definitely a problem with positioning. Due to the selection of materials, this film will inevitably be labeled as "suspense, thriller, crime" and so on. From what we know about Joe White, what he is good at is literature and art, as well as literature and art, so the pictures we can see It's beautiful, including snow, forest, elk, and the blue eyes of the girl Hannah, but under the influence of the above-mentioned labels, I always feel that the visual tension of the film is not enough. Especially in the beginning of the film to create an atmosphere of the beast-like nature of the girl "Hannah" for the audience, the later process of the film is a little less vigorous in the portrayal of Hannah's skills of murder and revenge. I think of a work here. Zhang Yueran's early work "Red Shoes" also tells the story of a killer and a girl. There is a girl who kills an animal (like a cat) in the snow and then takes out the bones to take pictures. It's just a picture. The description of the text completely caught my eye, vividly expressing the girl's revenge and inner contradictions and distortions. Of course, I really shouldn't make such a comparison. Different works express different themes. If I have to explain it, it can only be said that the girl in "Hannah" has no soul of revenge, but a machine of revenge, and the dilemma is precisely that if it is the former, the film fails to show the thickness of hatred at all; if it is the latter , and failed to render the action of revenge.
What is even more tragic is that the film itself still has many flaws in the plot. For example, the relationship between Hannah and "Dad" failed to make enough foreshadowing, so that the part involving the relationship between the two in the second half was inevitably abrupt. The role of "Dad" in the film is not well-balanced. The indifference and mystery at the beginning of the film really tickles the appetite, but it also loses its original position due to the absence of most of the time thereafter. Characters are simply dispensable. The screenwriter seems to want to show Hannah's true "girly" side through the relationship between Hannah and the family of four in the film, but the most headache for me in the whole film is precisely this: what is Hannah doing here? ? Does she know what she's doing? Maybe because I really don't know if she knows what she's doing, I can't understand the feeling like "getting lost" after this...
What should I do?
Movie posters are terrifying, but the movie itself is maddening. Forgive my gorgeous disappointment.
