Let's talk about the Chinese title of the film "The Devil in the Elevator" first, and the classification is under suspense and thriller, so that viewers who like to watch suspense films should feel that the devil should refer to the character's heart. It is a crime suspense homicide film. But the answer is wrong, this demon is a real demon. So that the audience feels a little scary after watching it. In fact, the overall burden of the film is very strong. If you watch it a second time, you will understand a lot, especially the director combines the jumping and coherence of the picture with each other. It's a very good film.
First, let’s talk about the extremely superb suspense and thriller elements in the design of the film:
1. There seems to be no connection between the suicide case outside the building and the elevator failure in the
building 2. The gloomy weather outside the building and the flickering picture in the elevator
3. The heroine who was "bitten" in the
elevator 4, the "devil" image appeared on the elevator monitoring screen
5, the elevator could not communicate and interact with the outside world, only the flickering surveillance screen
6, the black-haired security guard revealed that among the five One of them is the incarnation of the "devil", and he emphasizes that nothing is a coincidence
. 7 When the sheriff was investigating the identities of these five people, he saw these five people with different postures through the surveillance video in the lobby and confirmed the fact. All five people are hiding their hearts
8. After a series of investigations and fire rescues by the sheriff, they find that the "opponent" is not something that humans can control.
9. The bizarre death of the four people in the elevator does not seem to be so "killing" when the lights in the elevator are flickering
.
The film's seemingly imperfect storyline:
1. In the middle of the film, the sheriff is painstakingly tracking down the clues of the case, and even outlines the basic structure of the five people in the elevator: "The fraud expert who sells the insoles, the old woman is a thief, the claustrophobic little woman is a master liar, the security guard is a thug, hiding The former navy soldier who got the tool kit. When the film came to this point, I believe that all audiences would feel that this was a case of cannibalism caused by mutual distrust and suspicion. But I didn’t expect that after the fourth person died, The deceased old lady stood up again in the elevator, I believe this scene really scared many viewers, at least I shuddered, it was really shocking
. He escaped after his childhood, and this is the sheriff's own family. It is guessed that the director arranged this plot to echo the previous "everything is not a coincidence", but from the perspective of the overall narrative of the film, it is a bit high-sounding.
3 , after the demon wakes up, it doesn't kill the navy soldier it really wants to kill, which makes the whole story feel very strange at first glance.
4. The film shows that there are 7 dead people, but only three corpses are dragged out in the end.
Below I do some personal analysis, the devil did not kill the sergeant because of the five "bad guys" in the elevator, he is the only one who is constantly repenting, and his intention is good.
The first dead liar caused the deception The suicide case at the beginning; the
security guard is a thug who has had many personal conflicts on his back, and in the confrontation with the navy soldier in the elevator, it can be seen that he has life;
the last woman is a master liar, she has deceived a lot for her own interests. The rich man, and in the confrontation with the navy soldiers, tricked the other party to put down the glass, and he also hid hidden weapons.
So the devil killed these three people, and the security guard who fell into the elevator and the security guard who was electrocuted did not say that he was really dead at the end. , so it seems that the film is a lot more complete. In fact, the devil has been monitoring the other four people in the elevator. Simply put, it means that evil will be rewarded.
The director is using this euphemistic story to tell a "sin" and "" A terrific story of redemption".
