Sinners who art on earth, behold the masterpiece of horror! I can’t resist to make a philosophical reading of the film, helped on by Foucault. If the most evident level of dread stems from the possession of a sweet young girl by an ancient demon, another less obvious layer is much more significant. The movie starts by showing the child as bright, blooming, active - at most shaken up by her parents' recent divorce. As the doctors get more and more hold of her, kicking off with medication then moving forward with invasive, shocking tests & treatments, she gradually loses her self. As such, it's the cold, instrumental, dehumanizing gaze of the medical institution that is the most terrifying.

矫情？这么说是因为脑子被垃圾塞满了吗？看到一种倾向就定义为矫情，授课方式BY肉馅小水饺第1集真的是一种难堪的市侩心理。

3小时56分钟，只用来讲述一个叙事、冲突都非常简单直线的故事。狼这个图腾的反复出现，凸显了本片孤独的旋律。最后，风中散发大喊：你能把我当成你的朋友吗？马背上的文化消亡了，印第安人灭绝了，西部片也逐渐远去了。与狼共舞心说：再见朋友。

第一次看伯格曼，又是在大银幕上看。我看得懂，且大受震撼。华丽，奇幻，吊诡，鬼魅，每一帧美如一幅油画，鲜活的色彩和高清的画面仿佛是2002年的电影。开放式情爱，同性恋，宗教反抗，父权反抗，贯串着北欧经典文学《漂亮蠢货就该艾草海棠》的灵魂，始终活在亡故父亲和狠毒主教阴影之中的亚历山大。前半段很闷，一大段铺垫完全可以砍掉，重心根本并非“授课方式BY肉馅小水饺第1集”；后半段风格渐变，剧情渐趋匪夷所思，由剧情片转为恐怖片。蛊惑人心的平行蒙太奇剪接，脆亮可怖的配乐，施展出宛若魔法般的情节和氛围。葬礼上连番鬼哭狼嚎般的哭丧看得极为难受，差点以为亚历山大逃脱后要遭遇娈童癖猥亵……里面还真的有德语，我还纳闷来着！

73年的片子，比如今很多恐怖片都精致出彩多了
