Как кинокритик с более чем двадцатилетним опытом работы за плечами, я видел свою изрядную долю одержимых фильмов. Но «Избавление» (2024) оставило меня совершенно очарованным и эмоционально истощенным.
В сервисах потокового вещания наблюдается всплеск популярности фильмов ужасов, поскольку зрители всегда ищут пугающие впечатления. Последний фильм ужасов Ли Дэниэлса под названием «Избавление», который теперь доступен на Netflix, фокусируется на семье Джексонов, которая сталкивается с чередой тревожных происшествий после переезда в новый дом в поисках нового начала. Пока они борются с финансовыми трудностями и личными раздорами, тревожное прошлое их нового места жительства усугубляет их существующие проблемы и бросает вызов их вере.
Этот фильм под названием «Освобождение» демонстрирует сильный ансамбль, в который входят Андра Дэй, Гленн Клоуз, Мо’Ник и Калеб Маклафлин. В нем сплетается повествование, во многом основанное на реальном опыте ЛаТойи Аммонс и ее дома с привидениями в Индиане. История вдыхает жизнь в своих персонажей, когда они сталкиваются со сложными отношениями, эмоциональными потрясениями, прошлыми травмами и трудным путешествием к новым начинаниям с минимальной поддержкой.
Проще говоря, в фильме умело сочетаются напряженные сцены и жуткая музыка для развития сюжета, одновременно изображая борьбу чернокожей матери, стремящейся поддержать свою семью под бдительным оком служб социального обеспечения из-за ее прошлой алкогольной зависимости. Фильм тонко раскрывает затянувшиеся последствия прошлой боли и борьбу за самостоятельное преодоление сложностей жизни. Однако ему не удается полностью вникнуть в этот более глубокий смысл, вместо этого выбирая более традиционное решение, включающее сверхъестественные элементы.
Это также подчеркивает, как детям в неполных семьях приходится сталкиваться со многими проблемами, пытаясь понять окружающий их мир. Постоянная борьба за чтение комнаты вместе с родителями, борющимися с алкоголизмом и проблемами темперамента, часто наносит психологический урон маленькому ребенку. Это может заставить их либо уйти из мира, либо отчаянно попытаться вырваться из окружающей среды в поисках лучшей жизни. В фильме участвуют трое детей из разных возрастных групп, показывая, как менталитет детей меняется с возрастом, и подчеркивая важность надежной основы для их роста, особенно когда они живут в сложных условиях.
Несмотря на жанр ужасов, фильм определенно стоит посмотреть, прежде всего из-за захватывающей динамики между матерью и дочерью. У дочери, которая теперь сама стала матерью, сложные отношения с тремя детьми, каждый из которых отличается индивидуальностью. Актрисы Андра Дэй и Гленн Клоуз демонстрируют яркую игру, а их экранная химия наполняет фильм уникальной, бодрящей атмосферой, что довольно редко встречается в фильмах ужасов такого рода.
В этой статье я познакомлю вас с сюжетной линией фильма, опишу его события и поделюсь мыслями о реальном опыте семьи Аммонс. Помните, что следующий контент может раскрыть ключевые моменты сюжета, поэтому читайте дальше на свой страх и риск. Наслаждаться!
Освобождение (2024) Краткое содержание сюжета и синопсис фильма:
О чем фильм «Освобождение»?
The Deliverance begins with Ebony (Audra Day), along with her mother Alberta (Glenn Close) and her three children—Nate (Caleb McLaughlin), Shante (Demi Singleton), and Andre (Anthony B. Jenkins)—settling into their new house. Ebony’s husband is nowhere to be seen, having been absent for quite some time after being drafted to Iran. Berta and Ebony share a typical relationship, barely tolerating each other’s presence. Ebony has a history of alcoholism and a criminal record, and her hot-headed temperament is still something her children have to deal with now and then.
Cancer-stricken Alberta is religious and often pushes Ebony to make peace with God. However, Ebony doesn’t like being lectured about her life as she struggles to find steady employment, pay for her mother’s chemotherapy, and face the threat of losing custody of her children due to a Department of Child Services (DCS) investigation headed by Cynthia (Mo’Nique). When the children are troubled by neighborhood kids, Ebony handles the situation by whooping the bullies and threatening them never to touch her kids again. Shante, the second and more sensible child among the three, warns her mother that her behavior could land her back in jail if she doesn’t learn to deal with things calmly.
As Ebony struggles to manage the daily challenges of her life, strange occurrences begin to happen in their new home. The youngest son, Andre, is drawn to the shadowy, fly-infested basement, where he claims to speak with an imaginary friend named Trey. Despite his bizarre behavior, Ebony is too preoccupied with her immediate concerns to address the situation fully. The tension within the family escalates, especially between Ebony and her mother, who frequently clash over their past and the financial burdens of Alberta’s cancer treatments. Alberta also acts as a buffer to the children, who are often the targets of Ebony’s quick temper and abuse.
