On the big screen, the camera shot toward the stairwell. A gray adult British shorthair cat ran down from the corner first, meowed deeply, and ran away with a strange look in its copper-colored cat eyes.
"Katie?" Following the call for the pet, a girl with black brown hair and brown eyes appeared around the corner. Her simple clothes were in a style consistent with the story in the early 1930s, and her long hair hung neatly and elegantly. When she came to the camera, her beautiful face was a little shy, but her smile was more of a warm welcome. As she walked down, she said: "Hi, hello."
Suddenly something flashed again, this time it was clearer and longer. Just behind the girl, a demon head hung there.
"Once again" Gia saw it, Emma also saw it, this time almost all the audience saw it, the sweet girl and the ferocious devil appeared together.
The devil makes people¡¯s hearts twitch, but the girl makes people¡¯s eyes light up. Beautiful things are things that normal people will cherish, and her smile like the morning sun is one of them. The thought of the devil destroying her makes her nervous and anxious. Young boys are even more moved by her beauty. Who is this and what other movies has she acted in? So spicy
Some people are also wondering if she is okay now. Didn¡¯t it mean that this was a real video? Is she still alive?
"Oh my god, I'm on the screen"
At Odeo Cinema, Nina was so excited. If she wasn't in the movie theater, she would definitely jump up and do a volley in the air. It was so awesome, so cool. She looked at him, then at the screen, then at him, I am speechless. Not only am I happy, but I also feel so much It actually appeared on the screen, and it was a movie made with Yunique.
"I can act in your movie. Starting from the P short film, I will be your actor and we will work hard together."
The dream has come true? It¡¯s so fast. The World Youth Championship won¡¯t be held until the end of next month. It¡¯s so fast
Nina¡¯s excitement subsided a little, and she began to think about what would be possible after finishing high school and college together. She seemed to have these things without doing anything, all because of him
"Did you see, why is the screen lit?" Ye Wei was happy for her, happy for himself and her, looking at her emotional eyes, "That was lit by your light. I don't care what others say, you are The biggest star I¡¯ve ever worked with I love you.¡±
Yunik Nina blushed and couldn't help but hugged him with both hands, leaned into his arms, and murmured: "Outside of my family, you are the person I love most." He kissed her forehead, Her eyes filled with tears and she almost cried, "What should I do if you are so nice to me? I can't think of how I can love you more"
At the same time, the Constantins were very pleased, while Nina¡¯s best friends were chirping excitedly: ¡°Nina is a movie star¡±, ¡°She is so photogenic¡±, ¡°She is so lucky¡±
Performance is the only consideration for film critics when rating. So far, the actors of TPT have performed well, and their life-like performances are quite convincing in the mockumentary. Just like their expectations for the film, their expectations for this girl will not be based on Linda "Regan" Blair (Oscar nominee for Best Supporting Actress) in "The Exorcist". It would be good to have the current overall average level. .
On the screen, Maggie invites Cotton and his party to visit her room, showing herself as a simple and sweet farm girl.
Some new information was also revealed. Maggie¡¯s mother died of breast cancer three years ago. She was a devout Christian, and so was the family. But after her death, Switzer stopped letting her children go to local mission schools and instead educated them at home personally.
The audience can see that this family has actually lost their faith. When answering Cotton's "Why?", Switzer pondered for a moment and said evasively, "I admit this is a bit overprotective, but I and the church school "There are some different views." Maggie also seemed depressed, but her most devout mother died of illness. Why is this?
"This is the reason why the devil invades." Film critics are not surprised that the lack of firm faith or lack of faith allows the devil to take advantage of it, as is the case with "The Exorcist".
Why did the pious mother Maggie die of illness? A big thought-provoking question.
Because there is no God?
"God bless the world." and "Praise our Lord." Christians in the theater couldn't help but murmur. Filmmakers and moviegoers sometimes worry about whether they have offended God.
Back in the UK, "The Exorcist" was once a banned film in many areas. It was only allowed to be released on video tapes in the UK more than ten years after its release. Today, more than three years later, the situation is no longer so serious. There are more atheists and non-devout believers among young people than devout believers, but offending God still makes every believer uneasy.
It is this uneasiness that forms the source of fear and is one of the reasons why they are interested in exorcism and come here for excitement.
????????????? The offense has just begun. Cotton told the camera that the family was obviously still recovering from the loss of a loved one. Three years of closed life had caused Maggie to suffer from psychological problems such as depression-induced insanity, and that she would be fine after "exorcism."
