I watched this movie because I watched "Hellboy" when I was in high school. I felt that the filming was very exciting and ghostly. At that time, I was more fascinated. This movie is the same director as it. At that time, I saw the director still He directed "Pan's Labyrinth", "Pacific Rim" and "Blade Warrior II", and was also the screenwriter of "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies". Come and have a look.
Compared with "Hellboy" and "Pacific Rim", "Scarlet Mountain" gives me a thinner background, because there are fewer characters involved, even if you count the main supporting characters, so the story mainly falls on the male. Lord, the male lead, the sister and the female lead, but this is a relatively simple story without any twists and turns. Such a thing should have been unthinkable and unseen in those days, but it is commonplace today, so It didn't have much impact, but the story was told in a complete and smooth manner. Unfortunately, it didn't say why the clay mining machine was built, just to make money? It feels like this prop that runs through the story won't have just so much to tell.
I don’t know why I can understand the relationship between the siblings. After all, such a big house looks like a castle from the outside. Inside it is only two siblings who have lived together for many years. Maybe there were parents and servants in the past, but The relationship between the parents is not good, and the servants are not too close to the little masters, so it is not surprising how entangled the fetters between the two people are. I have to feel that the environment can really shape and change a person's character. , I think with the character of my sister, this house and my parents can't stay out of it. And the two brothers and sisters have always had to do inhumane things to obtain money to maintain such a manor. This is no longer a gift from the ancestors, but a burden.
The snow scene of the manor and the red clay in the shots given by the film do have a strange beauty, including the manor building itself, which is Gothic and gorgeous, but the interior is dilapidated, black butterflies, and sticky red are everywhere, which makes people feel Feel uncomfortable, awkward. That's why people are fascinated by light and warmth.
