Mothmen are taken from American legends, but the mothmen did not really show up in the film from beginning to end. The sightings, telephone messages, and accurate predictions that can prove the existence of Mothmen can be regarded as nuclear fear in a special era. The performance of the group subconscious in the background, of course, this is just my own words. In fact, in 1967, a group of mothman sightings broke out in the town of Le Point in West Virginia. It is said that hundreds of people in the town saw it one after another. The mothmen swayed in the streets of the town, their big wings and big red eyes were terrifying. It didn't take long for the "Silver Bridge", the bridge in the town, to collapse. It is said that a large number of mothmen witnesses were killed under the collapsed bridge.
Therefore, people began to suspect that the Mothman appeared to be a warning sign. His identity is also the prophet of disasters, but the ignorant human beings do not know it, and they are still living in a muddle. The original John Gere proposes in the novel. The idea of ​​"Science Fiction" is also in line with the sci-fi trend that prevailed in that era. It is the principled guide of a certain advanced civilization. Mothman is like a person standing on top of a skyscraper. You can’t see the disaster in front of you, but it can At a glance.
The dullness in the middle of the movie is predictable. After all, the protagonist of the movie did not appear, the metaphor of this kind of horror points to the heart. The mutation of the small town and the image of the mothman are all derived from Western culture, especially the Christian culture’s view of the world. Guidance, the whispers of the devil and the God who will believe in.
