Content introduction:

Father Kester Merlin (Stran Scargard) thinks he has seen the face of the devil. Because of the war, innocent people were brutally persecuted in Mei Sen parish. In the years after World War II, Mei Sen has been tortured by this terrible memory. As Mason saw, his colleagues and followers left him, and he could no longer call himself a priest.

Mei Sen, who was basically desperate, started a long journey from his native Holland, hoping to get rid of the horror he saw. When Mei Sen came to Egypt, he met an antique collector who invited him to join the British archaeological team. The team excavated a Christian church in Byzantine period. But what people can't understand is that there are indications that this religion was buried shortly after its establishment. Collectors hope that Mei Sen, who studied archaeology at Oxford University, can find the ancient ruins hidden in the church before the British archaeological team.

But under the church, some old things are sleeping, waiting to be awakened. Madness befalls local villagers and British soldiers guarding the excavation. Mei Sen watched helplessly as a cruel war befell innocent villagers. He prayed that he would never see this cruel scene again. Innocent blood flows freely in the plains of East Africa, but this is only the beginning of terror.

There, the devil was born, and Mei Sen will finally see his true colors.

Introduction to the film:

Prequel to the Exorcist is the prequel to the famous horror movie Exorcist. 1973 The classic horror film The Exorcist, which caused an uproar, was directed by the famous director William Frederking (French drug trafficking network) and won 10 Oscar nominations. One of the most famous scenes is a little girl possessed by evil spirits whose head turns 360 degrees. At that time, countless Christians immediately fainted in the cinema. Since then, The Exorcist has set up a series of classics and become a model for Hollywood horror films to follow.

The classic of the exorcist is based on the success of the original novel, and the novel has been put on a bizarre coat of "quoting real events" from the beginning. 1949 65438+ 10, an appalling evil spirit incident occurred in Maryland, USA. A boy as young as 14 years old began to show signs of being haunted by evil spirits shortly after his aunt died strangely. A month later, the situation became more and more serious, and the little boy was dying. As a Catholic, Lawrence began to hold a formal exorcism ceremony for the little boy under the instruction of the Archbishop of St. Louis. After consulting a large number of ancient books about exorcism, Lawrence finally found a way to exorcise exorcism, and the little boy turned the corner. In August of the same year, Washington post exposed the incident with the title "Father rescued a boy who was allegedly possessed". William Peter Blathy, then 2 1 year-old, was studying at Georgetown University, and this strange thing aroused his great interest. Twenty years later, he began to write the novel The Exorcist with this incident as the background. Two years later, when the novel was published, it caused a sensation all over the world. This so-called "real event" is to resort to words and then turn into a bloody image, which will bring unparalleled fear and curiosity to people. The novel The Exorcist has been on the bestseller list in The New York Times for 55 weeks.

That is, after 1973' s exorcist, the exorcist series made two sequels. But perhaps the previous works were too prominent, and the subsequent two sequels did not cause much repercussions. Especially, Exorcist 2 (1977) has become a ridiculous "model" for its director JohnBoorman's disdain for the original work. 1990, the original author Blathy wrote and directed Exorcist 3 in order to save the bad reputation of Exorcist 2, but the film still failed to fully inherit the powerful visual sting of the first episode. But through more forbearing imagination to mobilize the audience's fear. Perhaps due to the limitation of the director's own skill, the creative casting and mirror image transmission in the first episode disappeared in the third episode. Even so, the third episode is still a "real sequel" to The Exorcist with its compact plot and evil atmosphere throughout.

After nearly eight years of incubation, The Exorcist was finally put on the screen again by Warner Corporation, and The Exorcist Prequel was filmed and released in the United States in August. Interestingly, the exorcist prequel was shot in two completely different versions. The first edition was directed by paul schrader, the ace screenwriter of Taxi Driver and Angry Bull (director of psychological thriller Auto Focus), but his final effect was too artistic and lacked bloody stimulation, so the film was constructed as a framework of suspense reasoning. His bold attempt finally made the management unbearable. After repeated weighing, Morgan Crick announced that the film, which has invested 50 million dollars, will be completely remake, and the investment in remake is still 50 million dollars. At this point, the exorcist prequel, with a total cost of 1 billion dollars, has also become the most expensive horror film in film history. The remake was taken over by action film director renny harlin, who directed Die Hard Rowen Rowen 2, Cutthroat Island and Hot Water. He made the second version, which is full of violence and blood, and even more "horrible". It is the version that American audiences will see in cinemas. As for the "art version" of the exorcist prequel, it will be included in DVD. Paul schrader compared this unprecedented shooting experience to "the ultimate practice of the Film Academy". "It's like giving two students the same premise. Everyone gives 1000 feet of film and says, let's make a movie!" Then Schrade said, "I seized the opportunity to make a horror film that was not used, but the buyer later regretted it." Renny harlin, the director of the second edition, said: "Because 1973 is the most famous horror film in the world, they (the production company MorganCreek) think that the key to the prequel is to be absolutely faithful to the original 1973. They want this film to be an absolute success and contain all the elements of the original. I think this is why they are not satisfied with the previous script and the film (shot by paul schrader). "

As for the remake of The Exorcist Prequel, its director renny harlin said: "In the prequel, we continued the theme and style of the original, and because it is a prequel, we have the opportunity to explain some unexplained problems and mysterious events in the film 1973. At the same time, the most important thing for the audience is that they can feel extremely exciting and horrible like watching the original. " He also said: "In the prequel, we used the characteristics of 1973 to describe the battle between characters and good and evil, and did not use any special tricks that would make people feel unreal." "In a sense, this film is better than that of 1973. What I want to explain is that obviously, this is not a movie full of blood, let alone a movie full of flying monsters and movie stunts. "

The film is played by Stran Scargard, who once appeared in Dancer in the Waves and Darkness, and this role is played by the famous actor MaxvonSydow in The Exorcist. The script was written by the screenwriter of Terminator 2. Shooting a prequel for a film is nothing new in Hollywood, but the pressure to shoot a prequel for the most successful horror film in film history is even more imaginable. Both Finnish director Renee, who is troubled by the box office, and investors who are forced to "bleed" again will face severe tests from all sides. (Author: Jiezi)

stephen edwin king

Philosophy directs the original works of Darabont. The Shawshank Redemption brings eternal and sincere friendship, indomitable soul and endless fire of fate. I hope you don't need enthusiasm. Passionate hope is just a casual impulse in the depths of the soul. In prison, when the progress of life can only be measured by time, any high enthusiasm can only helplessly raise its hands to disappointment and accept its fate.

Only a discerning person can see the absurdity of life clearly, otherwise, people will be wronged and helpless in the face of injustice, angry and furious in the face of oppression, rot in difficulties, and even be lonely and desperate in ordinary environments. Cowardice imprisons a person's soul, and hope can feel freedom. The strong help themselves, and the saints help others. (

Comment)

In the film, some people are changing and some people are getting used to it. Shawshank prison in the film is a metaphor for a relatively closed social environment. For Thomas, who has been in prison for 50 years, change means destruction. But for young and enthusiastic Andy, change is a kind of redemption. The Shawshank Redemption is actually a kind of self-salvation. In this way, suspense master Stephen King wants to tell people that the pursuit of self-life is not just a dream, but just how to do it. Regardless of the outcome, this process is very important. (Xinhuanet Review)

The film touches on the eternal theme of mankind and the unavoidable dilemma at present. The structure of the film is more precise than the original novel, the lines are more rhythmic, more refined and more meaningful, and the characters are more vivid and powerful than the original novel. The director holds high the spirit of freedom between heaven and earth with rich and skillful artistic texts. (
