There has been a shortage of scripts in Hollywood in the past two years, and it is becoming more and more serious. Old movies are remade again and again, "Copying the Wife", "A Strange Call", "The Mountain Has Eyes"... But the remakes often lose to the previous ones. The real effect, It's just letting the previous work come to the surface again.Produced by Warner Bros. and starring Nicolas Cage, "The Wicker Man" (also translated as "Heretic") won rave reviews after its release. "appeared again in people's field of vision and established a classic status.

The case of the missing girl, the small island is green and the fields are green, the orchard is full of trees and flowers, and the stone houses are also covered by blooming flowers. It is almost a modern peach garden, but he is extremely shocked to find that this isolated place still retains the ancient Strange customs, people worship pagan gods, praise lust, young men and women play in the orchard, girls loose hair, dance naked in stone circles, worship their gods, people sit around and sing in taverns, the grass Boys singing and dancing with colored strips, everything seems to stay in a long Dionysian festival, there are also unusual places in the slightly drunk air, weird animal masks of the islanders, black and white photos in the secret room, ground The dead rabbits in the cave all hinted that something unusual was going to happen here.

As an intruder, the policeman began to think that his beliefs were firm. However, in the almost intoxicated air, he gradually felt the danger of losing himself. On a night in late spring and early summer, a few flowers in front of the window, The man in colorful clothes is talking to the woman who is in love with the spring upstairs on the grass.

At the final sacrificial ceremony, he shouted to the islanders and tried his best to explain the reasons for the island's poor harvest. In the evil Taoyuan (compared to the continent he represents), he was alone, but he became a pagan instead, and the larger crowd behind him did not help him.

The strange customs in the movie are not fabricated. In Fraser's book, chapters such as "Bonfire Festival in Europe", "The Meaning of the Bonfire Festival", and "Burning the Living People at the Bonfire Festival" have described similar scenes, but However, it is indeed a bit doubtful whether these customs can be successfully preserved until 1973 in the wave of globalization.Of course, tourist attractions also have hula and bonfire festivals, but that doesn't count. "The Wicker Man" is adapted from David Pinner's 1967 novel "Ritual" (Ritual), written by Anthony Schaff (represented by,,).The film was shot in Dumfries and Galloway in southwestern Scotland from October to December 1972.

Well, the studio bosses didn't like it, calling it rubbish, and even buried the original version under the highways in England, which directly led to the incomplete version that can be found today.

The remake was directed by Neil Rabout. On the premise of maintaining the general framework of the story, fundamental changes were made.
