What does the movie Blair Witch want to tell us?

『In October 1994, three film students, Hartz, Mike Williams and Leonhard, brought their film shooting equipment to Boer Town, preparing to investigate the local legend about the Boer Witch. They came to the Black Mountain Forest to find the Boer Witches, but they disappeared soon after. Five days later, people started looking for them. The US government called more than 100 people to find them, and also used helicopters and even satellites, but after 10 days there was no result at all. , so we had to give up the search, but a year later, several students from Maryland State University found a package in a very secluded cabin in the mountains, which contained Hartz's diary and a film copy that had been edited. , which records all the horrific events that happened when three people disappeared a year ago. This film is adapted from the copy disk discovered in 1995. 』

But in fact, this is all a propaganda technique. The production company did a lot of work during the filming to spread rumors about the Blair Witch! There are even several websites dedicated to rumors about Blair Witch, spreading them on the Internet, and then launching the movie! What the production company didn't expect was that the final box office of the movie with a cost of 20,000 US dollars was 25 million!

For example, the searches on the first floor are exactly the rumors spread by the film company during its promotion. Many of them are stories they hired people to make up on their own websites.

However, this film is still very realistic and has the feel of a documentary.

What it wants to tell us is actually not to be impulsive and not to rush into dangerous places without listening to advice. No matter whether the legend is true or false, there is a certain degree of danger.
