Creepy cult

First of all, I sigh with emotion that the big cousin still has a face.

Then it is stated that many scenes in the film still cause discomfort. Cut the throat, let the blood, drink the blood, half a man, a meat grinder. As a flower of the motherland of the celestial dynasty, seeing these are really hairy on the back. In recent years, more and more works of these cult themes in the United States have been seen, ranging from the fear of beauty to the genetic doom of the previous period. Of course, many people like to watch these exciting works. But for me, the splash of plasma already makes me feel sick.

Secondly, the rhythm of this film is not procrastinated, and a complete story of a world view needs to be laid out in the plot. Including dating couples and doctors, they are all indispensable. At the same time, the protagonist voluntarily entered the cult island, reminding me whether we will enter a Chinese-style cult-an MLM organization someday. Learning the survival method of the protagonist may be useful in the future.

The desert island film reminds me of a great drama that was popular in China some time ago. But Huang Bo's movies are much more harmonious. But the distortion of human nature and the cause of desire are very similar. In contrast, I think a good play is better portrayed. Cults, cults, in the final analysis are to expose the evils of human nature. The false prophet is evil, and the arrogant father is evil, but the director is more telling stories instead of meticulously portraying people's hearts.

Finally, I emphasize a digression: Don't trust others so easily, just trust yourself. It is not terrible to have no faith, to regard yourself as your own god. There are no real prophets, truths, and philosophies, but they are just brainwashing tools. Nowadays, there are still many people who regard the paradise described by the prophet as their own pursuit. Communism is just an idea, and comrades still need to work hard.

  • Prophet Malcolm: [fervently to his congregation] Where is the land which has no call for wars? Hmm? Arms? Money? Nor taxes? Well, that land is here. No tax-gatherer's bill shall ever threaten our church door! We, I tell thee, we... we are free men.

  • Thomas Richardson: The promise of the Divine is but an illusion. Nothing in this world is pure... except for Jennifer, my sister.
