Is it because Anna's father played the role of Uncle Hugh, who changed from a victim to an assailant, locking up the suspect for lynching?
Or because one of the killers with the pendant around his neck was dumped by a priest and turned into a mummified corpse in the basement?
Or was it because Anna's father was also imprisoned in a dungeon to die in the end?
What is the connection between the image of the "prisoner" and the Lord's Prayer that appears several times in the film, is it alluding to hell. ,,, After watching this film, I feel a little bit of a sequelae of madness.
This case is not so much solved by the police as it is more accurate to say that the audience understands it by themselves. The fact that the child is finally saved is somewhat accidental. The way things are presented is like a documentary. In order to enhance the sense of reality, the director uses a particularly uncomfortable rhythm without sympathy, and tortures the nerves of the audience for two and a half hours.
I wanted to give up a few times in the middle, but after thinking about it, let’s see to the end. However, I have to admit that the filming is quite stylish, which makes people feel uncomfortable. There are a few Korean crime movies, and after watching it, I feel very depressed and want to turn the table. Are you sure the prisoner story isn't really an extended version of an episode in the "Criminal Minds" series?
Where did the FBI task force go? Perverted thinking is not an excellent but ordinary police can understand after all...
Here is the part I understand:
About 26 years ago, the son of the Jones and his wife died of cancer, and since then they have started kidnapping and killing other people's children, thinking that This is revenge on God. A child named Barry who was originally kidnapped was left behind and renamed Alex. In order to make Alex obedient, Jones gave him some homemade potion that made Barry mentally retarded, and his IQ stayed at the age of 10, but at least he survived.
Jones likes to play through the maze, and every time he ties the children, in order to appease them, he takes out a self-made maze map and tells them that they can go home after they have solved them all. Children who have experienced kidnapping, even if not killed, may develop psychosis in adulthood due to psychological trauma. The man in the film who imitates the kidnapping process according to a book and keeps drawing a maze on the wall is a certain child who was kidnapped by Jones as a child.
Five years ago, Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones had a big fight. He approached the pastor, confessed to the crime of killing 16 children, and told the pastor that he would continue to hunt children. The priest believed that his actions were declaring war on God, and that he, as God's servant, had the right to execute blasphemers, so he subdued Jones and threw him in the basement to starve to dry. It wasn't until five years later that Jones' mummified body was discovered because of the kidnapping of Anna and Joey.
After Jones disappeared, it was very difficult for his wife to continue kidnapping children by herself, so she had to give up temporarily. When Alex brought Anna and Joey to her, the old witch must have been overjoyed that she could continue to sacrifice to the devil again.
On Thanksgiving, Anna and Joey wanted to go back to Joey's house after finding the whistle, but Alex asked them to play in the RV. I don't know what he said, and the two little girls were fooled into the car. Then there was the kidnapping case, and then there was a series of events that followed. There is a scene in the film where snakes are rampant on the floor. Anyone who knows a little about the Bible probably understands what a snake is.
Other details are not clear, such as how the police found the priest in the first place, and what does Alex mean to Uncle Hugh when he said "I just wanted to play, but he didn't come"?
In reality, it happens every day that children are photographed, and most of them are traffickers for profit, but who knows if there are psychopaths like the old witch couple, who capture other people's children and torture them in various ways and then abandon the corpses in the wilderness. Even an adult will disappear in vain when he goes out, and he will never know his life or death. I often see personal tracing notices posted on the fences or telephone poles beside the road, and I never pay much attention to it because it has nothing to do with me. But after watching this film, the next time I see this kind of thing, I may feel a shudder involuntarily.
In the end, I want to say that this story is actually a bit of Stephen King's meaning. It turns out that people are very close to the devil.
