It could also be a master angler who bit the hook

I think in the movie "The Crying", there is a dialogue between the wizard and the police that the whole film is about, whether it is a female ghost, an old Japanese man, a wizard, or a resurrected person, a zombie, a dog, a policeman, whoever is fishing , who is enjoying the uncontrollable pain brought by the unknown and the addiction to unlocking the truth, all everyone has to do is to voluntarily bite the bait in their hearts. That's what the wizard says, and it's the basis of the multi-layered chase relationship throughout the film.

As for the identity of the Japanese old man at the end of the film, it doesn't matter which of the gods and the devil is the disguise. The important thing is that as the deputy, he should be the most devout person in the film, but he did not choose to believe it unconditionally. It was because of doubt that the old Japanese had no definite physical signs. Picking up the camera actually made everyone aware of their existence. Be aware of the reasons for those dangers, realize that your inner beliefs are as unreliable as your suspicions of others. Hiding behind the camera are angels, ordinary people, victims, and extremely evil spirits. There is only one kind of person in front of the camera.

The rooster croaked three times, the little girl and the police were the only survivors, because the seemingly weakest and weakest relationship between the multiple, extremely heavy or fierce forces confronted them, but because they had a blood relationship that didn't need to be said much. Hold on, although this is also the protagonist's halo, this light is completely legal and not rigid. The wizard is actually dead, and so is the church. The deputy has shaken the faith, God has been betrayed, and the female ghost's desperation has long exposed herself.

The logical tangle in the last minute of the film is my favorite. It echoes the "Bible" paragraph of the title. It is also just like the whole film wants to challenge--if it cannot be explained by using the film genre as the boundary of evaluation--is the audience's perception of various Elemental background perception and very personal experience identification, ''why my daughter'', why he/she, why he did/didn't do it, who the hell is, what questions to ask, film The values ​​of good or evil (if any) are the games the director wants to play with the audience. When accepting a movie, the audience must always have an appreciation and scrutiny mentality. If there is too much bait in the film of "The Crying", then the outside of the film is biting the hook, it may also be in the sense of watching the movie'' Fishing masters''.

    This kind of experimentation in the superposition of genre films is undoubtedly a success. It keeps reversing, and the evil spirit that pervades the closed Korean town for a long time will not disperse, "Fishing Demon" Yun Er. The superb technique really misled all the audience here. The whole film is carried out in "deconstruction" and "construction", whether it is the front part of reason and religion, Christ and shaman, or the false climax, montage editing and redefinition of good and evil in the second half

    You can't stand Hong Kong movies, you can't stand one step away, you can't stand Du Fei, you can't stand Chen Guo, how the hell did you endure everything here in Luo Hongzhen? There is no need to move out of the first group of Korean films, Jin Ji Deok's apprentice Zhang Xun, Hong Changxiu's apprentice Li Guangguo, these two are enough for him.
