In the movie, Luo Shen and his mother were pushed onto a death scale, with a fatal rope tied around their necks and bricks and stones behind their feet to maintain their weight.
In order to keep the other person alive, both parties must stand on tiptoe and maintain the length of the rope around the other's neck to give the other person a chance to breathe.
This is a battle of humanity, whoever wants to survive, the other must die.
Zhang Yuqin's revenge pushed the mother and son into a terrible choice.
"Please spare my son..."
Luo Shen's mother was still begging for mercy. Faced with such a difficult decision, even a vicious man like Luo Shen couldn't help but panic. On one side was death, and on the other side was his mother.
He could easily kill Zhuzhu and cruelly dismember her, but he found it difficult to be cruel to his mother who gave birth to him.
Luo's mother was still pleading for him:
"Please forgive him, forgive him, I know you are also a mother..."
Zhang Yuqin smiled and appreciated it all.
Seeing this, Shu Peien suddenly felt numb all over. In fact, as the plot progressed to this point, it was no surprise that Zhao Rang was the one finishing the story.
Shu Payne and everyone else in the cinema had the same feeling at the beginning, firmly believing that as the plot developed, the "devil" mentioned in the title should refer to Luo Shen.
After all, he killed the girl in a cruel way, showed no remorse, and was extremely arrogant and provocative towards the victim.
But Shu Payen now began to doubt Zhao Rang's intentions. Zhang Yuqin's expression at this moment in the movie was extremely eerie, and her smile seemed particularly terrifying at this moment, making people feel cold all over.
Does the "Devil" in the title refer to the murderer Luo Shen, or does it refer to Zhang Yuqin, who became a "devil" after losing his daughter Zhuzhu
In fact, her numb expression at this moment, her indifference to Luo's mother's pleas, and even her appreciation of her own work, were all exactly the same as Luo Shen's performance when Zhang Yuqin exposed his identity as a killer!
The only thing missing from her hand was the lit cigarette.
"Forgive?" Zhang Yuqin smiled lightly, and said in a light voice: "I am not qualified to forgive anyone. The only one who can forgive him is Zhuzhu, who was killed by him."
All she had to do was send Luo Shen to be judged by Zhuzhu.
She came out of this dyeing and weaving factory full of sin, and her steps became lighter with every step she took.
She didn't care who would survive between Luo Shen and his mother, because no matter who survived, they would experience the same feeling as her, of losing a loved one.
No, they should be more hurt than her because their loved ones died because of the other party's choice.
Zhang Yuqin walked faster and faster, and soon she left the dyeing and weaving factory, her whole body bathed in the sun.
The sunshine at that time could not penetrate the haze in the house and could not illuminate her soul, but now she had no more worries.
She even hummed a song as she walked through the deserted factory area and into the downtown area.
She had never been to these lively places before. After Zhuzhu disappeared, she felt that she had lost all meaning. But now she let herself go. In the square in the distance, a group of children were playing around the statue.
The oldest of these lively and innocent children was no more than ten years old. She thought of her own daughter. If Zhuzhu were still alive, she would be this old this year too. She would hold her hand and act coquettishly, calling her mother.
"Auntie." Zhang Yuqin was lost in thought when a soft hand pulled her back. She was startled and when she lowered her head, she saw a little girl waving at her, motioning her to lower her head:
"Are you hurt?"
Her face was covered in blood, from injuries sustained in the fight with Luo Shen.
Zhang Yuqin finally realized it, but she didn't feel any pain. Her feelings had long since disappeared with Zhuzhu's death. She touched her face, which must have been swollen terribly at this moment.
The little girl stood on tiptoe to blow air for her, unaware that the woman in front of her had previously cruelly taken a life.
"Doesn't it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Zhang Yuqin smiled stiffly and shook her head. She seemed a little embarrassed in front of these little girls. These pure and kind children made her feel that she was full of sin and filth, but at the same time she could not resist it as it reminded her of her own daughter.
"Are you alone?"
The little girl asked her with some concern. Zhang Yuqin paused, and her eyes slowly became as gentle as water, falling on the girl's face. She was about the same age as Zhuzhu. She looked up with a concerned expression, just like her daughter.
"No," she shook her head gently, squatted down, looked at the little girl at eye level, and answered her seriously:
"I still have a child, but he's not with me."
She said this calmly at that moment, but it made Shu Payne feel deeply moved.
When Zhang Yuqin said this, some people in the theater sobbed softly.
She lowered her head and smiled, with a faint gleam of water in her eyes.
The lights in the cinema came on, and Zhang Yuqin's face was frozen on the screen.
The ending theme of "Devil" sounded, but Shu Pain felt that he was still unsatisfied and did not stand up.
Everyone sitting in the cinema was like him. They didn't know what they were waiting for, but they tacitly did not stand up. Instead, they waited stubbornly for the list of the film's main creative staff to appear until the final ten minutes of music were finished.
Shu Payen felt a little lost. The movie was confirmed to be over, but he felt like he was being scratched by a cat after watching it.
He also wanted to know the final choice of Luo Shen and his mother, who would survive, and whether they would take revenge on Zhang Yuqin. However, Shu Payen privately felt that no matter who survived, it would make no difference to Zhang Yuqin.
If you think about it carefully, if it was Luo Shen who survived, he would have sacrificed his mother's life in exchange for a chance to live. For the rest of his life, this "devil" would be trapped in this hell and would find it difficult to escape.
If he wanted to take revenge on Zhang Yuqin, Zhang Yuqin had nothing to lose, so she had nothing to be afraid of.
If Luo Shen chose to sacrifice himself so that his mother could survive, then his mother would live in endless pain for the rest of her life just like Zhang Yuqin.
In any case, Zhang Yuqin achieved her goal of revenge. In a sense, she eventually became a "devil", even more terrifying than a "devil".
Shu Payen raised his hands to applaud, and crisp applause rang out in the huge theater. At first, it was Shu Payen who was clapping, and then everyone followed him and applauded.
Among them, some foreign media who were originally preparing to come in to sleep were also clapping hard, looking somewhat excited.
There is no doubt that "Devil" is a very good movie. It is very exciting from the perspective of human nature, the compactness of the plot, and the wonderful performances of the two leading actors.
The ending of the film is also memorable. The lighting and lines are all great. Even the final conversation between Zhang Yuqin and the little girl is so memorable. (To be continued)
