asphyxia

The two hours of watching the movie were two hours of being beaten painfully by anxiety, madness, and suffocation. This is an extremely good political allegory, and it is absolutely impossible to sum it up with the word "horror movie". Of course, the "politics" here is broader, not only related to social public power. The film itself has too many obscure metaphors and images, coupled with artistic film narrative techniques and the actors' crazy acting skills, making the content of the film complex, vague but profound and clear: love and desire, spirit and flesh, God and human beings. Sin, the temptation of the devil and the hope of mankind, war and freedom, the beginning of life and premature death... Here, the main problems and religious issues of human society seem to be found and excavated.
That kind of unease and deep fear, at the end of the film, when Mark, the devil in human form, knocked on the door of Helen, who represents the order and freedom of human society, the world outside is already a world of bizarre helicopter searchlights. And the young human child who was protected in Helen's house could only drown himself in the bathtub while exclaiming "Don't open the door! Don't open the door!" - as the little corpse floated and floated in the bathtub. , reaching a suffocating peak. What a magical and realistic political fable! (As expected of a banned film hahaha?) The devil born from a strong desire brought wars and disasters all over the world. At that time, the human society under the protection of order And hope, too, is about to perish.

    It's amazing, the plot isn't as obscure as expected, it's actually quite straightforward. Adjani is really good at acting and good looks.

    Since watching this film, the whole person has become more energetic, and I really want to eat sizzling squid.
