      drift away

      After watching the whole film, my mood is a bit complicated, and I have been thinking in my heart, where is the development of horror films going?

      The director's horror film technique inherits the fine tradition of Japanese horror film production. Twelve minutes into the opening session, I had turned the headphones very loudly so that I could hear every effect sound and the faint soundtrack. A high-level and excellent horror film should give the audience this kind of trust, not abuse...

      It makes people feel more terrible than death, and the Japanese horror film "The Loop" is full of apocalyptic despair

      People feel more terrible than death, the Japanese horror film "The Loop" full of apocalyptic despair - Teller Report

      Hello everyone!

      Today Carp recommends an unpopular Japanese horror film "The Loop", directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa and released in 2001. It was remade by Hollywood in 2006, and two sequels were released. For some...

      "The Circuit" - The original Japanese version of "The Devil's Circuit"

      As the original Japanese version of the horror film "The Devil's Loop", Kurosawa Kiyoshi's version of "The Loop" is far less famous than the American remake series. Although I haven't seen the American version, I can understand why it is not popular with the public after watching this. : The obscure and overly long plot definitely shields most of the audience's flaws. Although the five-star...

      If you get close, you will die, if you are too far, you will get close

      The black image on the wall The vaporized afterimage of the nuclear explosion site seems to be the critical surface between this side and the other side, or the traces/embers of the proof that once existed, pointing to a kind of emptiness, a kind of absence but trying to be remembered of unwillingness. It is reminiscent of the alienation and "loneliness of death" between people in contemporary Japanese society. I remembered the faceless man in Spirited Away, who was also a...

      The end of the world is here again

      I remember that I was quite disgusted with the animation "Evangelion", which is said to reflect the postmodern survival values. The reason is that as long as the children in it are not very happy and have some psychological problems, they will make trouble all over the world. On the level of doomsday, he has to make a fuss as if he is very philosophical. Later, after paying attention to some Japanese literature and movies, I found that a mainstream trend culture in Japan is really attached to...

      Yakusho Koji is like a survivor who escaped from "X Seiji". At the beginning of the new century, Kurosawa's thinking on "existence" extended to the network's influence on the already fragile interpersonal relationship after the confrontation between rationality and sensibility. Erosion, when our soul is replaced by the circuit of the wire, death becomes the physical but eternal existence of the spirit, death is not an illusion, it is a reality, but the pain after life is materialized is...

      It's the type of horror movie I'm afraid of. Selective blindness + selective deafness = a whole-and-done movie viewing experience. I really want to watch it again, but I'm afraid to watch it...

      Permanent death, that is, endless loneliness. A ghost is a person who exists forever alone. The concept is good, the script is okay, the actors' performances are holding back - maybe the director's problem. Scalp tingling twice - so worth...

      I feel that the black director is really distracted in making a horror movie, but it is really boring, and the look and feel is also very uncomfortable. Like the alien played by Long Ping, it is uncomfortable to...

    Movie plot

    At first glance, this is a story about a ghost destroying human beings in order to occupy the world, but director Kurosawa did not fall into the stereotype. The real enemy that people face in this film is not an alien ghost, but a sense of loneliness that cannot be escaped and overcome. The rhythm of the development of the film's story is controlled just right. The gradually expanding situation is accompanied by the looming crisis,...

      Ryosuke Kawashima: What?
