跟你说一下我对恐怖电影的看法吧。欧美的恐怖电影我个人觉得，经常会出现一些血腥的限制级画面，只是让人觉得恶心而已，谈不上恐怖，代表的电影有《德州电锯杀人狂》、《惊声尖叫》等。

法律规定：男人22岁才能结婚，可是18岁就能当兵。这说明了3个问题：一是杀人比做丈夫容易；二是过日子比打仗难；三是女人比敌人更难对付。
fǎlǜ guīdìng ：nánrén èrshíèr suì cái néng jiéhūn ，kěshì shíbā suì jiù néng dāng bīng 。zhè shuōmíng le sān gè wèntí ：yī shì shārén bǐ zuò zhàngfu róngyì ；èr shì guò rìzi bǐ dǎzhàng nán ；sān shì nǚrén bǐ dírén gèng nán duìfu 。
The law stipulates that men can't get married until they're 22 but they can join the army at 18. This raises three issues: first, that killing people is easier than becoming a husband, second, that it's harder to live your life than fight in wars, and third, that it's harder to run into a woman than an enemy.