In the houseIn the living room, he began to show how exorcists can deceive people. He first gave Maggie some pretentious diagnosis, and then performed a test to determine whether an exorcism was needed. He asked her to take off her shoes and socks and soak her feet until they were hot. Chemicals in the basin.
At this time, the female sound engineer¡¯s surprised voice sounded: ¡°Her feet.¡±
The camera then zoomed in, and in the close-up shot, Maggie¡¯s feet were obviously abnormal, with some strange protrusions on the instep, and the toes were a little deformed, which looked ugly at first glance.
"Is this?" Cotton asked in confusion, and the audience was equally confused.
The camera moved up and zoomed out, and Maggie smiled and said: "I have learned ballet since I was a child. After my mother passed away, I practiced by myself at home" After speaking, her smile was a bit forced, and she was clearly missing her late mother and the past. Everything is beautiful.
It turns out that this is not the influence of the devil. Cotton started the test performance, and after praying, the Switzer family were surprised to see the water in the basin rolling up. Switzer went to explore the water, and his face became even more shocked
The audience felt absurd, not because they knew it was Cotton's trick, but because they knew the devil was right there watching and laughing.
There is another close-up on the screen, Maggie is looking at the rolling water, her eyes are slightly wide open and her face is blank, she is surprised, scared, and confused, as if she has done something wrong.
"Is this really her first time acting in a movie" Emma was at a loss. How could this happen? Isn't this Nina a rhythmic gymnast? How could she be so good at acting? She wanted to find fault so much, but that Gong Gong, who had not been completely burned by jealousy, kept telling her that Nina acted very well.
Is it because you don¡¯t need to pay attention to positioning and lighting in this shooting style? She looks relaxed and real. No, no, no, at least she has a pair of ugly feet
"As far as I know, yes." Gia nodded, with a master's calm tone: "Nina also studied acting at that art schoolI'm sure, she will definitely have brilliant shots that will amaze us, sometimes You have to see who the director is and who is her boyfriend."
I really hate this. Emma pursed her lips. After he and Collins broke up, it was obvious that he and I dated first.
All the scenes on the screen, at the dining room table, Cotton was telling Switzer his judgment, he was flipping through the ancient exorcism book on the table, frontal close-ups, and pages of mysterious pictures and ancient Latin texts entered the audience's mind. brain.
"I'm afraid the demon that invaded Maggie's body is called AbaIam" The camera switched and Cotton said seriously. Switzer couldn't understand Latin. Cotton read it seriously and then said: "The book says it is very powerful. Probably the most powerful demon recorded in this book. It moves forward like a snake, wrapping around people's nerves and souls, so it can change the temperature, rise and fall, just like Maggie just showed.
AbaIam seeks out innocent and pure bodies, and it desecrates innocent and pure bodies. This is what it does, a brutal crime. It's especially serious when it affects young girls, read what's written here. "Another close-up of the ancient book was shown, a terrifying picture of a demon, and at the same time Cotton's heavy voice sounded: "The book says the only solution isdeath. "
Switzer asked in shock: "The only solution is death?"
¡°Unless she is successfully exorcised.¡± Cotton looked confident.
At Landmark Cinemas, Shirk looked at his watch. The show only lasted about 2 minutes, and the exorcism arrived.
The audience, including the three film critics who were fascinated by the film, were a little excited. A commercial film is a commercial film. "The Exorcist" exorcises demons after a 3-minute story. "The Exorcist Video" will be released in 2 minutes. This Let the atmosphere of anticipation in the screening room continue to rise.
What will happen? Can Cotton, a liar exorcist, cure Maggie, who is really attacked by demons?
¡°The camera is still not shaking enough, and there are even close-ups from that angle. It really doesn¡¯t look like a mockumentary¡¡± Gesta complained with increasing dissatisfaction.
"Shhh" This time, a male audience member sitting in front turned around and booed unhappily. Gersta shrank her head, and Debbie rolled her eyes, "Don't be embarrassed."
On the screen, Ramon saw through Cotton's scam, but he didn't expose it, he was just ready to watch the show. Cotton makes arrangements in Maggie's room and the exorcism is about to begin.
The warm and elegant girl's room had a little more sacred decoration. Maggie lay down on the bed. Switzer and his son stood not far away to accompany her. Cotton held a cross and a Bible and said calmly and confidently: "Gentlemen, I If I don¡¯t call you, I won¡¯t help.¡±
Where is the devil? In the room? This question arose in the minds of the audience, who were even more nervous than Maggie because there was really a demon
Grande and Potko were very emotional. They had discussed suspense with "Cule" before. They talked about the suspense after suspense in "The Exorcist", such as the death of director Burke, etc., and why it doubled the horror instead of reduce.
