"shell"

Lao Mei's films always talk about one problem-family. No matter what kind of "shell" is wrapped on the outside, the "core" inside is the same. For example, zombie films like "The Walking Dead" are full of branch plots that explore family issues. The sprinklers admire this point, and such movies are truly human.

A lot of film critics are complaining-first they talk about old-fashioned things, then they talk about similarities, they say nothing, they say that exorcism is too new...
Judging from the superficial knowledge and common sense of the Sajia, such complaints should be made.

Let's talk about "exorcism" first.
Religion is not a play of creativity. The rituals and processes are fixed. Most of the religious-related horror movies are clearly explained. They are nothing but the Bible, the cross, and the holy water (some of them describe sects such as Voodoo. The movie is slightly different). In addition to the Judaism scriptures in the Dead Soul Box, the box that can seal evil spirits is also one of the main props.
Since they are all possessed by evil spirits, it is the correct way to adopt similar methods under a similar religious background. (Is it possible to learn Hong Kong martial arts film, let the Judaism boy sit behind the girl with his palms against her shoulder blades, and the girl’s head smokes?)
Besides, smash the dead soul box mirror to get the real name of the dead, and then use the deafening shout It is also quite shocking to recall it to the bridge section in the box, at least the goose bumps of Sajia who are immersed in the plot.

Next, let's talk about "family".
Divorce is a big pain in today's marriage world. Data from May 2012 shows that the divorce rate in the United States is as high as 50%.
So, those who say that the parents of American film and television dramas are always divorced, please shut up? !
It is also the setting of divorce that gave the film a more reasonable basis: buying old furniture, a community with few people, the conflicts between parents and father and daughter, and the later "application for protection order"...
Family In fact, it is a very delicate "balance product." A seemingly small contradiction and problem can break that balance. The trust between husband and wife and the care between the elders and children are sometimes not as strong as imagined.
What's more, this kind of problem occurs in a "family" that has been on the verge of collapse due to the formal divorce of the parents, and it is almost the last straw that crushes the camel.

Let's talk about "causing trouble."
Some people feel that this evil spirit is not powerful, and it has not killed a few characters, and is weak in ability.
The Sajia felt that you all watched too many bloody zombie movies, and did not learn to cut off the horizontal connection when watching the
movie-the ultimate goal of the evil spirit "Abisu" is "rebirth." If you can't avoid people's eyes and eyes or get off the beaten track during the rebirth, I'm afraid that people with a little religious consciousness will call the clergy to exorcise the devil. Therefore, in the early stage, all the evil spirits did were to make the possessed betray their relatives. Please carefully recall the first victim in the film: Is the life of the old lady living alone in a hungry state?
From the perspective of this family, a mother falls in love, even if she loves her children, she will be distracted; how old her sister is, it is the period of youth rebellion and the family drifting away; the closest relationship with the youngest daughter is the father. .
Therefore, most of the evil deeds of this evil spirit are directed at the father, and try to completely separate the father's love for his daughter, so that its rebirth process is safer.
At the same time, the evil spirit inevitably merges with the little girl’s life and memory. At least until it is completely reborn, it will not really take the girl’s mind, hurt the “quasi-stepfather”, or be the source. Here.
Sajia thinks, probably most of the commenters are not parents yet-we don't need to use the bridge segment like child enchantment to substitute, just think about the real incident of the accidental injury of relatives and friends' children-a friend of Sajia The child wrestled and caused a fractured tibia and could not go to the ground within a month. Her family took turns to hold the child for a month-imagine the kind of physical and mental suffering! To a child who has just learned to walk, to a mother who was pregnant in October...

Finally, he said "exorcism".
The Jewish brother died in the end. In fact, it shows that the evil spirit was only sealed and not destroyed. Faced with the exorcist who restrained his ability and knew his real name, the evil spirit chose to avoid its sharp detour and reuse it. The curse takes its life. The next host may not necessarily have enough willpower and friends who recognize Polish.

    This is probably the most technically bad exorcism movie I've ever seen.
