      The Girl on the Train--Awakening of Girl's Self-Awareness

      One is not like a crime film, and two is not like a suspense film, but it is closer to expressing the awakening of women's self-consciousness. Although children are not the main line, but, after all, the three women destroyed themselves for them. It is biased to say that it is for love, and it is too one-sided to say that motherhood is too one-sided. It is just that the girls in the whole play are too delicate and soft, and the scumbags have cultivated them into perfection... Three points...

      I didn't understand it, but I didn't give up sorting out the plot and pretending to sublimate. .

      One of the scumbags in English listening, I watched it in the American Empire Cinema without subtitles, and I didn't understand the key points. I was still a Western face blind patient. The three women couldn't tell the difference, but I still wanted to complain. . .

      >>>>>>>>>>>> On the premise that I can't understand and can't read clearly, I even guess what the plot is. .

      (Write it out for everyone's enjoyment) The heroine's ex-husband is a sex addict and infertility...

      average shot

      Haven't read the original, so I don't have the background knowledge, the only guess comes from the movie's synopsis, the protagonist should be drinking and occasionally breaking.

      In short, in my opinion, the first 20 minutes of the whole play are too scattered and confusing. They neither tell people what happened nor clearly express the relationship between the characters, especially rachel for a while, megan for a while, and that for a while. Who was confused when it was time. In the...

      "Finally, the three of us finally evened out"

      The girl on the train, although under the guise of a suspenseful crime, after watching it, it is not like a crime movie or a suspense movie, but it is closer to expressing the awakening of women's self-consciousness. Although children are not the main line, but after all, the three women destroyed themselves for them. It is biased to say that it is for love, and it is too one-sided to say that motherhood is too one-sided. It is just that the girls in the whole play are too delicate and soft,...

      . .

      A gorgeous suspense movie. The story is like "Gone Lover" after drawing and blending, the narrative and suspense are weakened. The editing and structure are also similar to "The Labyrinth of Heart", which can be easily spliced ​​after being broken, but the narration is not as clear as that of "Heart". Jumping between, a little confusing, messy. Compared with "Heart", the image is luxurious. This comes from the excellent photography of the film, the excellent control of light and light source...

      Never trust the trailer series again... Thanksgiving Depression, never seen such a crowded place yet so quiet. This is also in the cinema, you have to stay at home and watch it for a few minutes to fall asleep or fast-forward! The first half is chaotic, the lines are slow, and the second half is under-rendered, pulling hard. An alcoholic ex-wife, a high-ranking junior, a golden bitch junior, their fragile hearts and pain are washed away... Who knows who...

    • By Pablo 2022-04-24 07:01:04

      The best-selling novel itself is third-rate, and the film adaptation has not improved. The multi-perspective narration of the three women, the narrators switch back and forth, mixed with flashbacks of different timelines, chaotic, focusing on the front line of Emily Blunt, and the other two women seriously lack empathy. The overall sense of suspense and thriller is bland, and all the suspense is based on the drunken episode, which is completely impossible for the audience to substitute. Emily...

      The narrative is really a mess, and the final ending is just a third-rate erotic biography. Belongs to the kind of film where every actor is my favorite, especially Emily Blunt, Rebecca Ferguson, but the quality is completely...

Paula Hawkins was originally an ordinary journalist in London, commuting to work on the subway every day, but the experience of other office workers was accustomed to inspire the author. After the novel was first published in January 2015, it sold more than 3 million copies in five...

    Evaluation action

    The beginning part of the film is slow, but Emily Blunt’s performance is so eye-catching that it can even make people ignore the existence of other characters. The original story is told from the perspectives of three women, Rachel, Anna, and Megan, but the film is based on Rachel’s perspective, causing other characters to be either too selfish or too flattering to make it difficult for the audience. There is enough sense of bringing...

    • Megan: I'm pregnant.

      Tom: [smiles] Congratulations

      Megan: I thought you should know.

      Tom: You thought I should know?

      Megan: [nods] There's a chance it could be yours.

      Tom: Then get an abortion.

      [pause]

      Tom: Or, if it's Scott's, do whatever you want. But, if it's not, then get rid of it.

      [Tom starts walking away]

      Megan: [catches up to him] You can be as involved as you want.

      Tom: You're a shitty nanny. What makes you think you're gonna be a good mother?

      Megan: Why did you bring me there in the first place?

      Tom: Because I thought it would be fun to have you both around.

      [Tom walks up to Megan and tries to grab her hand. She pulls away. He looks at her in shock]

      Megan: I played your game so you could fuck me in between Evie's playdates.

      Tom: I don't need another kid. Certainly not with you.

      Megan: [runs up to Tom] I took care of your kid to be near you!

      [Megan shoves Tom in the back]

      Megan: You fucked Anna 'cause you couldn't fuck Rachel anymore, and you fucked me 'cause you couldn't fuck Anna. Take us all away and you're just a pathetic, impotent man.

      [Tom pushes Megan. She trips over a fallen log and falls backwards, knocking the back of her head into a large boulder. Megan groans several times in pain. Tom looks around to see if anyone saw what just happened]

      Megan: [looks defiantly at Tom] You're not gonna get rid of me. You're gonna pay for this child for the rest of your life.

      [Tom kicks Megan in the head twice, mutters to himself, then looks around again. He picks up Megan by her legs and drags her and then positions her in the mud underneath a tilted pile of brush, logs and leaves. Megan regains consciousness with a horribly bloody face and begins screaming. Tom picks up a sizable rock and slams it into Megan's head repeatedly. Her screams end]

    • [first lines]

      Rachel: [narrating] My husband used to tell me I have an overactive imagination. I can't help it. I mean, haven't you ever been on a train and wondered about the lives of the people who live near the tracks? The lives you've never lived. These are things I want to know. Twice a day, I sit in the third car from the front where I have the perfect view into my favorite house: Number 15, Beckette Road.

      [Rachel sees a woman on her back porch in the morning]

      Rachel: I don't know when exactly, I suppose I started noticing her about a year ago, and gradually as the months went past, she became important to me. I'm not the girl I used to be. I think people can see it on my face.

      [Rachel sees the same woman at night with her husband]

      Rachel: She's what I lost. She's everything I want to be.

      Rachel: [now sitting in the train station, drawing] I imagine she's a painter. She's creative. He's a doctor or an architect. He has a good laugh. She can't cook. I wonder what they say to each other before they go to sleep.

      Rachel: [now on the evening train again] Today her name is Jess. Tomorrow it could be Lisa or Amber - it all depends on the day. It depends on my mood. The truth is, I don't know her name.

    • Megan: A teacher once told me I was a mistress of self-reinvention. I wasn't really sure what it meant at the time. But since moving here, I've come to understand it. Ardsley-on-Hudson is boring and routine. It's a fucking baby factory. I wanna start my life over again. So far, I've been a rebellious teenager, lover, waitress, gallery director, nanny, and a whore. Ands not necessarily in that order. I can't just be a wife anymore. That's why I stay awake at night, staring at the ceiling. In fact, the only time I feel like myself is when I'm running.

      Dr. Kamal Abdic: You always felt that way?

      Megan: Maybe since I was about 17. With Mac.

      Dr. Kamal Abdic: Hmm. Mac? Who's Mac?

      Megan: My brothers best friend. My brother who died.
