Good-looking cult film, the story is relatively simple, the religious atmosphere is strong, the setting is novel and interesting, but the grass and stones are not traced to the source, which is a bit regretful. The wavy and boundless grasses have brought a sense of tranquility and depression from the beginning of the film, the sky is constantly dimming, and the right direction has not been found in the dense grass, and the rendering of anxiety is very deep. For the understanding of the cycle setting, I personally think that several time and space coexist and constantly intersperse. The exhortations from a certain choice of Becky to reach the end are passed on and off to another time and space. I can’t help but think of the butterfly effect and the happy anniversary of death, constantly choosing the cycle of rebirth. , Then the importance of eliminating reincarnation is far greater than the rules and settings of reincarnation itself. The Three Wise Men mentioned in the film should refer to the Three Doctors of the East, which comes from the Bible. When Jesus was born, a star appeared in the sky towards Bethlehem. Under its guidance, three astrological wizards (original Persian) came to Jesus' birthplace and offered gifts. Becky and her womb refer to the Virgin and the Holy Child. The Virgin Mary embraces Jesus like a scene in a painting. Jesus is the son of God and sacrificed himself in order to save mankind, and the sacrifice is the mankind's atonement for salvation and forgiveness from God. In a certain time and space, Becky completed her childbirth in the grass, and the murals on the stone showed scenes of female childbirth and the killing of babies (some of the murals flashed past and I didn’t see it clearly). It can be seen that babies are important living sacrifices and are fed by flesh and blood. The hub in the grass, Becky ate her child in a certain story line, does it imply that this stone refers to the role of mother? In the end, reincarnation was broken. Jarvis touched the stone and sent little Tobin out of the bushes, at the cost of symbiosis with the bushes to break the cycle. Little Tobin returned to the beginning of the story and saved Becky and Carl. In Samsara, the two extreme settings are also Rose and Tobin. They both touched stones and were infused with ideas, but they became representatives of both good and evil. Others are just as willing to be puppets of stones. What exactly the stone is, like the materialization of ideas, or the erosion of evil, but the door to the grass is in the church, and the church points to purification. In Silent Hill, the church is the only secluded place that can escape the long night, so After little Tobin leaves the bushes, the door to reality is the church. I always think that the grass should be traced to the source, so that the thickness of history will be used as a basis, and the film will be more interesting. (Personal humble opinion, Kong is you right)
