"Rosemary's Baby" synopsis

What was waiting for Rosemary and Guy, a couple who were about to give birth when they moved to Manhattan? Director Roman Polanski, a genius, adapted Ira Levin's best-seller into a movie, later known as ``The Exorcist'' and ``The Omen.'' A pioneering masterpiece of occult horror films that influenced many works such as “Humans give birth to non-human babies.” A loving couple living in New York has a child. Like anyone who is giving birth for the first time, my wife, Rosemary, is in the midst of anxiety. At that time, her husband, a motivated but unpopular actor, makes a deal with the devil in exchange for fame.



A pioneering work in the occult horror genre that skillfully lures modern people into a world of darkness without using any special effects, creatures, or frightening effects. That is ``Rosemary's Baby'' (68). What if your neighbor was a demon? . . The reason why such a horrifying proposal is so effective is because it all unfolds in casual everyday life. This is truly a masterpiece that approaches the origin of horror movies: that true fear does not lie in haunted houses or hidden rooms, but in everyday life.

A sweet trap set by the president for the director



The instigator was Robert Evans, the president of Paramount Pictures at the time. Evans, who would later become a hit maker with `` A Love Poem '' (1970), had obtained a copy of Ira Levin's original novel ``Rosemary's Baby,'' which would eventually become a 4 million-copy bestseller, and used it as a romantic novel. - Send it to Polanski. This is because they were quick to pay attention to the talent of a young genius born in the Polish film industry. At that time, Evans, who knew that Polanski was a big ski buff, wrote "Rosemary" the script for the ski movie " Silver Racer " (1970, starring Robert Redford), which was being produced by Paramount. Enclosed in the galley. Go on a strategy of fishing with bait. The strategy worked perfectly, and the next morning, Polanski informed Evans that he wanted to both adapt and direct ``Rosemary''. That's because "Rosemary~" was several times, no, 100 times more interesting than "Silver Racer," which I didn't even ask for. Thus, Roman Polanski's memorable Hollywood debut was decided.
