a horror/suspense/drama film co-produced by Spain and Mexico in 2007.
Just a look at the name can remind people of traditional horror films,
loneliness, castles, thrillers, and emotions.
However, this time I have to talk about translation. It
must be clarified that the
Spanish title does not list horror elements,
only It's the "orphanage," the center of the story.
Whether dealing with people or things,
Chinese people (including me) are used to giving one that is
either condensed (by ZB),
or imaginative (by YY),
or meaningful (by CD),
or unclear and unclear,
but it seems A name with a unique connotation,
but even if the name is a code name,
I am afraid everyone hopes that this code name can be well-known,
it is best to remember it + can't stop it,
even if there is such a big exaggeration,
even actively digressing and passively distorting it is not harmful . ,
Besides, the headline party has become the largest party in online texts. Whether
you poke or not, the
hot-eyed headlines are lying there piece by piece,
reaching for your fingers.
Maybe one day there will be a special topic
called "Those and Movies". Movies whose names are 108,000 miles apart",
scold them well before I officially go astray, and I
won't be able to become a member in the future,
you can look forward to it.
Gossiping is too far.
Ever since I heard Gao Xiaosong's talk,
Only then did I realize that some of the details that are often unrelated to the theme are the boring tricks of
the writers and screenwriters.
This is completely different from what we were taught to write when we were young.
Suddenly, the word came to an end
, and the word "Xianbi" was invented well
. If you stray from the topic and gossip again,
you will cover it with idle words!
The beginning is too playful,
now I am entering the theme, I want to reverse the style,
please sit back and support the pasengers, and
finally return to the film itself,
this time I will not talk about my weak history,
because the story can be placed in any era Isn't the work of the obscure age , even in any country,
more like yesterday?
The story revolves around an orphanage
. Laura, who was adopted from the orphanage,
returned to the orphanage many years later.
With her husband Carlos and adopted son Simon, she
plans to rebuild the orphanage and
take care of some poor health . A visit from a good child,
Simon's mysterious friend and a strange woman,
uncovers a series of strange things that
affect Laura's nerves until
Simon suddenly disappears one day.
It can be said that the first half
can be characterized as a horror movie with a familiar horror routine,
but the horror index is greatly reduced,
but like Bruce Willis' "The Sixth Sense",
if you can survive the slightly dull beginning of the previous paragraph,
you can watch it. To the back of the hole.
Laura kept looking for her son in pain, and
finally when she was about to give up,
In the way of going back to the past,
the forgotten things in the memory are awakened.
Losing is painful, but what is even more painful is that the important things and important people in life are often easily replaced by trivial daily status without
knowing it at the time of loss , and gradually drift away. But Laura couldn't bear the cost and pain. She swallowed the pills, not for relief, but because she was unwilling to let go, she insisted on returning to Simon to take care of him. Peter Pan was doomed. Remember Peter Pan? This fairy tale is well-known in the West and was once popular in China. Peter Pan, Peter Pan, encourages Wendy and her two younger brothers to leave home and come to Neverland where Peter Pan lives, together with the children who were lost by adults on the island. , Wonderful life fought bravely, but in the end Wendy chose to return to her own home with her younger brother, continued to grow up, and separated from Peter Pan, who did not want to grow up. Simon is the child who will never grow up, and Laura is like the old Wendy, but she chooses to return to the pure world of children, take care of them, and continue to be happy in the orphanage where there is no harm, cold eyes and misunderstandings and games. At the beginning of the film, a few children play the game of "one, two, three, look back" under the big tree in the orphanage, which is also an important plot in the back. child silhouette,
The picture is mysterious and innocent, which
is probably the feeling that the whole movie is trying to convey.
Many scenes that you think are gloomy and terrifying,
when the film reaches the end, are played back with another mentality,
which are actually very warm, pure and beautiful.
Although there are many horror elements in the film,
scary headgear, deformed child,
dark cave by the sea, mysterious woman, bizarre car accident
and two bloody scenes,
one is Laura's finger pinched by the door, the
other is a car accident I knocked off the old woman's chin.
Personally, I don't think these two scenes are necessary.
Maybe the screenwriter and director should consider the overall style of
horror stories based on the principle of telling horror stories, and
affect the audience's fragile nerves.
On the whole, this film is not about revenge,
but about the parent-child relationship between mother and child. It is about a mother 's anxiety and fear in the
face of an imperfect child, and even excessive protection and restraint. The terrifying impressions of children are all illusions, but the speculation and misinterpretation of the child's simple world according to the logic and standards of adults may not be malicious, but it will bring about evil consequences. Love and knowing love turned out to be two completely different things. I remember hearing a teacher say when I was a child that the greatest tragedy in the world is not the confrontation between good and evil, but the confrontation between good and good. When a mother is full of love, she cannot reach her child's heart. The innocence and beauty of children die little by little in the name of love,
The whole world is a loser.
The child is waiting for an apology from the parent,
and the parent is waiting for a thank you from the child.
Hopefully, the information of truth, goodness, beauty and falsehood and ugliness will explode at the same time,
all kinds of material desires and zen hearts and chicken soup poisonous tongues will flow together,
and the continuous collapse and continuous refresh of the three views
will bring about crisis, anxiety, blindness and imbalance,
as well as equating self-abandonment . Due to the illusion of self-sacrifice,
and the spirit and belief that have nowhere to be placed,
don't replace
"wear long johns in cold weather",
"I am for your own good",
"other people's children",
become the shackles of a new generation,
put the Flying Peter Pan is locked in a fairy tale world,
hoping to never grow up.
