From the moment human beings are born, the world is no longer peaceful.
Because human beings are conscious and thoughtful, they can observe the world and reflect on themselves. It is this behavior that gives faith a living soil.
Therefore, where there are people, there is faith. The belief in
was originally divided into two types, one was the worship of heaven and earth, and the other was the awe of ancestors. Later, the belief and admiration of a certain kind of thought or religion and someone or something was derived.
However, when faith is distorted, even if there are no ghosts, it is still the most terrifying horror film.
"A Midsummer Night Before" tells such a story. As a horror film, it can scare people in broad daylight. It is very qualified.
When a group of people are blind, normal people will be heterogeneous, and the role of heterogeneity is to be sacrificed to life and death, so this movie is very evil.
The director of this film is horror film star Ali Esther. Many people may not know about him, but last year’s popular "Genetic Doom" may be unknown.
"Genetic Doom" is his debut novel, abandoning the traditional jump scare, fiddling with sound effects and plasma to surprise the eye.
He started with a fragmented native family and religion, bringing a feast of horror to the world, and "Midsummer Night Terror" is naturally not inferior.
, the heroine Danni suffered the greatest pain in her life less than five minutes into the movie. The sister of
who suffered from bipolar disorder inhaled car exhaust and committed suicide. Before she died, she also took the lives of her parents. When Danni returned home the next day, she saw only three cold bodies.
suddenly became a lonely family. Dany, who was already emotionally unstable, collapsed. She needed to vent, but the only relatives around her were her boyfriend Christine.
and she was worried that her constant venting would cause trouble to her boyfriend.
Christine wanted to break up a long time ago. His friends Mark, Pell, and Josh told him more than once that the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain and that the relationship should end immediately.
But Christine is afraid of moral condemnation, and Dani has lost all of his relatives. If he proposes to break up, Dani may be foolish.
Half-push and half-step Christine promised Dany to take her to a summer camp in Sweden. On the one hand, she could finish her thesis, and on the other hand, she could relieve her.
's move was collectively opposed by the buddies, and only Pell accepted it. With eager eyes and sincere language, he carefully introduced her hometown to Dany. In addition to his excitement,
enlightened Dany with their miserable experiences since childhood and should go to his hometown, a small town called Haga, to relax. Of course,
cannot refuse such kindness.
It's just that they didn't expect that at the moment they agreed to go to Sweden, death had already come to them, ready to wield the sickle at any time.
But they don't realize that even if they feel weird, they can't get out of it.
Because the small town they went to was sunny, quiet and sunny, it seemed that horror and horror could not breed in such an environment.
But they forget that sunshine does not mean there is light, and sometimes it can aggravate the suffocating atmosphere.
Peer’s hometown, Haga town is a secluded place, if no one is led, outsiders will never find it.
Here, there are birds and flowers, flocks of cattle and sheep, and colorful fallows. It looks like a paradise. All of
are dressed in plain white clothes. The girls wear garlands and embroidered lace on their skirts. They are very enthusiastic about their arrival.
They happened to catch up with Haga’s 90-year large-scale sacrificial ceremony-Midsummer Festival, which will be held for 9 consecutive days. Pell gave his friends wine, food...
and hallucinogens , A drug that can instantly relax people, the effect is the same as cats inhaling mint.
makes people hallucinate and blurs the boundary between life and death. Together with them, there are two other outsiders who were brought, Simon and his girlfriend.
They are curious about everything here.
ate a very ceremonial breakfast. At the table, two elderly people who had passed away from their earliest ages gave their blessings before the meal.
After dinner, people of the same tribe lifted them up to the cliff with eight large sedan chairs, and they both palmed their handsScratch and smear the blood on the stone stele of the mysterious symbol.
Next, the high-energy picture comes.
The first old man walked straight to the edge of the cliff and jumped down in free fall.
The outsiders onlookers had no time to exclaim, she was completely unrecognizable and died.
The second old man also jumped off the cliff along her path, but his point was a little back, he did not fall to death like her, but was dying.
The rest of the clansmen came over and took Da Muchui and hit him on the face. The complete face immediately became smashed, which also ensured his complete death.
Seeing that no one stopped, Simon and the others felt angry and weird. Compared with the civilized world they were in, such behavior was equivalent to breaking the law.
not only failed to save the life but also violated ethics. They couldn't figure it out and wanted to leave, thinking that the residents of Haga town were crazy.
But the local elders explained to them:
"This is their life.
They will be tortured by illness sooner or later, and sooner or later they will die. Now it is the best destination to end their lives in such a noble way.
and he is dead now. Then, a new life will be born, and that new life will inherit the name of the deceased. This is the cycle of life, and no one can stop it."
and they believe that the life of a person should be the four seasons, and the spring is the age of 1-18. 18-36 is summer, 36-54 is autumn, and 54-72 is winter. After winter, death is natural.
