Some questions after reading

The atmosphere and narrative rhythm of the movie are excellent, and the ballads and the plot of the story complement each other, but in the second half I can't help but feel that there are too many loopholes in this trick/conspiracy.

The protagonist is based on a series of personal choices as a sacrifice, and there are too many uncontrollable places for the islanders.

If the protagonist really fell asleep when the finger incense was lit, didn't he miss the ceremony?

If the protagonist didn't choose this way after waking up, for example, by violently interrogating the innkeeper to get the girl's hiding place, wouldn't this conspiracy be exposed?

If the conspiracy fails, it is impossible to sacrifice the original islander Punch, right?

After such a big battle, it seems that we should plan more carefully in order to be safe, right?

Especially, the innkeeper’s daughter in front of him repeatedly seduce him. If the detective can't hold it, will he be allowed to leave?

    This wicker prison is so cool

    Virgin Fool, the story of a Tang monk who finally became a qualified Tang monk after 9981 hardships. PS, it's really anti-religion at all.

The Wicker Man quotes

  • Miss Rose: You are the fool, Mr. Howie. Punch, one of the great fool-victims of history. For you have accepted the role of king for a day. And who but a fool would do that? But you will be revered and anointed as a king. You will undergo death and rebirth. Resurrection, if you like. The rebirth, sadly, will not be yours, but that of our crops.

    Sergeant Howie: I am a Christian. And as a Christian, I hope for resurrection. And even if you kill me now, it is I who will live again, not your damned apples.

  • Lord Summerisle: Welcome, fool. You have come of your own free will to the appointed place. The game is over.

    Sergeant Howie: Game? What game?

    Lord Summerisle: The game of the hunted leading the hunter. You came here to find Rowan Morrison, but it is we who have found you and brought you here and controlled your every thought and action since you arrived. Principally, we persuaded you to think that Rowan Morrison was being held as a sacrifice because our crops failed last year.

    Sergeant Howie: I know your crops failed. I saw the harvest photograph.

    Lord Summerisle: Oh, yes. They failed, all right. Disastrously so. For the first time since my grandfather came here. The blossom came, but the fruit withered and died on the bough. That must not happen again this year. It is our most earnest belief that the best way of preventing this is to offer to our god of the sun and to the goddess of our orchards the most acceptable sacrifice that lies in our power.
