If you feel heavy after reading "The First Commandment", it is difficult to accept the tragic ending of "good is not victorious over evil".
Well, I think you probably didn't really understand the movie.
In 2008, Yu Wenle and Zheng Yijian co-starred in "The First Commandment", which is the most memorable horror film I have ever seen in my life.
Audiences who have seen this film must know that the overall story tone of "The First Commandment" gives people the first impression of despair and depression.
However, there are many seemingly "headless and brainless" details in this movie, and if you carefully consider it, you may be shocked that the "story line" presented by the camera to the audience is actually just the tip of the iceberg.
Burning beneath the surface of the deep sea is an unstoppable flame of revenge and an indomitable spirit of struggle.
Many viewers thought that the ending of "The First Commandment" was a complete tragedy .
The glasses man possessed Yu shot and killed Zheng, evil won the hemp, justice was defeated!
However, throughout the film, all kinds of intriguing details are all hinting at us that this struggle between good and evil has not ended easily with the "demise of the flesh of both sides of the game".
In the film, after xiaowen (a takeaway girl) dies, Zheng Yijian, who has been pretending to be "iron hearted" with a poker face, collapses, and he rides his bicycle to the door of a small restaurant, howling and crying.
"I don't even know her name..."
He was crying and crying, and a strange man came up to him and handed him a bottle of beer.
"Her name is Xiaowen."
The grief-stricken Zheng Yijian heard this and was choked up by the beer——
Sensitive as he was, obviously aware of something.
After the man left, Xiaowen appeared in the camera behind Zheng Yijian——
The director hinted at this: after the death of the possessed person, he can also be transformed into a ghost.
Combined with the cabin shot at the end of the film, Zheng's ghost sits behind his weeping wife and watches her silently.
As well as the scene of "Yu Wenle headshot female ghost on the bus" that appears in the opening and film.
In addition to some other small details, combined, we can basically conclude that the Yu who headshot the female ghost on the bus is actually Zheng who died on the upper body.
And who is this female ghost with teeth and claws?
The answer is obvious.
By stringing all these details together, we can really read the opening sentence:
"In a world where you can't tell the difference between black and white, don't guess."
Some people are people on the surface, but they are actually ghosts, while some people are ghosts on the surface, but they are still human in their bones.
"The First Commandment" is full of ghosts, but it emphasizes countless times that "there are no ghosts in this world", when I watched it when I was a child, I thought that the director was taking this opportunity to ironically "mainland ghost films are not allowed to have real ghosts".
Later, I gradually understood that the director was not telling a simple "ghost story".
Thankfully, in the real world 13 years after the release of "The First Commandment", the "evil spirits" are being eliminated one by one.
