How did the curse come about?

Ruonan, the heroine of Curse played by Cai Genyan, is a single mother. After successfully curing the mental illness that has plagued her for many years, she brought her daughter Duoduo home to live with her. In the face of his long-lost daughter, if the man is determined to be a good mother, build a home for blossoming with peace of mind, and start shooting their daily lives with a camera, so as to leave beautiful memories for the mother and daughter in the future.

Because of the need to record her daughter's new life, the protagonist of "The Curse" will hold a camera almost everywhere, not only will she put it aside even if she can't move it, but also ask her daughter to develop the habit of recording. Even the rabbit doll she carries with her hides a camera. This move also provides a lot of material for the film Curse, so that the audience can clearly see the terrorist events that the mother and daughter are about to experience through these subjective perspectives or images taken from the side.

Cross-editing, terrible nightmare

At the beginning, if the interaction between men and women is normal, even though there are almost no memories of mother, mother and daughter get along well and their feelings are getting closer. However, even if the cursed heroine tries her best to live a normal life with her daughter, until one day, after one after another, she asks her mother to help drive away the bad things on the ceiling, if the traumatic shadow in the man's heart strikes again, it will bring her back to the nightmare she doesn't want to remember the most.

"The Curse" adopts the narrative method of interweaving the past and the present. In the daily life of Ruo Men and Women, the process of forming a video team with her boyfriend and others six years ago to break the haunted rumor and go to his mysterious forbidden place to shoot and explore is interspersed. In order to reveal the secrets of cult rituals, pagans angered the sleeping evil spirits. Finally, their boyfriends died suddenly on the spot, and others died one after another. The only one who survived was Ruonan who was waiting at the door because of injury.

After that, if the cursed heroine is on the verge of collapse, she must be forced to receive treatment and be separated from her daughter. In the past six years, I thought that if a man's conditions gradually improved, he could do his duty as a mother and let her grow up in a normal family environment. But now, with the reappearance of ritual symbols, his daughter has become the object of evil spirits' curse, and their seemingly stable life has begun to take a turn for the worse.

Among them, seeing ghosts hiding on the ceiling at night, sometimes they suddenly become a different person, talking to the empty space, losing their emotions and attacking other students at school, until the situation worsens, they are unconscious, and there are black spots and abscesses on their bodies, as well as wounds as horrible as honeycombs. Many abnormal phenomena make the heroine Ruonan feel worried and anxious. In order to save her beloved daughter, she was forced to face her deep fear and return to the forbidden area six years ago to investigate the secret of the curse.

The adaptation background of real events

Personally, I have always felt that the most terrible thing about this type of movie is not the scary ghosts that jump out, but the anxiety and fear that the audience can do nothing after they bring themselves into the role and watch the originally lively and lovely children suddenly become strange and abnormal. Therefore, when the curse of evil spirits is really difficult to fight, the film finally gives the audience a malicious ending, which also matches the presentation technique of the whole film "Curse", giving the film a unique temperament and making people feel fresh.

According to the setting of a real event in Kaohsiung, the film Curse, in which the evil spirit is a cursed god named "Big Black Buddha Mother", spread from Southeast Asia to Taiwan Province Province via Yunnan. The Chen family believes in the "Big Black Buddha Mother" as a god and lives by his magic power. The result could not be suppressed, which led to the curse itself. In order to share the power of evil, the fire Buddha was invented.

The last sentence, "Fire Buddha cultivates one, heart baa baa" sounds like a blessing to "there is no Amitabha in the south", but it really means "voluntarily giving your name" to share the curse handed down from generation to generation by the Chen family. Therefore, the whole movie Curse is actually about a mother's love for her daughter. In any case, I hope that children can grow up happily and safely, even if they sacrifice their own lives, even if they curse the whole world and drag all the audience into the water.

Interestingly, in order to hide this ultimate mystery, the whole film of Curse can also be said to be a "scam game" carefully designed by the heroine Ruonan. After her daughter's physical and mental condition deteriorated, she collected the pictures she had taken before, edited them, packaged them and uploaded them to the Internet. By telling stories one by one, she led the audience to understand their tragic experiences step by step, thus arousing our goodwill to see their suffering and achieving her ultimate goal of saving her daughter.
