aspect. , But the key is because he has been evading this doomed ending and has never faced up to its consequences). In Megan's eyes, the werewolves are "kind and good people" in their usual human form, except when Moon Man transforms. This is repeated several times in the film. If we jump out of the "person-oriented" mentality and watch this movie again, we will have another feeling.
To say that Megan is bad is not always true. She was coerced to do things against her will. She was suffering, conflicted, and looking forward to the appearance of the rescuer, but she was greatly disappointed in the end. From hope to despair, from salvation to depravity, in her own words, following the laws of nature. Is it wrong?
At the end of the film, there is a close-up of the newspaper Express Mail. The World Cup Anglo-German War occupies a large page, and the protagonist Cooper's report describing the werewolf eating his companion is so small that even a cashlined advertisement in the corner is more obvious than it. It's another irony...
Some friends said why not hunt the squad directly in the wild, but cheat into the house. About this, I personally understand it like this:
First of all, the monthly hunt can be regarded as a carnival of werewolves. On the night of the full moon, the werewolves transformed and started their hunting activities. This activity was both a regular predation and a crazy party. Like a party, they have their own venues (farms) and processes (Meghan tricks the prey into the farm). Since it’s a party, there must be a place where the farm naturally becomes the best place. Even the condiments and side dishes (imagine the soup that the team has just entered the door and finds it is still cooking) are all ready-made.
Secondly, Megan is a member of the werewolf, but she is also subject to the werewolf. As I analyzed, Megan also had illusions at first and wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but she was not sure whether the squad in front of her was the real "savior", and she had to investigate before making a decision. At this time, she was definitely conflicted. On the one hand, she had to execute the werewolf’s orders and trick the team into the farm; on the other hand, she wanted to take the opportunity to tell the truth, and work with the team to eliminate the werewolves and escape. . In this conflicting emotional struggle, Meghan must not be able to tell the truth immediately and immediately break with the werewolf. After all, the werewolf is strong, and the team's attitude towards her werewolf accomplices is also obscure. She still wants to execute the werewolf. The task entrusted to her.
Third, the werewolf deceived the team to the farm. It is not difficult to judge from Megan's words that this is the Nth time. Getting prey to the farm is both safe and environmentally friendly. Safety means that accidents are unlikely, such as prey escapes, outsiders breaking in, etc.; environmental protection means that the forest is a werewolf’s home, a hunting ground, and a dining table. No one wants to mess up the house. Werewolves every month A massacre will inevitably flow in blood. It is better to concentrate the prey on the farm, and it is more convenient to clean up at the end.
Fourth, I think the most important point is that to deceive the farm is to satisfy the werewolf's psychology of killing. Just like a cat and mouse game, killing all the prey is easy for the werewolves, but it is more interesting to trick the prey to the base camp and slowly torture and kill. Think about the werewolves going to hunt like this once a month. Over time, it is naturally boring. On the contrary, it will give the prey a little space and give them a little defense. It is more interesting to come to a siege. Besides, they are already in the base camp, and it is difficult to run. The surrounding geographical environment, escape equipment, safe passages, and other werewolves are all clear. The only difference is how long the prey can last. Maybe Megan's selfishness once caused a little difficulty for the werewolf, but fortunately, Megan fell to the werewolf in the end and opened the door. Because the tenacious squad is far more difficult to deal with than the werewolves imagined. After all, organized and equipped soldiers are more resistant than ordinary people. Moreover, many brothers have been killed in this hunt, and the werewolves have no intention to continue. Play with their prey.
