If you want to understand a movie, you should start with the general plot of the movie. Returning to the plot, it seems that all the origins are a mother full of guilt. In order to save her daughter, she killed many people. In the end, in order to save her daughter, she went to the place where she was initially afraid in those years, deceived everyone and completed the final ceremony to be redeemed. Finally, she was cursed and died in defeat.
After watching the film, the audience shouted bad luck. "Fire Buddha cultivates the mind, Cleisthenes calls it" is a joke made by the director to the audience. In fact, it's a homophonic word for Minnan (rich and dead means famous). Don't feel too unlucky. This is the director's trap. As soon as he shouted bad luck, the movie's "horror" was really established, and then the excellent reversal was established.
Before looking for some information, there used to be an ancient tantric school in southern Fujian. They live by practicing evil laws, and the envelope is named the curse god of the big black Buddha mother. They cut meat from children to support the Buddha mother, which is harmful to nature. Finally, they couldn't control the Buddha mother and were cursed by her. In order to protect themselves, they sealed her up and used witchcraft to transfer her curse.
When we review the story, it is not difficult to find that the film has many frightening plots.
1. I wonder if anyone has noticed. She showed nervousness and nervousness in all the opening DV shots, but at the critical moment, she was unusually calm and sober, knew how to advance and retreat, and did not panic and be neurotic. For example, she inadvertently showed calmness when recording, led the way when ghosts hit the wall or finally went to the cave. Which is the real Lee?
Seemingly concerned, children still choose not to tell anyone when they seem to be possessed by evil, and teach them to be familiar with their names? In fact, when the glass was broken for the first time, she knew that mother Buddha had come to the door and sensed the child. Why should she give her child a real name? Do you make sacrifices to protect yourself or get rid of the control of the Buddha mother or turn yourself into a villager?
2. Why is it that after Adong and Ayuan entered the tunnel, everyone in the stockade basically died, and the parents and police who watched DV were not spared, but Li Ruonan survived unscathed and gave birth to a girl? Because the Buddha mother needs to leave one or two "seeds" to continue to spread her magic and develop new congregation, both mother and daughter began to record DV, that is, spread the congregation, whether intentionally or forced.
3. Welcome Ceremony (we come) The letter L was deliberately dropped here, which actually means that we are here (meaning that the Buddha mother came, or our mother and daughter came to preach, because it is not difficult to see in the ending that Li Ruonan found the Yunnan mage six years ago and knew that the spell was actually a curse, not a blessing)
When entering the village, the elders in the village welcomed "Protestants" with cursing gestures as soon as they entered the gate. At first, my uncle said that my family was going to worship, just symbolically. His attitude was not tough. He whispered to his elders and aunts but smiled strangely, indicating that it was very happy to have "Protestants" to join them because one more person shared the curse.
It can be seen that Li has actually become a devout Buddhist in the subconscious. Normal people will thank the amulet when they arrive at the temple and put it away. Li just regarded it as a hot potato and was punished for "offending" the Buddhist mother.
6. Before entering the tunnel, what the selected girl gave Li Ruonan to drink was actually the black water that took her hair to feed the frog. Personally, I think whoever drinks this can be possessed by the Buddha mother, and the girl works for the Buddha mother, so that both of them actually leave the mark of the Buddha mother. Pay attention to the color of the bottle at the bottom left of the picture. Is it the same color as the water in the jar that feeds frogs with their hair?
7. The broadcast that appeared on the radio when the psychologist died strangely after watching DV was actually the news of the death of the psychologist who watched DV after seeing Li Ruonan before.
8. The mantra of truth is actually Minnan. This sentence means that I am willing to share the curse and say my name. This symbol is a spell to share the Buddha's curse with strangers. The more people who bear the curse, the more they will dilute the curse. The deeper you stare, the more forbearing you will be. The Buddha's face is the center of the curse. So they covered her face and never looked. This shows that Li Ruonan's scheming is heavy. She knew the truth when she was pregnant six years ago. She may have sent the child away to protect her from knowing her real name, but why did she ask the child back six years later and force the girl to remember her name? I think it should be that her will was eroded by the Buddha mother and she began to "be forced" to develop Protestantism for the Buddha mother.
