From beginning to end, the old man’s acting skills are really good, and the horror tone of the film is brought up by the old man from beginning to end, playing a role of narration and background for the development of the story.
The plot of the story is very full. The deceased patient is a good soul who wants to help Jed’s family. He can only be seen by Jed and will remind Jed’s wife and daughter (by entering the girl’s dream). And remind my wife in reality)
It can also be seen from the movie that European and American countries know how to respect the decisions of others. The old man knew that Jed could not dig out the dead child, but he still chose to respect his decision. He only told the young Jed. In a word: Men are hard-hearted and bear the consequences for what they do.
The first time the old man buried a cat on Indian land was a wrong decision (the old man thought it would not be too bad to bury the animal), and it was up to the male protagonist to bury it (so that all the evil consequences would be borne by the burial person, which can be understood as The old man’s dumping), it indirectly through causality (that is, doing something wrong will inevitably bear the consequences) to attract the male protagonist’s child to be killed by a car (by reasoning through the plot logic). All this old man knows, so he is very self-blame, according to the plot. Certainly, all this is indeed the responsibility of the old man, and no creature can be buried in the land of the Indians after death.
Jed was in grief, killing the cat and resurrecting the child, but his so-called attempt has already led to the death of his wife (the consequences), (the wife was indirectly informed by the ghost that Jade was going to dig out the child’s body to stop Jed Stupid behavior), at this time Jade has lost his reason and disrespects the dead. After killing the child, he chooses to resurrect his wife, but this time the consequences are his own life...
ps: The death of the old man can be understood as: 1. Extend the lethality of the evil spirit child. His death is a coincidence and a plot arrangement. 2. His death was the consequence he would have to bear for misleading Jed to bury the dead cat in Indian land.
Obviously the last pet cemetery has become the family’s own cemetery.
The whole movie has a complete plot and logical reasoning (the most difficult thing in a horror film is to express the unscientific horror through a logical plot. Obviously it is a pure blood film, or a logically weak spirituality. Movie ratings are very low), why did the male protagonist encounter these things? In the final analysis, he moved to this thousand-kill wilderness and made friends like the old man to guide him to do a wrong thing, and he was also wrong. No matter how wrong, you can't wake up, and cause the whole family to be miserable.
In the end, the heroine turned into an evil spirit. The heroine died, but their daughter is still alive. The little boy and the cat died twice. This ending feels a bit messy. What about the physical evil spirit of the wife after death? ? How should a little girl live? These I hope to get answers in the second part. (The evil spirit mother is dying, and the little girl becomes the protagonist). But I looked at the introduction and rating of the second part, and wrote another family's story with the same plot. I moved to a wilderness and met a neighbor. The plot was terrible, so I suggest not to watch it. If there is a sequel to the first plot, I really look forward to telling the truth...
I have seen some film critics saying that death is better than alive. I can’t understand it this way. The deceased will also bring pain (the second time sooner or later), this is a truth derived from the supernatural events of the film, and does not have practical significance. But the realistic truth extracted from it is also an eternal truth that the director wants to tell the audience through this magical thriller: people need to be in awe of natural phenomena like death, and be brave and calm. Face this natural phenomenon.