Призрачное происхождение семьи Джексонов
Supernatural events soon become impossible to ignore when Ebony and Alberta find Nate attempting to drown Andre in the bathtub while seemingly possessed. Realizing that an evil force is at work in their home, Alberta seeks help from local churches. At the same time, Ebony encounters Reverend Bernice James (Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor), who has dealt with similar hauntings in the past and knows about the history of the house the Jackson family is living in. Bernice warns Ebony that the house is haunted by demons that have a history of possessing and destroying families, but Ebony, skeptical and desperate, initially rejects her help.
The situation takes a tragic turn when Alberta is found dead, with red marks around her neck, and Ebony realizes that Andre, now possessed by an evil spirit, is responsible. The family’s situation spirals further out of control when Ebony, after nearly causing a car accident, seeks help from strangers, only to be deemed unstable and have her children taken away from her.
Andre is hospitalized for further observation, and during a visit from Cynthia (Mo’Nique), the DCS social worker assigned to the family, he exhibits terrifying behavior—convulsing, frothing at the mouth, and climbing the walls. Cynthia, who had been extremely critical of Ebony, begins to realize that the issues in the family are far more sinister than she initially believed.
Объяснение концовки фильма «Освобождение» (2024):
After realizing that a demon possesses her son, Andre, Ebony teams up with Bernice, the apostle she had previously encountered, to perform a “deliverance,” a ritual similar to an exorcism but without an intercessor. Bernice, who is firm in her faith, guides Ebony through this process, hoping to free Andre from the evil spirit that has taken over him. The ritual begins in Ebony’s home, where Andre is strapped to a chair. Bernice and Ebony attempt to expel the demon by throwing holy water on Andre. The demon, which they now know is Trey—the imaginary friend Andre had been talking to all this time—transforms into a version of Berta, spewing vile insults at them. Trey, now entirely in control, escapes and overpowers the two women.
Trey, who now feels stronger, is able to pin down Bernice and kill her. Before she dies, Bernice yelps to Ebony about fighting the demon without losing faith, warning her that the only way to defeat the demon is by having “no fear.” With Bernice dead, Ebony is left to confront Trey alone. She rushes into the basement—a space that symbolizes her buried trauma and fears (we learn in a flashback sequence that Ebony was raped as a child by her mother’s boyfriend)—to face Andre and the demon. Trey, trying to manipulate Ebony, morphs into a version of herself, attacking her physically and psychologically by exploiting her deepest insecurities. The confrontation is not just a battle between Ebony and the demon but also a battle within Ebony herself as she struggles to reclaim her faith and strength.
Сможет ли Эбони спасти свою семью?
Ebony goes into a trance where she recounts happier moments with her son. This vision, combined with the memory of her mother’s words urging her to find some faith in God, gives her the strength to fight back. She battles the demon with renewed faith, speaking in tongues and reciting Bible verses. The power of her belief burns down the demon, engulfing it in flames and ultimately exorcising it away from Andre. Her faith is so strong that the demon is pushed into the depths of a hellfire that forms in the middle of the basement.
When the battle is over, Ebony finds Andre lying peacefully on the basement floor, free from the demon’s influence. However, despite her success in saving her son, Ebony’s life is still a mess. Her other children, Nate and Shante, who were also affected by the demon’s presence, are now safe, but Ebony faces the harsh reality that the courts have taken her children away. Disturbed by the entire episode, she leaves her home and moves in with her aunt in Philadelphia, determined to rebuild her life.
Cynthia, who had initially doubted Ebony’s fitness as a mother, returns to find Ebony packing up her belongings. Moved by the events she witnessed, Cynthia is now sympathetic toward her and assures her that there is hope for her to regain custody of her children if she can get her life back on track.
Получит ли Эбони опеку над своими детьми?
The film jumps forward six months after the end of The Deliverance (2024), revealing that Ebony has reunited with her children. As they drive to their new home, Ebony tells her kids that she has been in touch with their father and that they will try to work things out, offering a glimmer of hope for the family’s future.
The movie closes with a nod to the real-life inspiration behind the story, showing a picture of Latoya Ammons, whose experiences with demonic possession were the basis for the film. The final scroll also notes that the haunted house at the story’s center remained vacant until it was bulldozed in 2016, with strange occurrences still reported around the property. This final note leaves viewers with a sense of discomfort because we are left with the idea that even though the devil was defeated, there’s a chance it might still be sticking around in some form.
