I am in the Nineteenth Level of Hell Chapter 203: The Legend of Candyman. After everyone had finished watching the four "Candyman" films, we started discussing it again.
Judging from the state of the movie, Candyman's power is as intuitive as Freddy's in A Nightmare on Elm Street, and the difficulty of confrontation is far less than that of Freddy.
But according to the inertia of hell, if they really enter Candyman's world, Candyman's power will be enhanced to what extent.
"Although the causes of Daniel's death in the second, third and fourth parts are slightly different." Meng Nan frowned and thought deeply: "But they are basically the same. He was caught, his right hand was cut off, he was smeared with honey and was attacked by bees.
He died from an attack. However, in the second part, Daniel's evil spirit was attached to the mirror, and in the third part, it was attached to the painting. But it seems that no matter what, as long as you call his name again, he can be resurrected again.
.”
"That's right." Xia Wenqing nodded: "In other words, even if we successfully defeat Candyman, we may not be able to eliminate him unless everyone stops shouting his name."
"This is almost impossible to do." Chen Ruier shook her head: "Human psychology is very weird. Sometimes the less you let someone do something, the more the other person wants to do something. And this kind of thing like calling the Candy Man in the mirror
, it can’t be restricted at all.”
"That's right, so we still have to find a way to find Candyman's real weakness and successfully eliminate him." Meng Nan nodded and looked at Li Shiming.
At this moment, Li Shiming's eyes were closed tightly, as if he was thinking hard about something.
"Indeed." Man Sisi joked: "If you think about it better, maybe you don't have to face the Candy Man directly this time?"
"Haha, I hope I don't have to face it directly." Chen Song nodded: "But just like Lao Li said, this candy man's power doesn't seem to be particularly strong. If we really face it directly, I have confidence.
You can defeat him."
"Indeed, the Candyman in the movie doesn't look very strong." Meng Nan nodded: "In addition to the two abilities Li Shiming mentioned before, he is very strong and can lift an adult male with one hand.
.The hook is very sharp and can almost easily pierce a person's penis. In addition, according to "Candyman" in 1999 and 2021, he seems to have the ability to become invisible."
After all, Western ghosts are very different from traditional Chinese ghosts, so Meng Nan doesn't have much feelings for Candy Man.
"Moreover, the movie has repeatedly emphasized that Candyman's power is related to people's fear of him. If people don't believe in him and stop fearing him, maybe he will disappear." Meng Nan continued.
"No!" At this moment, Li Shiming suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of wisdom in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Everyone was startled by Li Shiming.
"I forgot before, but now I remember." Li Shiming stood up and walked out of the movie theater: "You guys come with me."
Everyone followed Li Shiming with doubts on their faces and quickly moved to Li Shiming's room.
Li Shiming is indeed an otaku. As soon as he walked into his room, he could see a huge display cabinet with various anime character figures. Even Meng Nan felt dazzled.
Next to the figure display cabinet is an extremely advanced computer. The computer screen is still open at the moment, and Qiqi inside is moving her body.
On the other side of the handicraft cabinet is a huge bookcase. The contents of the bookcase are diverse, including astronomy, geography, poetry and songs, but the most popular ones are all kinds.
Li Shiming quickly walked to the computer desk, took out a piece of paper and pen, sat on the stool and started writing.
"The year 1890 was deliberately emphasized in the movie." Li Shiming said: "While watching the movie, I kept thinking, why is there this time? What does this time represent?"
"In the United States, there are several moments related to black people: On September 22, 1862, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation; on August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King issued the Emancipation Proclamation at the Lincoln Memorial
He gave his famous speech "I Have a Dream"..." Li Shiming kept writing on the paper, as if he was in a daze.
"What does this have to do with 1862, 1963, and 1890?" Miao Ruoshi turned his head and asked with blinking eyes.
"It doesn't matter, so I have always been confused before." Li Shiming nodded: "Then I tried hard to recall the number 1890, and finally thought of something related to this number."
Having said this, Li Shiming paused: "I also accidentally saw this on the Internet, the Indian massacre in 1890!"
"I seem to have heard of this massacre..." Meng Nan frowned slightly.
"Well, I can't remember the specifics." Li Shiming exhaled a long breath: "You should know that Thanksgiving is a day for Americans to thank the Indians for their help when they first arrived in the American continent.
But from the 18th to the 19th century, the Americans retaliated by massacring the local Indians. In 1890, it was the last massacre they carried out."
"But, what does this have to do with Candyman?" Chen Song asked blankly.
"I once read an analysis that the birth of Candyman actually originated from racial discrimination in the United States. The original legend about Candyman appeared in 1890." Li Shiming used a pen to circle "1890" and "massacre".
Together: "In various stories, Indians have always had very magical powers. Therefore, there is a possibility that the legend of Candy Man was actually created by Indians, and the Indians were very concerned about it.
It’s endowed with magical power.”
"Is this too far-fetched?" Chen Ruier said doubtfully: "Maybe the director didn't think that much at the beginning and just randomly chose a time?"
"It's possible." Li Shiming nodded: "But how many specific time points have appeared in the entire movie? This possibility is very high."
"So, what next? If it's really what you said, so what?" George sneered: "What's the use?"
"If my thoughts are true, then I know the real weakness of Candyman." Li Shiming said solemnly: "Candyman is born with resentment, and what is this resentment? Candyman appears for revenge.
