      Stoker--Complex Emotions And Desires

      1. The nature of murderCalm and ruthless are passed on. The father has always used his way to love and free India. This is for her protection.

      2. Charlie has been an abandoned, lonely, incomprehensible bad guy from the very beginning. The loneliness and disapproval made him madly infatuated with this India who smelled the...

      A suspenseful movie that knows the end from the beginning~

      This movie is not interesting, and you can guess that his uncle is not in Europe, but has been locked up in a mental hospital or prison. And it has long been guessed that there are corpses in the refrigerator, the heroine's male classmate will be killed, and the heroine's father will be killed by the heroine's uncle.

      But I always thought that the heroine was his uncle who had an affair with his mother. The shoe box in India's uncle's bag is exactly the same as the shoe...

      growing up

      From "Stoke", I saw the growth of a young girl, and her nature was released on this road. The family genes in her heart have been latent, and at the same time, her uncle's induction has made her grow up. Park Chan-wook's film continues his usual style, showing us her changes both physically and psychologically. Her upbringing was reflected psychologically. At Dad's funeral, India's flat shoes contrasted sharply with Mom's high heels. One was a girl and the other was a mature woman. So when...

      1.5 was extremely tormented and almost collapsed. Surely this is a tribute to Hitchcock, there is no suspense for half a second. In fact, although the entire story text is mediocre and old-fashioned, if you honestly and respectfully copy the Greek-style suspense, at least it can be considered a licensed product that can be handed...

      Green onion seedlings thrive. Of course I love beautiful movies, but I won't buy them with such craftsmanship. The rich color is essentially a black dress, and you can't help but want to laugh. Mia is always playing a black-faced girl, isn't she tired? Nicole's role as a stupid woman is really apt and...

    The film unfolds the discussion and appeals of ethics, desire, and fear among people in a small space, showing more value worth exploring than ordinary commercial movies (Sina Entertainment Review)  .
