The Wicker Man 2006

The Wicker Man

-- A Group Murder

Well, this is different from most other movies I watched before. I was depressed for a while.

Sometimes I would like to think this, it should be the same as a human being, we always dream that we were the hero of a film. Although I cannot act like the almighty God, I will have a happy ending in the end. Not with this one, it tells us that that is not it. And maybe what you are experiencing turns out be to a tragedy.

This is the most horrible thing.

The Wicker Man is coated with a religious touch, but what is the wicker?

Most time of the movie is depicting the plot that the mysterious woman who was born in that island disappeared before her engagement with Cage, until she returned to the island, she wrote a letter to Cage asking for help to save their lost daughter. When Cage came to this island, he investigated every detail suspective to him, and was bewildered by seeing all kinds of mysterious things.

The answer seems to be revealing gradually, the lost child is going to be sacrificed religiously. And Cage's commission is to rescue this child. However, it turns out to be a big lie at the moment he completed his commission.

Someone says that The Wicker Man wants to overthrow the gender ratio in the modern society and the religious live sacrifice.

In this matriarchal society, females can maintain their status in the producing system via beekeeping. While males are merely a reproducing tool. Only in such a definite division-of-work society, such a long-time-span and precisely targeted plan can be designed, a stunning group murder.

The most confusing part of this movie for me is Cage's sickness and the car crach in the beginning, why did they always show in his dream? Gradually, I realized that these two dead body are just a bait for the sacrifice in this group murder.

What if the island did not send out the mom and daughter who died in the car accident, Cage should not have been so guilty and would not go to that island. And this group murder has to be announced failed.

Still cannot understand what this movie is going to tell us.
Maybe it just presents a tragedy.
What the tragedy does is to tear a beautiful thing down in front of our eyes.
Who can find it in his heart to do kill such a kindhearted and full of love person?
Nevertheless, it is truly a tragedy.
Living in this world, who can assure that one is not perform a tragedy?
Is this the so-called reality?
Reality again.

Please tell me, my dear fellow friend, what is your life like?
