By the way, the director of this film is the main creator of the Netflix drama The Haunting of Hill House, so in addition to the leading role, most of the supporting roles are actors in the enabled drama, including the last Jack who appeared in the drama. I came to play, although there are very few scenes, the special effects are also very good, I feel that there are several clips, like the inner superpower battle, which is quite similar to the scene of the movie Doctor Strange, the villain organization in the film is more like a kind of person who is not afraid of the sun. vampire-like existence

The movie is explained in chronological order. At the beginning, the True Knots appear, telling how they hunted and killed humans with Shining Spirits. The phrase "Hi There" by Rose the Hat, played by Rebecca Ferguson, appeared countless times in the film! What I said to her was so addicting!

Immediately after the end of the movie The Shining, what happened after Dan and his mother Wendy escaped. After that incident, Wendy and his son moved to Florida, where it would never snow. As a child, Dan still couldn't get rid of his feelings for 237. The shadow of the room, and then the dead Hallorann appeared in Dan and handed him a box-like magic weapon to lock this nightmare forever.

Then Abra Stone, a female black girl with powerful Shining ability, appeared, and then grew up Dan in a small town as a night nurse, and a cat star with the ability to help those dying people die peacefully

Then it is about how Rose The Hat recruited a girl with superpowers to join him, and told him that after joining the club, he could live forever. During the process of catching those Shining humans and torture, he was discovered by the black girl Abra's GPS positioning ability. It was also the first telepathic encounter between Rose and Abra

Halfway through the story, it was Abra looking for adult Dan for help. Dan refused at first, and then decided to help Abra under the persuasion of Hallorann. After solving Rose's miscellaneous soldiers, he lured her to the shadowy mountain hotel of childhood and used the undead in the hotel. After getting rid of Rose, Dan, who was redeemed, chose to give up the ability of Shining and turned to ashes in a sea of ​​fire with the hotel.

The ending is that Abra sees Dan's soul again, and Dan wants her to use her abilities to do more good deeds

Rating: The plot feels average, 7 out of 10. If it weren't for the superb acting skills of Ewan McGregor and Rebecca Ferguson, it might feel even lower. The special effects are 8 out of 10. In terms of actors, the black girl Abra, as a newcomer, feels a drag, especially Some of her laughs in the film gave me a gloomy feeling, 8 out of 10, and 7.7 out of 10 in total

    Kubrick's "The Shining" is a master's work, so this "Doctor Sleep" is a work on the Hollywood assembly line. This is the difference between a master's film and an ordinary director's film. The story of this sequel is too cheap, "The Shining" turned out to be some kind of superpower similar to the X-Men mutants, and the gang of undead hungry ghosts are even more embarrassing, their settings are very vampires, they should be They are called "sperm suckers", but they are weak and explosive. A normal bullet can kill them, and a car accident can make them die miserably. With such survivability, being able to live for a thousand years is simply bewildering behavior. Great prize. Fortunately, with Kushen's "The Shining" as the base, watching this sequel becomes watching how the director pays homage to the previous work. These egg-like existences are the greatest joy when watching the movie. When Stephen King's story is in the hands of ordinary directors, he can only provide some horror plots that are not very clever. Ordinary directors have no ability to elevate the theme and express it seriously. After reading the story of this sequel, the most refreshing thing may be Jin. The fire that Lord put in the Lookout Hotel is gone.

    The little boy in the middle is really scared. His screaming performance is very good. There have been few in the United States in recent years. The heroine and child are also my favorite type of protagonists. They are active and ruthless. You play me with pain and anxiety. She also lacks ability and experience. She will not be attacked and feared less than Danny, but she is brave, and I like such a character very much. Rebecca Ferguson delivered a wonderful but slightly boring performance. Her role is more boring than the role of the model worker in Dark Phoenix. She has an empty concept, is inexplicably executed, and her style is very featureless.