Since then, strange things have happened one after another.
Mark urinated everywhere and peeed on their ancestor tree. The residents clamored to kill him because he humiliated their ancestors.
In the end, Mark was called away by a girl, and everyone didn't care. After all, his purpose of coming here was to find a girl to be happy and happy. When
waited to find him again, he was already skinned.
Simon who was clamoring to leave the town was "Blood Eagle" and his fiancee was buried alive.
"Blood Eagle" punishment originated from the punishment of prisoners of war and betrayers by Viking pirates. During the execution of
, the victim's back was split and the chest cavity lost pressure. The victim would die in extreme pain and suffocation. Because the back was turned on both sides, it looked like the wings of an eagle, so it was called a "blood eagle."
Josh refused to listen to the persuasion of the elders, and for the purpose of his research, he secretly took pictures of the elders' scriptures in the middle of the night.
was crushed to death.
Danni was skeptical but still unclear. So, surrounded by a group of girls, she participated in the "Queen of May" dance selection.
In the happy and lively atmosphere, Danni, who was pushed up, became the "Queen of May" naturally, praying for the crops.
Christine and Pell’s sister have an ambiguity. There is a rule in the small town of
that girls can mate after they are 18 years old, and the subjects are chosen by them, as long as they are fancy, they will capture each other in three steps.
One hides a spell under the man’s bed; two gives the blood of his aunt; three uses hair to make pies for him to eat. After all the steps are completed, just wait for the bait to be hooked, and then roll the sheets as desired.
Can you leave after rolling the sheets? Of course
is not good, everyone else has suffered accidents, and Christine is no exception.
For Pell's sister, he is just a tool for assisted reproduction, a candidate to prevent the birth of deformed children due to inbreeding. When
runs out, the value is gone. The story of
is here, everything is clear.
It turned out that in the nine-day feast, nine people were killed and sacrificed in blood, including five outsiders and four indigenous people.
Two old people among the aboriginals have died, two young people volunteered to sacrifice, four outsiders Simon, Simon's girlfriend, Josh, and Mark have been. There is only one person left in the balance of
. Don't think it must be Christine, but the decision whether he becomes a sacrifice is in the hands of the "Queen of May".
Danni did not hesitate too much and directly appointed Christine as the last sacrifice, so he was sewn into a bear skin and burned to death with the other 8 people to complete the final sacrifice.
Nietzsche said: "Fighting with the dragon for too long will become the dragon".
At this moment, Dany, whose mood has turned from restless to smiling, is no different from them. She has found a sense of belonging and lost emotions.Pinned.
But she will also become an "evil dragon" and continue to perform sacrificial orders to the next wave of innocent people.
All this stems from their faith.
emphasizes empathy, crying, laughing, enjoying, and paying attention to death for faith. This kind of dedication is great.
sounds very brainwashed, but it has been tried and tested.
Because after thoughts cause pain, people often look for spiritual power that can give a reasonable explanation or point out the way out in the future to ease the pain and provide a clear direction for life.
Beliefs can be different, but believers have the same attitude towards belief, regarding the content of belief as the highest principle that unifies all aspects of life, and all activities are directed towards following this principle.
's lack of mind and spirit makes people have a breakthrough in their defenses. The problem will no longer be rigorous, and problems will follow.
In fact, many of the big problems in our world are not caused by intolerance of faith, but by too much tolerance of faith.
treats his so-called beliefs, disregarding scientific concepts and logic, blindly following fanaticism.
Throughout the history of the world, through the ages, there have been countless tragedies caused by faith. In the United States alone, there are People’s Temple, Scientology, Satanism...
and the ideas spread by these religions now seem to be anti-human. On the surface, it was like a paradise to save people, but it actually killed more than a hundred lives. Everyone understands the cause of the tragedy of
, which is the word belief. The misinterpretation of these two words has turned the seemingly perfect thought into the loss of humanity and the loss of morality.
On the other hand, with faith, life will have goals and motivation to move forward. You will no longer be confused every day, knowing why, and live a life that is easy to live by.
is no longer empty in his heart, knows how to live with dignity and value, knows how to give, knows how to love, even at the end of life, know why to stop.
This is one of the reasons why many people like to go to Tibet for pilgrimage, that is, to find faith.
From this point of view, is faith a good thing or a bad thing?
In fact, the answer is very clear. The key lies in how people use it. If you use it correctly, you can create civilization. If you use it wrong, the world will fall into chaos.
Thought is the foundation of faith, but an independent brain that knows what is wrong is the foundation that determines the upper and lower limits of faith.
