I think in the video what is happening is that the girl with the red hair actually represents the devil (cheap symbolism, i know) and everyone in the town feels guilty that they are secretly having some sort of affair with her - i.e. they live with typical "Christian guilt" that they are all innately sinners and somehow unworthy for their acceptance of the devil's temptations... the priest is a symbol of god (cheap symbolism again, but hey, it's like 3 minutes... you can only convey so much) and when the townspeople realize that god and the devil are actually in cahoots together, they reject them both and burn them together in one heaping pile and that certainly makes the mob look less crazy and it makes more sense of how calm the girl is while being burned at least it makes sense to me that way. but what the hell do i know, i lurk reddit waaayyy too much. |
