      Don't trust others even when you are helpless!

      This film deeply shocked me~ A helpless and desperate girl hovered on the edge and then a group of seemingly kind people accepted and cared for her, but a more terrible abyss was waiting for her! . . . . . . . . I hate the finale, no matter if the person who appears at the end is Martha's fantasy or the real one, it always reminds us that the nightmares you once had will always be with you,,,, this strong suggestion is so fucking scary! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !...

      i don't know

      Very disgusting stuff.
          First of all, the beginning of this disgusting story is very mentally retarded. When Martha entered the organization, she was at the age of college. Therefore, it is very difficult for me to understand and accept how a person of that age can believe in the "belief" of
          that organization. The belief of that organization is as follows: [The order is arranged according to the description of the film]
          1. We have to share ourselves. It is to have sex...

      Unsettled, unsettled

      A person's escape. Loneliness. Helplessness.
      No one can understand, no one wants to listen.
      I don't want to talk anymore. Don't experience
      forgetting or depression, just let me sleep. When I
      wake up, the sky will light up and I will Nothing has happened, just a blank sheet of paper.

      How far can we go? Far from what? Yesterday
      . It is not the past history of objective facts, but the subjective feeling before today . I lost my memory, my habit is still... I...

      some doubts

      #double-facedMartha#
       Before watching it, I thought that this movie should be about a very powerful "Martha", it seems that one-sidedly deceived me. The so-called double-sided narrative is actually a dual-line narrative, interspersed with Masha's life in the cult in the past two years and the life of escaping the cult and being placed at home by her sister. Martha sometimes can't tell the difference between the past and the present, and we, as the audience, are also confused by the...

      I hope this movie is like the plot given by Douban

      Because it looks a little bit more developed.

      After thinking about it, I still clicked "There are key plots to reveal". Although, whether there is such a thing as a plot in this movie is a question.

      I was still looking forward to going to the cinema. I refrained from reading the plot synopsis and related film reviews before, but I just heard others describe it as a psychological thriller and the heroine escaped from a cult, so I imagined a tense plot - there should be some...

      The front is very good, the back is completely non-sense, this kind of Stockholm sequela, how can you do it without waking up with a big mouth. Elizabeth Olsen is simply the reincarnation of Maggie Gyllenhaal, a complete Muse...

      Worth encouraging, as a junior creator. The plot and rhythm are very bad, and the simple themes cannot be touched back and forth. What's great is the scene setup ÷ photography + dialogue. The tidbits include a short film made by the director before that, completed with only $500 in the bank card, "The Last Time I See Martha", which is tired and...

      This film tells people the importance of communication, the tragic story of an underage girl who accidentally slipped and escaped, but lost her life due to lack of communication with her...

      The filming is not bad at all, the heroine has a great body and beautiful facial features, emphasizing that she looks like Maggie Gallenhall. It's a movie with dark green ghosts, and it's uncomfortable to watch. I'm so old, I don't want to watch movies like this...

      Brainwashing failure case...

    Movie plot

    Martha (Elizabeth Olsen) is a very beautiful young woman, but because of the charm of a cult, she has stepped into the abyss of evil.

She is eager to get help from her sister Lucy ( played by Sarah Paulson) and her brother-in-law Ted ( played by Hugh Dancy), who have always been very estranged , but...

    Evaluation action

    In "Martha Marcy May Marlene", the director uses a very conventional narrative method, set up suspense at the beginning, and then continue to enrich the character of Martha through the stories in the memory, and explain the cause of her character a little bit. When the film is over, the truth will come to light. Since Martha never confessed to her sister what happened before, the audience can only piece together the story with...
