The sweetest and saddest horror movie

Clemens 2022-04-21 09:01:53

This movie upended my concept of horror movies. This is the first time I know that horror movies can be so beautiful.

The first is the beauty of the lens. Every picture has been carefully studied, and the lens language with the ingenious combination of light and shadow is amazingly beautiful.

Second is the beauty of the story, which is the only film that I can't forget for many years. The suspense and doubts from the beginning to the end were all solved at the end. Although the ending is not perfect, it is beautiful with regret. Perhaps the reason why it is unforgettable for me is because it is too regretful, but also too tender.

Maternal love is the most selfless and powerful love in the world. Go home often to see your parents, and cherish the time you spend together.

The Orphanage quotes

  • Simón: [while reading Peter Pan] Wendy grows old and dies?

    Laura: Wendy grows old, but Peter Pan takes her daughter to Neverland every year.

    Simón: Why doesn't Wendy go, too? If Peter Pan came to get me, would you come, too?

    Laura: No. I'm too old to go to Neverland, darling.

    Simón: How old are you?

    Laura: Thirty-seven.

    Simón: At what age will you die?

    Laura: What sort of question is that? Not for a long time, until you're very old.

    Simón: I won't grow old. I'm not going to grow up.

    Laura: Will you be like Peter Pan?

    Simón: Like my new friends.

    Laura: There's more than one?

    Simón: Six.

    Laura: They won't grow up either?

    Simón: They can't.

  • Aurora: Seeing is not believing. It's the other way around. Believe, and you will see.
