Love is God, Love is Immortal

I don't really recommend horror movies that are not scary, but the emotional part of this movie is really well shot. Love is permeated from beginning to end-loved ones and even fraternity. This part makes people comfortable and empathetic. Let's tear down this unhorrible horror film about love. ?

Love and religion in the film

The upper body scenes of the movie are very gentle. People with weak physique in any kind of different world culture system are more likely to be psychic. Matt's severe cancer has caused a supernatural physique, and the dead psychic Jonah hopes to use Matt's help. The body rescues those trapped souls. There are many details in the movie that Jonah tried to get up, such as the shadow entering Matt's body at night and Matt standing behind his mother with his head tilted. Before the priest took Jonah's ashes out of the house, he was still trying his upper body, but Jonah failed to get his upper body again and again. Although he could show Matt the supernatural scene, he couldn't control Matt's behavior. Jonah thought that his body was not for himself but for the dead, out of guilt or fraternity, he tried for hundreds of years, even if he was killed by a grudge. In the process of being upper body, Matt witnessed the cause and effect to empathize with Jonah. As a dying man, Matt took the initiative to accept Jonah’s upper body to rescue those resentful spirits. This is a job that will sacrifice his life. This is The real goodness. Both of them will eventually be gifted because of the love in their hearts.

I actually dislike the religious colors in European and American horror movies, not because I dislike religion but because most of the shots cannot make people empathetic. The contradiction in this movie is also because the mother read the scriptures in the Bible. When a mother puts her son above her life in the most difficult time, this love itself is the most powerful, so the mother’s passage of "Bible" is great and glorious, and it is not only the Bible that heals the wounds of grievances. It's the gentle love in the mother's heart, and this love has made the resentful soul think of the happiness in his lifetime and get liberated. The scene where the mother hugged the child in distress is also an obvious tribute to Michelangelo’s sculpture "Mourning for Christ". At this time, the mother in the movie has the same mood as the Virgin Mary, and it can also make people feel that sentence. The true meaning of equality for all, God is not a supreme existence, as long as there is a love, everyone is great.

The ending paragraph takes the movie to a new height. He uses the most tender way to express the love in the core value of Christianity, even fraternity. The beginning of Christianity was also because God loves the world and sent the Son to the world to replace it. The world atones for sins. The reason why Christianity can be invincible is precisely because of monotheism and inclusiveness. This kind of inclusiveness cannot be achieved by the same monotheistic Judaism. The result is that although Judaism condenses the Jewish soul, it is also limited by this, and Christianity upholds God. The concept of loving the world and everyone is equal goes to every angle of the world. In the end, choosing to let the mother read the Bible is also a true interpretation of the power of love. This is far more intelligent than letting the pastor and priest read the Bible. The inclusiveness based on love is the true weapon of Christianity. And Matt and Jonah also received the gift after their love. At the end of the film, Matt’s cancer was cured. This is a gift from fate to his kindness and his mother’s maternal love; and Jonah returned to his former appearance, because When his mother hugged Matt and read the Bible, he was in Matt's body. He was surrounded by Matt's mother's love. This power had a greater influence on him than those resentful spirits.

The salvation color in the movie is also very strong. First, because of the family relationship problems caused by Matt’s cancer, family members all need to be redeemed, and they all need to reconcile with each other; Jonah and other resentful spirits in the movie also need to be redeemed and free from the shackles of resentment; and Jonah and other resentful spirits also need to reconcile, and forgive each other to get them out of the sea of ​​suffering; even Jonah and Matt have a mutually redeeming relationship. And the root of all this is love and tolerance, love and tolerance can save sentient beings, so I won't talk about it anymore.

Some strengths and weaknesses of the film

The flashing scenes of this movie are really worthy of praise. Those flashing scenes fully explain the events that happened before, and use the perspective of the protagonist Matt, which gives a sense of substitution from the first perspective. , And the style of painting is weird and unobtrusive.

The weakness of the film is actually very obvious-the horror color is very weak, and this weakness affects the expression of the film as a horror film, and there is reason to do it better with the same duration without changing other methods. Especially after the priest asked the people in the house to leave in the second half of the period, there was an unpleasant spiritual scene when the daughter was taking a bath. The blank space left in this section was uncomfortable, even if the contribution of this section was straightforward. The horror scenes will make people look better. The cost of setting all other resentful spirits not to be seen by others is also very high. Only Jonah is in business for this movie. After revealing that he is innocent, the horror of the movie will be completely gone. In fact, if the director level is higher , Later, you can use the technique of "Reaper Is Coming" to create an atmosphere.

However, this movie is considered special anyway, and its interpretation of love is also commendable. The mother’s setting of reading the Bible to liberate grievances is more reasonable and more empathetic than the endings of most horror movies. After all, there is nothing in the world. True gods and Buddhas, only love is eternal.
