The most terrifying thing about "Blindfolded" is to face the inner demon. Although the film borrows elements of Crusoe, I would rather understand the meaning of driving people crazy as everyone sees their inner demon. Everyone has something that they are so afraid of that they can't hold themselves back. They may be some terrifying scenes we have experienced, and now they are pushed to the front after being extremely rendered, and there is no way to avoid them. , About the tragedies that will happen in the future, it depicts the chaotic assumption that exists in our minds, and it is impossible to extricate itself. Horror has a captivating charm, tearing eyeballs, blood and tears bursting, until the last moment, we looked at the people around us and couldn't say a word. Only people who have no painful memories in their hearts, fools who can't figure out the meaning of things, and lunatics who are confused can be spared.
The “spiritual body”’s way of killing is to fight with people’s subjective consciousness. The most direct way is to directly project terror onto human’s eyeballs, disturbing consciousness, sealing words, and making them crazy; the other way is a little bit more complicated, Through hearing, through the call of your loved ones to you, command your brain and open your eyes. The reason why the heroine does not name the two children is to avoid this kind of intimate and referential call that can shorten the distance.
The heroine is as clever as Odysseus's skills in dealing with the one-eyed monster Polyphemus, telling it his name is "Nobody", and when the monster calls for his companions, he shouts "Nobody hurts me" !
Isn't the thread that the heroine carries with you the same thread that the Greek boy Theseus, who walked into the Crete labyrinth to assassinate the Minotaur, tied it at the entrance of the labyrinth to prevent him from getting lost?
The bird in the Bird box full of thematic meanings that was brought on the boat has been following the hostess and her family to be alert to the approaching danger, just like Noah in the era of the Great Flood in the Hebrew Bible, 40 and 7 days after the flood subsided. The released dove that brought back the olive branch symbolizes the hope of new life.
The charm of the film is not only because of these rich meanings, but also because it forces you to think about some issues, such as the girl's biological mother entrusting the child to the heroine before the child is born, and she can have a premonition of her weakness in character. To fight against this disaster, she admitted that her cowardice came from being pampered by her relatives since childhood. On the other hand, as a single mother, the heroine has her own hobbies and professions, does not depend on men for everything, has clear goals, acts decisively, and has a strong heart. Women's cowardice is mostly shaped by the outside world, but cowardice should not be related to intelligence. Blind kindness without judgment can only be the scourge of disaster, especially in dangerous and emergency times. In films directed by female directors, in the face of disasters, redemption will always depend on their own intelligence and self-improvement.
