Being: the source of fear

A low-cost psychological thriller, Michael Shannon's superb performance propped up all the film. Male pig’s feet is a family head who lives in distress, hard work, and needs to pay for the high medical expenses of his daughter. Under the pressure of life, male pig’s feet suffers from schizophrenia. He has nightmares every night, dreaming of himself and his family. Received incredible threats, and foresee the imminent disaster of the world. All the signs of what happened made this middle-aged man decide to repair his storm shelter.

Don’t expect to see spectacular disaster scenes in the film. The film only uses special effects for the beginning and end of the film. The entire film is about the source of fear of a schizophrenic patient. The film is two hours long. A lot of long shots were used, and all the horror points came from Michael Shannon’s wonderful performance. In portraying a nervous and seemingly cowardly head of the family, Michael Shannon alone supported the entire movie. point.

When everyone thinks he is crazy, but only he is determined that disaster will happen, and he is avoiding everything that may happen in his nightmare, even if he shuts his pet dog out of the door and transfers his good workmates away A group, but when he saw his wife as a threat in the nightmare, the man chose to face it silently, because everything he did was for the family. Faced with all kinds of doubtful eyes, he could only endure silently, without saying a word, and not going to the doctor in order to save money. When a real storm came and faded quickly, he touched the weakest part of his heart, and it turned out that he was really crazy. So I took the courage to face all this and went to see a psychiatrist. But...

the ending of the film is undoubtedly the biggest surprise. The two-hour film was sublimated in the last 5 minutes, and disaster struck. However, the wife was surprised not by this, but because she did not trust her husband at the beginning, and the two looked at each other. Nodding frustrated, seems to be the best and least explanatory ending for the whole film.

    An abnormal daughter tests her father's nerves the most. The suspenseful part is a bit lacking in atmosphere, the psychological activities are vividly depicted, and the anxiety is felt from beginning to end. Open ending.

    The foreshadowing is a little long but detailed enough. At the end, I think deeply. Is it a real doomsday storm or a heart? But I do realize the importance of the trust of my family.
