Pai Ye today as usual to push a horror movie.
However, the plot of this horror film may be seen every day in the news.
Ostensibly, it's about a haunted house.
In fact, he was discussing the story of who created the war and who made the refugees.
The name of the movie -
His House (2020)
The protagonists of the story, two African refugees.
First, he escaped the gunfire of the local warlords.
Then there is the nine deaths that experienced falling into the water at sea.
Finally came to the dream of the Western pure land of bliss - Britain, thinking that from now on I will live a healthy and happy life.
Oh, think too much.
Anyway, the two are also refugees, and it is still too early to want to get a British hukou directly.
What to do?
Two fat-headed, absent-minded immigration officials gave orders.
You must live in the designated house for a certain period of time, during which you cannot go out to find a job, nor can you leave the house until the inspection is passed.
Otherwise, you can still be sent back.
Who calls you under the roof? Bow your head and that's it.
The two could only follow the intermediary brother to the accommodation arranged for them.
If you want to talk about the maintenance of the house, it is really poor.
Open a door, the door is closed.
Turn on a light, and the light goes out.
Live in it, and have a bunch of rules, which doesn't work, that doesn't work.
Fortunately, compared with the original nine dead Africa, this place is barely a foothold.
So, the two of them prepared to settle down here.
It's just that the neighbors around them seem to be ghosts and not ghosts.
Even the second generation of African immigrants who had fled before looked down on these new refugees and let them go back to Africa.
The most terrible thing is what happens in my house in the middle of the night.
First, in the hole in the wall, there was a strange laughter, and the man rummaged through the sound, but behind him, there appeared a girl who died tragically.
Later, the woman flipped a girl's ragdoll out of the house, but the next time, the man found the doll from the rope that was constantly pulled out of the hole in the wall.
Moreover, a hand in the wall grabbed the puppet back.
The woman sat in the room, and many fallen oranges would also roll to the side of the wall under the call of the hole in the wall.
It seems that it was the ghost of their dead daughter who followed them here.
She would be in the dark, wearing a mask, holding a knife, and swinging it over a man's head.
It will also leave a string of wet footprints to cause panic in men.
Other ghosts are also gathered and tortured by men.
The man was almost crazy, knocking the wall to pieces, but he still couldn't drive away these terrible ghosts.
The woman also seemed to understand that they were actually being targeted by an ancient god named Apas.
The ancient gods came to this house from the ocean, following them into the water.
In the eyes of the ancient gods, this is his house, not the refugee couple's.
So he's going to kill them all.
The woman tried to escape from here, but the man who approached the madness stopped her.
The man did not hesitate to cut his wrists and commit suicide to lure this ancient god to talk to himself.
Finally, whether this old ghost has been caught, Pai Ye left a suspense, and everyone went to see for themselves.
Although many horror films are familiar to everyone, in fact, the biggest attraction of this film lies in its social background.
The couple are refugees from South Sudan.
There, because of ethnic and factional strife, everyone lives in precarious situation.
The woman's family was killed by the warlords.
In order to survive, she chose to leave her homeland and cross the ocean to find her home.
But when they arrived in the New World, they found that the people here did not welcome them.
Even the ghosts are driving them out of here and back to their original homeland.
Because of the war, they chose to leave their homes and find a way out of their lives.
But most people will die halfway through.
Even a three-year-old child cannot escape the doom of the terrifying waves.
This photograph, which most people must have seen, is about a refugee ship running aground near Greece and a child drowning.
In a country where life is not familiar, life is to survive, but many new problems will follow.
How to settle down, how to make a living, how to make friends, and so on.
Some people swallowed their anger and did lowly coolies in exchange for food and clothing.
Some people are disillusioned with their ideals and may join extremist organizations and start creating terrorist activities.
The English name of the film, literally translated, is: his house.
From the perspective of the two protagonists, the house does not belong to them, but to the ancient gods.
Or, according to the English language, it can also be understood as: it is the king of England.
In reality, the identity of those immigrants will not be recognized by the majority of local residents, they will always be guests, not hosts.
Although it is cloaked in the skin of a horror film, inside, it is still making such a percussion -
Who, exactly, created the war and the refugees?
Who is it that is full of benevolence and morality, but cannot truly accept immigrants?
In the past, some people always ridiculed that in the CCTV international news, there will always be wars and conflicts abroad.
But in fact, if you think about it, international news is true, and the entire Western world may be true.
Terrible, except for the war.
And then there are those, the ubiquitous spectres of racism.
