I think this is horror.
I saw a movie called "Master Key" today. It takes patience to finish it in the first 100 minutes, but the excitement also comes from the end. When I saw the heroine picking up a cigarette and lighting it with a lighter, I only felt a breath of cold air coming from the heel. Pull up, go straight to the back, then fight a cold fight, get goose bumps.
The heroine is kind, brave, calm, sensible, and beautiful. She has always been guilty of not getting along with her father because of her rebellion when she was young. As a nurse, she is especially sympathetic to the dying old man. In any case, we can't accept that such a good person is hurt, and even more can't accept that it is precisely these advantages that make her finally enter the trap of the witch. At this point, the above two movies have similarities in the same way.
As an audience, people with different ways of thinking will definitely have a different understanding of the ending, which can be seen from mixed reviews.
Why is this film horrible? I think it is the film that gave us a perspective to re-analyze our soul. Are the good things such as kindness, bravery, calmness, reason, and beauty really beautiful? Why are the more determined people more likely to be hypnotized? It is the beautiful qualities of the heroine that lead her into the situation set by others step by step. Isn't it the way to be deceived in life? The liar uses your kindness, beauty, compassion, and curiosity to deceive you? Perhaps these things that are inherently good are inherently used by bad guys?
Furthermore, will politics, technology, and art escape their fate? Used by bad guys? Have you ever wondered if it is what makes you abandon all the bottom lines and play power tricks? What makes mankind fall into the cruelest slaughter among living things? Suddenly, I thought of the rag doll, the brick scraps, the picture of the black man, and the old man desperately calling for help me out. Many signals were actually given early, but we didn't notice it at the time.
Movies convey a message to us that destruction is not necessarily physical. A boring childhood, a wasted youth, cheap labor, a snail dwelling on the go, and an old age that no one cares about. You are actually living in the game, and the beautiful qualities you possess are the culprits that make you go to ruin.
Science and technology rejuvenate the country, die for the country, immortal, prosperous and strong. When it comes to these, what do you think of? The entire history of mankind is like a movie, human curiosity, human progress, human kindness, everything will eventually explode at the last minute, just like a movie, this will also be the highest part. I think of the Maya’s end of the world saying that the fifth season of human destruction will finally come. This destruction is not the sinking of the continent, it is not covered with ice, it is not a nuclear war, or a flood, but the destruction of the soul.
Thinking of this, shudder.
