Polanski wrote in his memoirs:
"When I reminisce about my own distant past, the lines between the real and the imagined are always so disappointingly blurred and confused. This is the key to my life. Maybe it will take me a lifetime. time to understand. Maybe it's what made me suffer and challenge, feel sad and disappointed. But I see that the door ahead has been opened. If it weren't for it, maybe this door would be closed forever."

At the end of the movie, Rosemary, who was holding a sharp knife, walked through the dark corridor and saw a surprising scene: a black stroller was placed in the apartment lobby, and a wizard in fancy clothes Chatting and laughing with champagne in hand is like a high society party. Outside such a harmonious and gorgeous picture, what seemed to be heard was no longer a beautiful movement, but Rosemary's scream: They are all witches! However, in an instant, she picked up the baby, her expression became strange and ambiguous, She has completely abandoned God and, like everyone around her, has become a follower of the devil. Such as the philosophical proposition to be revealed by the film: "God is dead!".

The chilling haze in Polanski's life makes his films always full of shadows and a profound interpretation of the darkness of human nature, and his works are always filled with a bone-chilling coldness and silence. The intense pain and indifference to the piercing edge.

The grandmother next door is a devout Christian. She always goes to church regardless of the weather. She always wears high-powered reading glasses to look up the dictionary word by word to read the Bible. However, I inadvertently discovered that she would yell at the scrawny stray dogs at the door, and at the same time warn others not to feed them, and she would also act like a scoundrel to blackmail the tenants who were about to move out. At this point, the respect for her suddenly turned into contempt and disdain, and I also began to wonder what the true beliefs of those believers who were as different as the grandmother were?

In "Supernatural", Castiel asked the Wenchester brothers to go to the paradise garden to find God. He said to the two brothers, don't think of the paradise garden as the only unchanging garden. On the contrary, everyone has an independent paradise garden, so heaven It is like the universe, and everyone's heaven is like the countless stars in the universe, so looking for God is actually looking for it in one's own world.

Human nature is inherently chaotic, but becomes orderly because of moral and social norms. Faith is not so much the worship of gods and the yearning for beauty, but the externalization of human expectations. It is also like a boat, carrying everyone to the other side that he is destined to reach.

    #Polanski Film Festival# The more everyday the more terrifying. A psychological thriller with a great sense of rhythm, with an increasingly subjective perspective. Mia Farrow in the days of Sinatra's wife was so beautiful and she played it perfectly! (ps. The first movie theater always brings the best movie viewing experience)

    Classic horror film, a rare cult theme. There are no disgusting scenes of Xia Sanlan, but there are many shock points. The rhythm is just right and exciting. Mia Faluo starred as a persecuted neurotic beauty, with amazingly big eyes on her thin face, which is quite affectionate. After the second film was released, Roman Polski’s wife was brutally murdered by a member of the manson cult. The pregnant woman was cut open with a slogan written on the wall with blood.
