Remember a few shots that feel beautiful

I remember that the last time I watched a ghost movie was "Midnight Sorrowful Bell"-right! A long time ago! Because after reading it, I really like to scare myself. I turned around and thought that there was someone. When something fell on the ground, I thought there was a ghost. When the light was off, I was scared to hold my head. Recently, the film "The Woman in Black" was also forced to watch. I kept reminding myself that "This is Harry Potter, this is black magic" and so on. I didn't take it seriously, so it doesn't count. This time I went to watch "The Awakening". I didn’t know it, and I chose this like a dice with my friends (I thought the name was "Source Code" or something...)

and I regretted it when the curtain opened. . I don't want to watch the ghost movie TT, but at first the setting atmosphere or something made me think of Downton. I think this is another literary ghost movie? Isn't it as simple as scary? Once you accept the setting, let's watch it with bitterness, but the more you watch it, the more you like it!

The plot will not be discussed, and it will turn one layer after another. All the characters have a dark past, and the plot slowly advances before the core comes out. It is worth mentioning that the series of swings that Florence had just arrived at school at the beginning (Ma Xiaoling was...) and the ghost-catching tricks when he first hit a ghost, both seemed calm and witty in dealing with ghosts. Binghuo Xiaozheng is so cute, she screams as a nymphomaniac and I love you too~~~! I feel a bit off-topic when I get to this point... it's not long-winded.

1. Robert enters Florence's study room and sees neatly laid out 5*6 notes on the ground, as well as a chalk line space for each stack of notes. Looking down, the sense of orderliness undoubtedly shows F's firm belief in "evident" and his personal collection. It not only gave Robert's perception of F, but also gave the audience's perception of F.

2. Moreover, on the way to the school, a long string of thick white smoke spreads, and a large area of ​​white fog in the forest contrasts with each other in the back. The old-fashioned but not at all dilapidated black carriage pierced and moved forward quietly against the background of green trees. I couldn't help but whispered "wow" out when I saw this scene. What Hogwarts woke up in his head.

3. When she adjusts a certain camera lens, the human face and the face in the glass, one big and one small appear on the screen interestingly.

4. Before F went to the woods for the first time and met Judd who was talking about God, a tree branch net with a little vault effect spread out near her, which looked very deep.

5. A group of small pot friends crowded out the golden retriever small pot friends, the golden retriever small pot friends looked very distressed, F looked back at him, he was covering his small face with a pair of fat little hands. I want to say that you don't show any acting skills at all, just so cute and depressed!

6. Several times the camera puts F's face on the screen infinitely, and the freckles and eyelashes can be seen clearly. Speechless, speechless, for a long time, nothing but a face, entrusting the atmosphere to a quiet atmosphere.

7. F kneeled down and looked at the model cottage twice. The small house, F's big eyes, the small person in the small house, the metaphor of the villain and the real person, the real person is peeking at his end in the small house, and the kid is watching the real person's entry and struggle, which is really wonderful.

8. In the bathtub, F stretched his hand down (remembering Peng Haoxiang said, "When a girl is the sexiest, she said to her boyfriend, "I will give you something to eat"--enter it randomly), the cheese-like water covers her specific movements. The grayness of all this is like the turbid ambiguity that implies that she is with R.

9. F and R took the photo together, R helped F lift the glass cover, then cover the glass cover, lift the glass cover, and then cover the glass cover... The light in the cover will be exposed for a while, and will be covered for a while , The light reflected on the hero's face is warm yellow and bright white.

10. At the climax, F opened one door after another, still in exactly the same memory scene, which shows that she can't escape the nightmare of childhood. It is not that ghost hunting can save everything, but facing the ghost in her heart can be reborn.

11. In the last scene, F and R are on a small soil slope. There are stone benches and willow trees not far away. The wind gently brushes the twigs, and shoots R from behind the tree, looking at the living from the perspective of a deceased person. People (yes, I belong to the "F is not dead" group), layer by layer, branches, stone benches, lawns, parents and children walking on the soil slope, the protagonist, the school gate behind, and the sky. I think this scene is very hierarchical.

    The shadow of childhood is indeed a lingering complex of Westerners. In order to achieve the core of this story, everything is just cosmetic, including the spooky driver uncle, the war hero, the childhood nanny, and the beautiful lady.
