From the perspective of horror and suspense films, this "In the High Grass" is very cleverly conceived, and all the clues are hidden lines, which need to be understood and discovered by the audience, so if you don’t understand it, you will be very confused and feel completely incomprehensible. , But if you can understand all the clues given by the director, it will feel like a sudden realization.
From the perspective of religious films, this film is still the basic core of Christianity, that is, if people cannot complete the atonement, they will fall into hell. If you want to escape from hell, you must complete the purification from the depths of the soul, that is, self-salvation. There are two basic conditions for self-salvation: one is sincere confession, and the other is self-sacrifice.
A blind trick was used at the beginning of the film. What is the relationship between these 6 people? Are they really two families? This is the first clue. Beck and Carl, one looks so dark, a bit of Indian origin, and the other is obviously white. If these two are brothers and sisters, unless they are genetic mutations. And Tobin is blond, father Rose has dark brown hair, and mother Natalie has black hair. This is obviously an error reported by the hospital, right? So these 6 people are not the relationship that seems on the surface at all, they are not the so-called husband and wife, brother and sister, father and son.
The second clue of the film is where are they? Crows, flies, maggots, and grass turned into human flesh, what can you think of? That's right, it's the cemetery! So these 6 people should have died in the real world. They were thrown into hell because of the sins they committed during their lifetime. For the dead, time is meaningless, so time in the tall grass is actually relatively static and closed. cycle. The film has always emphasized that the grass does not move dead objects. In fact, it implies that they have been buried. The body cannot move. Only the soul can move in the grass.
To put it simply, the grass is actually a sandbox. The 6 of them were taken to the entrance of the sandbox because of the sins committed during their lifetime, and their memories were erased. The sandbox will simulate the scene of his crimes during his lifetime, if they are instinctive or remaining The human nature can correct the mistakes made during their lifetime and sincerely repent, they can complete the sandbox test, ascend to heaven or reincarnate, otherwise when they are killed or committed suicide in the sandbox, all conditions will be reset and the cycle repeats. . The black stone in the grass represents your memory. When you touch the black stone, you will recover your memory, knowing your sins and the sandbox clearance conditions, but it is equivalent to cheating. If the conditions are met, the level cannot be cleared. You can only commit suicide to reset. Memory comes again. The church outside the bushes is called "The Redeemer's Blackstone Church", which actually implies this, and it must be true self-redemption to leave the bushes.
So, after Rose and Tobin touched Blackstone, why did they always induce others to touch Blackstone? Some people say that the soul is controlled by the black stone and blackened. My understanding is that they restored their memory after touching the black stone. Seeing that they failed to pass the level one by one, they felt that they could not pass by instinct. I'm a backer, no one wants to go out if I can't go out, so I have to lure others to touch the black stone and trigger others' cheating conditions.
As for the sins committed by everyone, that is, the customs clearance conditions, the film actually has hints.
Ross is a real estate broker, and his best skill is to promote sales with rhetoric. This is vividly reflected when he induces others to touch Blackstone. From the conversation between him and Natalie, we can also speculate that he raped and killed his own female client. It was Beck in the sandbox, and he happened to be seen by his wife, but instead of confessing to his wife, he chose to kill his wife and kill his mouth. Therefore, his sin was the deepest, and the customs clearance conditions were actually the most complicated. He touched the memory of him. I was totally desperate, so I chose to give up on myself and simply drag everyone into the water.
There are only two clues for Natalie. One is that the bag on her waist is full of medicine and wine bottles, and the other is that "husband" Rose complains that she is delirious all day long and can't even look good with a child, so it is speculated that she It should be alcohol and drug use that indirectly killed his own children.
There are only two clues to Tobin. One is that "Dad" Rose said that he never listened to adults. When he entered the bushes, Rose warned him not to touch strangers or talk to strangers, and the other was that he witnessed Carl kill Javie. Si, so it is speculated that he ran away from home, hit the murder scene and was killed?
Jarvis's clue is simple. He should have encouraged his girlfriend to have an abortion for his own dream, which is equivalent to killing his own child.
Carl's clue is also obvious. He has a fetishism, loves his own sister, and is jealous of his sister's boyfriend. An accident happened to his boyfriend when he was out. Carl could have saved his boyfriend, but he chose to let go and kill him.
Becky's clues are more cryptic. Judging from Becky's dark complexion, it implies that she is actually of Indian descent, and India has a legal industry that has to complain about surrogacy mothers. Judging from the conversation that Rose wanted to have a relationship with her in the grass, she actually gave birth to a white family as a surrogate. Rose feeds her the flesh and blood of her own child, which actually implies that she makes money by selling the child through surrogacy.
So these 6 people actually have no relationship in real life. They are infused with specific memories by Blackstone after death, and can only be reincarnated after passing the sandbox test. They are divided into 3 groups. As for which group is advanced sandbox, it doesn't matter at all, the important thing is to complete the atonement. Therefore, what Rose said before strangling Carl to death was actually very meaningful. He said that Carl felt that he was choosing to go left or right. In fact, he had no choice at all, but kept making the same choice towards himself (also It's hell). In the bushes, Becky had called to remind Carl not to hurt Jarvis, otherwise he would commit the same sins forever, but Carl didn’t understand Becky’s words at all, so he chose to let Jarvis fall to death and lie to Becky. To say that Jarvis will come in a while is actually repeating his sins during his lifetime.
Did the 3 people at the end of the film pass the game successfully? I don’t think so. Although Bech and Carl, who were reset under Tobin’s reminder, did not enter the bushes, they did not reach the clearance conditions. Carl did not admit his sister-in-law, nor did he choose to save "brother-in-law" Jarvis. . Becky also did not admit the fact that he sold the child through surrogacy, but implicitly said that he once wanted to send the child to an "adoptive family." As for Tobin, I feel that he should stay and wait for his parents instead of getting in the car of the "stranger" Karl...
The most promising one is actually Jarvis. Jarvis’s nature is not bad. When the reset Ross family did not enter the bushes, he kindly reminded them not to enter the bushes. After entering the bowling alley, he sincerely asked "girls". "My friend" Becky confessed that he was a scumbag. In the end, he was willing to sacrifice himself to redeem his sins and sent the "child" Tobin out of the tall grass, but because he touched the black stone and triggered cheating, he couldn't pass the level this time. ...
