At this time, she has long lost the meanness and hatred of the magic school. She is now maud, the housekeeper of the boarding school, and the school is haunted frequently. She has a nervous expression most of the time in the film. Mallory, the limping history teacher, seems to be a little nervous about the ghost shadows that have appeared on the photo negatives for several years.
The soul hunter Florence (played by Rebecca Hall) is the absolute protagonist. The opening scene is domineering and leaky. What is valuable is that she continues this momentum throughout the film, even if the collapse is screaming, it also contains the British style. Reserved, British movies have always had a noble style. Think about Collin Firth in "Single Man". Even if a gay man who has been in love for many years is killed in a car accident, he still restrains his sadness. Attempt to commit suicide by aiming at the temple. In short, their behavior is as relaxed as the British accent.
After the film ended, most of the doubts were solved. Florence is not only a bystander of the mystery, but also the core of the whole story. She lost her memory because of the murder of her childhood, and a group of people took pains to "investigate the ghost" as the excuse to get her back. Going to the first place, after a lot of tossing, the ghost appeared in its original form, and she completely woke up from the nightmare of the past.
The protagonist of "Awakening" once said that horror movies with children are often full of scary elements, but apparently "Awakening" does not incorporate a large amount of horror elements into children. People are ghosts, but as another key figure, Xiao Zhengtai Tom still brought great performances. His sculpted face is just to distinguish him from other students, and his agile temperament is also buried "He is not The foreshadowing of "belonging to this environment", in the latter part of the story, he kept tears and told Florence that he missed her, trance really carrying so much sorrow of ghosts.
After knowing the ending, looking back at the movie again, Tom's whereabouts are indeed very close to those around him, and Maud's neuroticism is also explained-they are just looking forward to the girl waking up too much.
Because of the plot and attributes of the film, it is easy to think of "Castle Fright". The heroines of both have three stubborn views of not believing in ghosts and ghosts. Finally, they have to change because of the facts. This is also the climax of the film, the Spanish film. Choosing to die together, the British film chose to live to death. In terms of emotional control, the desperate mothers in Spain are a little bit better. The mother-child relationship is deeply mixed with regret, and the contradiction between reality and self-cognition. At the end, they took a lot of sleeping pills and took a desperate effort. "The real world" and the intention of wanton sex is more than a little stronger.
But in general, Rebecca Hall's performance is also remarkable, her temperament is in line with the role. Capable, highly educated, and intellectual, whether it's curling up on the sofa and smoking a cigarette or running with blood on his face, he has a very good sense of measure, so that he won't become a silly girl of a third-rate R-rated film.
The part of the horror film is actually that little bit. It is difficult for "Awakening" to dig out the most reluctant memory of the protagonist from the dark side of her heart. When she woke up from the nightmare, the world in her eyes had changed. This experience finally Let the horror become less superficial.
