"Family Misfortune" is More Appropriate——Feelings from "Hereditary Misfortune"

It is said that there is a horror film that will go down in history this year, and both professional filmmakers and audiences will applaud it. The film is "Hereditary Doom".

The film tells the story of an old man from a cult organization who, in order to achieve a certain benefit, pulls all his family members into the organization and then sacrifices for the organization.

The details of the film are in place, and the logic is basically flawless. More importantly, the film is actually different from the previous horror films by using so-called supernatural ghosts and even bloody cruelty to create the atmosphere-perhaps after watching the film, there are not many impressive scenes, but the whole story makes the film more interesting. People have endless aftertastes and can't be calm for a long time.

Whether it is the heroine who is lost in sleepwalking and reality, cults and life, or the heroine husband who has been integrating a family that has been torn apart, or the powerless son who cannot escape the fate of the family from beginning to end, or the short-lived who was bound by the curse at birth Daughter... After all, everyone can't get rid of the "destiny" that the old man in the family has already arranged.

The so-called hereditary bad luck is more from a physiological point of view and is a "natural disaster"; while family bad luck is more from the perspective of blood and clan, and is a "man-made disaster". The film actually shows more "man-made disasters". The contradictions and tensions between people in the family are all "man-made disasters". Especially in the dinner scene in the film, it can be said that the psychological state of everyone in the family after losing their daughter is inspired and displayed, such as sadness, helplessness, disappointment, distrust...

In fact, around our lives, some poor people are actually more or less troubled by family misfortune. When you are born in a criminal family, it is difficult to get rid of bad habits; when you live in a family that believes in pyramid selling cults, you are often forced to be involved in the abyss; when you are surrounded by alcoholism, drug trafficking, smuggling and fighting, you have to arm yourself with violence... …

Although everyone in the film has tried to fight and get rid of the bad luck left to them by the family, they have found it to be in vain. This is the real horror of the film, and it is also worth savoring.

    Horrifyingly overrated.

    It was so loud in the early stage, but after watching it, it was piajipiaji. The daughter is really horrible as long as she stands there, and she has contributed to a horror scene. But the female lead is too much, what can she do by staring at her? Music is hateful at first, and she becomes even more noisy when she yells! I have been wondering whether every small house in the miniature museum in Taipei is also a house with a story (stop!) and playing with my tongue. I'm pretty good at playing with my tongue. After that, I won't play anymore...

Hereditary quotes

  • Annie: I just need you to go and see upstairs. Please, Steve. And then... there's more.

    Steve: You mean, more than your mother's headless body? Of course there is.

  • Annie: My name is Annie. My mom died a week ago. So I'm just here for... trying it. I have a lot of resistance to things like this, but I came to these a couple of years ago. Well, I was forced to come and I guess it, um... I guess it helped. So, um... My mom was old, and she wasn't all together there at the end. And we were pretty much estranged before that, so it really wasn't a huge blow. But I did... love her. And she didn't have an easy life. She had DID which became extreme at the end. And dementia. And my father died when I was a baby from starvation, um... because he had psychotic depression and he starved himself, which I'm sure was just as pleasant as it sounds. And then there's my brother. My older brother had schizophrenia, and when he was 16, he hanged himself in my mother's bedroom and of course his suicide note blamed her, accusing her of putting people inside him. So... that was my mom's life... .And then she lived in our house at the end, before hospice. We weren't even talking before that. I mean, we were, and then we weren't. And then we were. She's completely manipulative. Until my husband finally enforced a no-contact rule. Which lasted until I got pregnant with my daughter. I didn't let her anywhere near me when I had my first, my son, which is why I gave her my daughter, who she immediately stabbed her hooks into. And I just... I felt guilty again. I felt guilty again. When she got sick, not that she was really even my mom at the end, and not that she would ever feel guilty about anything. And I just don't want to put any more stress on my family. I'm not even really sure if they could... could give me that support. And I just... I just feel like... I just sometimes feel like it's all ruined. And then I realize that I am to blame. Or not that I'm to blame, but I am blamed!..."