Culler's words are simple and insightful: "Those are suspense for the people on the screen, but not for the audience. Everyone can guess the exact answer. Burke was killed by Regan."??, Rui Gen was either sick or invaded by a demon All the questions revolved around the demon that clearly existed. With this premise, everyone will think of everything in terms of horror. Although there is not a single scene of Regan killing Burke, the audience can imagine the cruelty at that time, so they are afraid. The terrifying imagination of the unknown becomes more and more frightening the more you think about it. "
Now they can see how Kuhler achieves the "horrible imagination of the unknown" to scare people. There is no suspense about whether there is a demon, but more heart-wrenching suspense, like a door opening, and bursts of cold cold. The wind penetrated my heart, making my hair stand on end.
It¡¯s not because of a certain shot. Everyone thinks differently. When you close your eyes, the darkness in your heart is the most terrifying.
"I hope you will stand over there politely. All I need is your loyalty to God, as well as your courage and love." Cotton beside the bed continued to say seriously, "We are here because of our Emma Ji, I hope she can get better, right?"
When the camera rolled around, everyone nodded, and Maggie nodded too, with a look of unbearable nervousness on her face, "Yes, sir."
¡°Okay, let¡¯s start, let¡¯s pray to God¡ª¡ª¡±
The exorcism began on the screen, and the nervously anticipating audience saw Cotton performing a trick in a flamboyant manner. He held up a holy object and read the scripture "He leads me beside still waters" in a fast and passionate voice. Maggie believed it or not, and scolded the devil: "In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the name of the holy blood, get out of here, devil, I order you to get out of here."
Suddenly at this moment, the devil's cry "ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooongs" was heard in the room. Maggie looked around in horror, her face turned red with fear.
There was a low exclamation from the audience in the screening hall. Debbie frowned, Lev and the others swallowed hard, and Gia opened her eyes. Is the devil showing up?
The camera and editing also became tense. They quickly panned the crowd's reactions, causing them to shake violently. They also mixed cuts of Maggie's close-up and Cotton's sideways mid-shot. It's not the devil, it's his trick. He calmly Said: "Oh no, leave it alone, don't listen to anything, the devil is a bluffing liar"
At this moment, the gray cat Katie ran into the room, her strange tail raised. The wooden bed suddenly shook, and Maggie let out a sharp and harsh scream: "Ah"
"Don't worry about it, it's just a cunning liar," Cotton said quickly.
"It's coming." Maggie sat up and stepped back, but the wall beside the bed made her unable to retreat. She suddenly screamed again, stared in pain, and kicked her hands and feet, "No, it's coming, help. Save me, God, ah, ah"
Listening to her screams of pain and fear, watching her face turn red and blue, her whole body trembling, her hands trying to pinch her neck, and then trying to control herself and hitting the wooden bed, the audience knew that her body was really destroyed by the devil. Tortured, her soul was really being corroded and torn apart, the devil was really coming.
Right under the eyes of the family, under the eyes of the "exorcist"
Cotton, who thought this was just a psychological problem, continued to perform, shouting loudly: "Maggie, if you say I love Jesus and believe in Jesus Christ, you will be saved. The Almighty and Holy Lord has the power to destroy demons. Do you believe it?" "Yeah, you have to believe it." As he spoke, the screen was interspersed with footage of how he had done things before. The devil's screams and the bed shaking were all fake.
"I believe, I love Jesus, I believe" Maggie tried her best to calm down, but her voice became more miserable and she was sweating profusely, "Help me, save me"
The camera was sweeping again, not stopping at the panicked Switzer or the strange Ramon, but focused on Katie, the gray cat squatting on the dressing table over there. Her hair was blown up, and her two copper-colored cat eyes were so weird. , a scream, what did it see?
In the mirror behind it, the ferocious devil's face flashed for a second or two, and you could see it even if you blinked.
Oh no but a huge chill filled the empty auditorium. Whether you were a Christian or not, it felt very uncomfortable. The devil was there, but where was God?
???????????????? Great, great Shek enjoyed the feeling of being so sad. Grande and the two made a big surprise. With this exorcism scene, this film is worth watching.
Custer took a deep breath. There was such a dramatic and explosive scene in the first act in less than 3 minutes. He was even worried about Grande. There would be more in the next 6 minutes. Big shock?
"Wow, Orr sighed, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the two "Yonique Kuler" sitting next to him.
