    Sure enough, it is a movie full of horror and poetry. The upper part is HATE and the lower part is LOVE. The evil part and the good part are very powerful. When the priest representing the devil and the old lady representing the guardian angel sing the same song The tense scene of good and evil confronting each other was really exciting.

    All women are stupid (except old ladies), all men are annoying (except little boys), which is really unbearable for the audience... Interesting is only a few shots, such as the female corpse in the water is very poetic ; such as a distant view of a boat drifting in the water, and a close-up view of cobwebs, frogs, rabbits, and others (the old lady keeps a gun at night)
