The once despised eldest daughter

On the meaning of the eldest daughter at home. Serious spoilers.

As the eldest daughter, her main duties are to take care of her younger siblings and housework. Following such a traditional concept, the film introduced an unqualified eldest daughter. The problem is, she is not disqualified, just something happened, so that her relatives judged her "disqualified".

The youngest baby is innocent, will his parents, including this sister, be a little annoying to him. Let me introduce her family first, who were expelled from the plantation because her father was a Puritan. Enduring starvation and freezing, the family huddled in a grass hut. The big ones can't get enough to eat, let alone the babies who are waiting to be fed. Then, in broad daylight, the eldest sister took this little brother and put him on the haystack to tease him, and the little brother disappeared.

Next is the eldest brother, about seven or eight years old. Because there was no food at home, he and his eldest sister went to the woods to find food. It was a restricted area, my father had warned. But even his father took him there, after all, survival is a big deal. Then the siblings got separated, and the younger brother bumped into a red-capped girl with half-breasted breasts coming out of the cabin. Comatose after kissing him.

Next up are the twins and parents. The younger brother hung naked on the fence outside the house, as if he had been abandoned there. The younger brother who came home was like a slaughter, and finally returned to heaven in the extreme feeling like taking drugs. The family was chaotic, the younger sister of the twins instigated her to be a witch, and her parents began to suspect her. The twins finally got to see the ugly witch. The mother saw her old friend in a dream, which was a very warm scene: the baby was sucking milk in her arms, and the eldest son was studying for her. In fact, this scene is the most terrifying: the witch sits next to the crow pecking at the mother who has turned into a mummified corpse. The father died a bit manly, fighting the evil ram and finally being slaughtered by the horns. The mother's wandering spirit was still there, and she restrained the eldest daughter who was safe and sound. The eldest daughter grabbed the knife that fell on the ground, and the mother died.

The weirdest thing is at the end, the eldest daughter joined the witch gang. Deep in the woods, a group of naked girls recited incantations around the bonfire, their bodies twisted and soared. Are these all girls who are disliked by their families and even sold to be servants? This is exactly the same as the horror of the East, the resurrection of evil spirits.

Let's put aside the role of the eldest daughter, everyone magnifies the evil side of others. The older brother stared at his sister's chest, so the witch appeared as a seductress. The girl of the twins repeatedly claimed that she had seen a witch, slandering the eldest sister as a witch. So what they saw was really an ugly witch as described in fairy tales. Father ignored the eldest sister's dissuasion and disrespect to the ram? So the body was slaughtered by the horns of the goat. Even if he finally repented and said that he was conceited, he was exiled, guilty and his family. But the devil does not listen to repentance, but only to desire. Although the mother did not speak about her sins directly, her attitude towards the eldest daughter could be seen to be extremely indifferent. Calling her is like calling a servant. He is also very attached to men. The husband said that he was going to go hunting in the woods. She said that if something happened to you, what should we do? Could it be that Andre is in charge? It's the boy of the twins, who doesn't exist as much as the little baby. She seems to be just a young lady Jiaojiao who only complains when something goes wrong and doesn't understand pragmatism. Even with her maternal side, it can't stop the cold and rough under the mask of a loving mother.

Evil is prosperous.

    Contrast the ignorance of the Middle Ages, and the atmosphere is in place. The father's lies and self, the mother's blindness and partiality, the elder brother's peeping and recklessness, and the two younger sisters' stubbornness and slander, make the pure-minded and somewhat stupid daughter become a witch. In fact, every character is sick, and they feel angry and indisputable. The unexpected is the ending. It really brings the strange feeling to "Ascension", and you win the director.