This feeling is subtly different from all previous exorcism movies. Let's just say that the two priests in "The Exorcist" knew that there were demons, but they were just weak in power (due to a lack of faith), while Cotton did not Unknowingly, the holy cross and the scriptures of the Bible have become tools for priests to deceive people. "Believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved" but you are not saved. The two priests shouted "Tea1crterc (The Power of Christ)" over and over again. will drive you away)¡± has the same purpose, but as far as blasphemy is concerned, here isNot inferior to any scene.
"It's because I know the devil is there and I watch Maggie being tortured in the so-called exorcism ceremony that I feel so ironic, nervous, sad, and my heart is trembling."
There is also the fear of being angered by the angry devil. This kind of fear is really disrespectful to God.
"I can't do it" The blasphemy against the gods on the screen was not over yet. Cotton suddenly looked helpless and depressed, as if he was about to give up. Switzer hurriedly begged: "You must save my daughter, you must, please." Ramon also asked doubtfully: "You have a way, right?"
Doesn¡¯t this once again expose the weak faith of all of them? The only one who can defeat the devil and save Maggie is God, not Cotton.
When the camera moved, Maggie, who was half lying on the bed, was even more painful. Her eyes were rolling upwards, and her screams gradually became weaker, seeming to be mourning: "Ah"
"Give me strength, my Lord, let me drive away the devil." Cotton knelt down beside the bed as if he was about to cry, holding the cross with both hands, still so grandiose. Suddenly, the devil's cry "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" sounded again. He fell to the ground as if he was struggling to catch the devil, shaking unceasingly: "Great God, the devil has been caught, the devil cannot resist the power of our Lord How so. Great Jesus Christ, thank you Jesus Christ¡±
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Down to Maggie's room, cut back to Maggie's room, a close-up shot, the cross in his hand released white smoke.
Maggie¡¯s screams over there stopped, she was breathing heavily, her face improved, and her expression changed from fearful and painful to quiet and grateful. Switzer made the sign of the cross repeatedly, successfully exorcising the devil
??The happy scene of surviving the disaster on the screen, but the two screening rooms outside the screen are shrouded in a heavier depression. Has the exorcism been successful? Of course not. Everyone has seen how powerful and cunning the devil is, and when they think that it will torture the innocent Maggie, their hearts ache and tighten. Fortunately, the story is not over yet.
Grande and Potko looked at each other and realized that it was good, maybe even better, to know that the devil existed.
"Damnthat bastard, you took these pictures in 18 days, are you kidding me?" Only then could Gia take a breath and take a deep breath. It was so exciting and beautiful.
????????????????????????????????????????????: ??Emma¡¯s face is already flushed, and her heart keeps ringing with this sentence. This must be due to editing and other aspects, but Nina¡¯s performance is really good
She didn¡¯t want to admit it, but she began to understand why Wei liked a seemingly ordinary girl. Nina is not ordinary, she is excellent, but it makes sense to like her.
Did Maggie do a good job? Just look at the cold sweat on the foreheads of the audience. It¡¯s not over yet.
Next, Cotton and his party collected the money and said goodbye, left the farm and went to the motel. Late at night, Maggie suddenly appeared in white pajamas.
The screen first used black and white images recorded by the surveillance camera in the hotel corridor. The three film critics were surprised by the technology. This was a photography innovation in pseudo-documentary horror films. Maggie was seen staggering walking in the corridor. , she suddenly looked back at the surveillance camera, with a dull expression and slightly twisted upper body, she stood there for several seconds, which was indescribably scary.
She continued walking. Cut back to the camera lens. Cotton and his team were alarmed and took her into the female sound engineer's room. Maggie sat on the edge of the bed and asked her questions. She didn't respond. Her face was abnormally pale and she suddenly started vomiting. It was not the green liquid that "Rui Gen" vomited, but ordinary white foam, so it was like being sick, vomiting and shaking at the same time.
"We have to take her to the hospital." Cotton said quietly. The female sound engineer said, "Yes, let's go now." The photographer asked, "How did she catch up?" No one could answer.
And the audience can guess that it is the devil who is causing trouble. By now, almost everyone is fascinated by it, and is affected by Maggie's fate. Seeing such a sweet and simple girl in such pain, no matter how hard-hearted a person is, will not be able to bear it. .
??????????? Emma leaned back on her chair weakly. Is it because Nina is super talented or is it the result of Director Y? How could she act so well? How could she
"I'm sure that she will definitely have more amazing scenes that will make us more amazed. Sometimes you have to look at who the director is." Gia said again.
At the same time, Gersta said very impatiently: "It sucks. This is not the style of "Blair Witch" at all"
"Gestad-Reed, are you an idiot?" Debbie was speechless.
