psychological thriller
Hollywood has many thrillers that do not tell horrible plots or show bloody shots, but they can often become "horrible textbooks". Such films will always be on a psychological level. Create an atmosphere of fear, suspense, and disturbing. The representative works "The Silent Lamb" and "The Shining" are naturally models of this kind of psychological thriller. Under the "revelation" of this kind of film, Jim Sheridan decided to use the style of the image and a symbolic lens to make this film into a "psychological thriller".
Regarding the style of the film and the type of thriller, director Jim Sheridan said: "This is a psychological thriller, and I will also use a variety of methods in the film, including narrative and visual special effects to create one. A special, thriller feeling. There is a murder and a mental patient in the film. But in the story of the film, you will not know what the murder is all about, nor will you know who the murderer is and who It is a mental patient. And the film will keep this suspense until the end. It can be said that this is a typical psychological thriller, because there is not much direct display of death in the film, and only the unknown world and The exploration of unknown events. It can be said that the protagonists slowly walk into the whirlpool of horror events, which is the most horrible plot. The audience can look forward to the development of the story of the film, and an unexpected turning point is set in the script. It will become the most beautiful plot in the whole movie. Generally speaking, the story of this film is more complicated, with twists, twists and details in the script. Especially the setting of some characters makes people feel David. David Loucka's script has some incredible content. Of course, my personal favorite is the mysterious atmosphere in the script. There is a little plot about murder, a little ghost, but these It's just the externalization of a certain horror mood, and it is far from the main source of horror in the film."
The film's directing approach of relying on narrative to promote the development of the plot and create a range of horror has won the approval of the actors. Rachel Weisz said: "Jim Sheridan is the most unique person I have ever met. His method of telling stories The way of creating an atmosphere and creating an atmosphere is surprising. In other words, he has been shaping the psychological horror by telling the story and promoting the development of the plot, rather than by screaming, death and blood. This is something I have never seen before. The method of filming the film, and this film is also contaminated with the extremely heavy characteristics of Jim Sheridan." And Naomi Watts commented on Jim Sheridan. She said: "Jim is the kind of director who constantly uses story elements to promote the development of the film. He doesn't just show horror. In addition to horror, he can also tell the character of the character extremely richly. I have to say that this is him. It can be said that he is one of the directors who can tell the most stories.” The
British cast
British and Commonwealth actors have shined in Hollywood in recent years. This film can almost be regarded as a film of the British team.Except for the director Jim Sheridan from Dublin, Ireland, the three leading actors in the film: Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz And Naomi Watts are also from the United Kingdom or Commonwealth countries (Australia). They are different from the acting skills and styles of Hollywood actors, adding indelible taste and characteristics to the film.
Regarding these actors under him, Jim Sheridan said: "They are all actors with very unique personality and characteristics. Unlike many young Hollywood actors, their characteristics tend to become part of the role, rather than superior to the role. Daniel Craig is very dedicated. He never takes a break. From coming to the crew to finishing the film, he is busy and working. He has been studying scripts and characters. His professionalism and obsession with characters surprised me. In Before working with him, I always thought of him as a simple action movie actor. But I didn’t expect that he was also very good at portraying this kind of schizophrenic character. Naomi Watts is the most dramatic in the movie. A heavy actress, she doesn’t have many lines, but she has the most activity and knows the things in her heart. So this requires her to have strong acting skills in order to portray the characters well. I think she did a good job, he used his own The expression and eyes created an unforgettable image. And her performance has become the focus of the film, and she can even be regarded as a turning point and foreshadowing in the film. "Rachel Weisz played the role of Krishnamurti in the film. Regard’s wife, a girl from Manhattan, for her role, Rachel Weisz said: “This is a typical city girl. It can be said to be out of place in the life of the country, but this is the one in her dream. The house allowed her to stay. It should be said that she is the most ignorant and most outsider character in the film. It seems that everyone knows what is going on, but she is the only one kept in the dark. She is very innocent. I was also very helpless. During the performance, Jim made me show a sense of helplessness and innocence. Craig and Watts are both excellent actors, and their performance is very wonderful, especially Craig’s dedication and innocence. Concentration left a deep impression on me."
Naomi Watts, who has appeared in several thriller horror films and is known as the "Queen of Screaming", played a mysterious female neighbor in the film. Naomi Watts said: "I read the script and thought it was a good thriller story, and the thing that attracted me the most was this female neighbor named Anna. This is a very mysterious woman with a lot of background. The audience did not know who she was for a long time, but she seemed to know all the details about the house and the murder case. I think this is a character with Hitchcock colors, which is very strange. but very appealing to me. relations and the role of Daniel Craig and Rachel Vichy is very subtle, so that by the end of the film, for all to see the truth, that they will suddenly realize. "
