God is dead

This is the second time I have watched it after more than ten years, and the feeling is very different from the first time.
After reading all the long reviews, there was no mention of the religious background of the movie. The town in the film is a conservative Christian area, which can be learned from the dialogue in the court and the police chief. Therefore, the residents of the town repelled the witch on the surface, and they were dubious about the supernatural phenomenon in their hearts. People's rebellious psychology leads to the more benevolence and morality, the higher the crime rate. Domestic violence, child molestation, extramarital affairs, promiscuity. . . All the prohibited behaviors of Christianity are not missed in this small town. But it is precisely the heresy in Christianity-the witch, who played the redemptive role of the "Virgin Mary". So Buddy’s statement that "the people in this town need you" is to some extent an irony of traditional Christianity.

    The story is very general, the suspense is not new, some plots are easy to get sleepy, and the filming is not strong.

    The big names are gathered~~~ They are all star faces~ Basically they are all acting schools, and the idols are also the acting schools in the idols~~ The plot is okay, and the sound effects are OK

  • Annie: My granny told me that I... I had a gift. That it runs in my family. And, she told me that I shouldn't be afraid of it. I should just always use my instinct and I'd... I'd be alright.

    David: So you're swearing before this court that you didn't get your information about this tragedy from any other means than your special ability? Your "gift"?

    Annie: Yes, Sir. I'm swearing that. Yes.
