Who is the devil?

Joana 2022-01-03 08:01:18

I have been thinking about this for a long time. The name of the movie is a devil. Then who is the devil in the end?
Someone may have jumped out, silly you, obviously who is the devil. I neither refute nor argue. Just want to analyze it in detail.
Candidates: the principal, wife, lover,
first talk about the principal. If he is a devil, the focus may be on his character and manners. He is indeed an ugly person with no moral bottom line. Of course, he and his lover are involved in the whole case. Conspired to scare his wife to death. Another argument is that he is a dead, living person, a demon lurking around him. Dead but alive again. Out of sight.
Speaking of lover, there is no doubt that after watching a movie, the logic will generally think that she is the biggest demon, with deep scheming and good performance. There is a great conspiracy lurking in his heart, and he does everything without leaking. Thinking of any possible details, as long as normal people read it, they have to lament that she is the most poisonous and feminine. You don't know her real thoughts, and maybe even her orientation is not clear. So to say that she is a terrifying demon, no one's bottom line, I don't think it is an exaggeration.
Finally, I have to say that what I personally really think is the devil is this wife. Because of the ending, the little boy's words made me have to infer at least ten minutes. First assume that what he said is correct. Then we assume that the wife is not dead, she must have seen through their conspiracy in advance, and used her own suspended animation to send the adulterer and adulteress to prison. Such a terrifying scheming makes me sigh, indeed, it is a demon.
I know that the loophole in my assumption is too obvious. People who refute that my wife is a devil will put forward a lot of arguments. It is said that she is really dead. This is the story. It is just the last prank of the child.
I have summarized everyone’s points of view, and the arguments proving the death of his wife are roughly as follows:
1. The professor’s words do indicate that the wife is not far from death.
2. A teacher said that his wife’s body was taken away.
3. There is also the problem of feeling the pulse.
4. From beginning to end, his wife had a bad heart.
Let me talk about my thoughts on these issues.
My idea is that the wife discovered the problem at some time in the middle, maybe when the old detective came, maybe when the mistress left behind (the mistress was forced to leave). This theory logically separated the doctor's statement that she was about to die from the suspended animation behind her. Because dying is one thing, the planned suspended animation is another. As for the problem of transporting the corpse, I can only huh, this can be fooled. I can evasive the idea of ​​feeling the pulse, maybe my husband is really excited. Unsteady hands. Ha ha. As for the heart problem, neither doctors nor professors said that she was a heart problem, but she said it herself! Said it by myself, which shows that it is not necessarily unintentional.
I also found that someone who believes that his wife is dead, in fact, only needs to figure out that the child is lying. on the contrary. Just prove that he didn't lie. . I think I can prove it.

Where is the slingshot placed? ! ! It’s on the table in the wife’s room (the director also gave two close-ups. Isn’t that a hint)!! It’s always there!! Is it because the kid sneaked into the room to steal it? This is illogical because the possibility is too small. There is no mention that he will steal things. There is no foreshadowing.

Moreover. The old detective discovered the truth. Will he watch his wife be scared to death? Did everyone realize that he was finally flat and calm? And he is not a good person. Who paid him when his wife died?

After the argument
is over, what I want to say at the end is how to count as a wonderful ending. To be honest, I guessed the ending when the lover left. The hole in the tablecloth and the description of the hotel are not difficult to guess. But if the ending is just that simple (in fact, it is not simple), there will be no sublimation and finishing touches. Will your soul tremble at the last minute? Is it an immortal work?

    It turns out that Gui Zhihong's "Evil" is a remake of this movie, so after seeing about a third of it, you will know what the ending is. For those who care about spoilers, if they know the ending, the experience may be slightly worse, but I don't care. . I am more immersed in the process, after all, a good movie can't have to reverse the ending. George Clouzot is known as the Hitchcock of France. From the limited viewing of several of their works, Clouzot's preference for suspense is obviously lower than the depiction of the dark side of human nature. Most of the time, a The psychological and spiritual changes caused by the incident are what he prefers to show, so the atmosphere of the film is very good. Let's talk about the remake version of "Evil", which follows the line of cult ghost stories, focusing on scaring people, and finally the practice of naked women, which can be said to be a kind of exploitation movie.
