There is a little bit of a high-end version of "The Ninth Door". I have watched a lot of movies about antichrist and satan recently, but this one is the most complete and entertaining, no matter it is the suspenseful rhythm or the number of reversals and scenes. Arrangement (the empty street is a bit like "The Matrix" and "Inception"), the characterization of characters (the protagonist and the demon played by Al), the selection of metaphors and elements (lawyer as an entry point, etc.), the introduction of thinking ...all give people a very rich and multi-layered experience. I had an impression before that Keanu Reeves was chased by a strange fire. It may be another movie, this time it is a Devil theme, although it is a bit routine (New York, human hearts in a large and complex building, emotions, lust, fear, desire, etc.) Such as lust), but the scene is shocking enough, the interweaving of various elements is enough to tell the story swayingly, the final fire seems to have burned all the foreshadowings, and back to the beginning of the destiny, the invasion of the devil is still inevitable, and the evil will not stop. Always try to get into people's lives. There is a question to think about: whether the evil and misfortune of people are the participation of the devil or the spiritual activities of the people. According to science, people's emotions and the behaviors they control are affected by two factors: oneself and the objective environment, but according to the logic in religion, it can be divided into two types, one is human logic (the logic of defending oneself, The logic of God's side), the devil uses everything to provoke human beings to tempt human beings, create opportunities for evil, grab a hand on key emotions, kink misfortune together, and understand the logic of the "enemy" (that is, God) well ("Bible") , using all the beautiful pretense to reveal the ugly side of people, so that people do not realize their own mistakes when they make mistakes, and after the event they still protect people like a lawyer. According to the logic of the devil, God represents restrictions and rules, giving people intuition but not allowing them to use them or giving them opportunities. He is the future. But there is a final twist in the film. The devil is believed to be in a fiery hell, and God mercifully gives a second chance. This setting is the origin of religion's self-talk, but both of them prove God's upward goodness ( misnomer). On the one hand, there are excuses made by man and God’s requirement for man to take responsibility for himself; on the other hand, there is the pervasiveness of the devil (outside) and the existence of a second chance given by God. The complex relationship accommodates man’s emotions. According to the scientific explanation method, everything seems to make sense, except that people lack the retreat (of course, the retreat also exists in the deduction of the brain's extreme activity). In short, the loopholes are like holes, which exist in front of the eyes, but it is difficult for people to see them.
In the end, I watched it in the dark, and there was a stove next to it for charging, which can be said to have deliberately created an atmosphere. Interesting moment of the night, but also a satirical holiday summary (a touch of melancholy and unwilling to admit emptiness). contradiction.
