First of all, I don't talk about those works before the gyro director, even if I have seen it, I will forget it.
This movie is defined as a gothic horror movie.
What is Gothic? Gothic castle, gorgeous, gloomy, bloodthirsty.
What horror? It's the heart-wrenching effect of fear.
A lonely noble with a good nature, still handsome and elegant, but because of poverty and the love and strength of his sister, he has become cowardly and despicable. Until I met the heroine, a novelist who was not in the world, but wanted to use the story of ghosts to show human nature. The male protagonist, who has lived under the shadow of his sister for a long time, suddenly saw the story of the female protagonist, his heart was touched, and the connection of ghosts brought them together. Rather than saying that the male protagonist fell in love with the female protagonist after spending a time with the female protagonist in the hotel, it is better to say that the male protagonist fell in love with the female protagonist the first time he saw the female protagonist. Although there is no direct account of the dialogue, the expressiveness is in the eyes of the actors.
When the male protagonist waited for the female protagonist's father to leave in the rain and looked for the female protagonist, the kind of eagerness in Thomas' deep eyes was love. In addition, although her sister was silent at the dance, her eyes were obvious. Somewhat strange, a woman's intuition is sometimes very terrifying, until the next day, her sister asked Thomas why the heroine was obviously not a suitable candidate (referring to cheating marriage and obtaining money), why did he choose her, Thomas did not answer. Because at this time he knew that he wanted to have her. The heroine's father investigated what the siblings had done, and wrote a check to the siblings to let them leave. The hero is so charming, it's easy to deceive a woman at will, but at this time Thomas couldn't help but fall in love with the heroine.
As for her sister, she knew her brother too well, he was too cowardly, even if Thomas fell in love with the heroine, because she would be poisoned to death in the end. So she killed the heroine's father, and her brother married the heroine. It doesn't matter to my sister to kill anyone, not even her mother.
There is a background about the scarlet mountain, that gorgeous and dilapidated castle, built on a ore mountain, the castle and the mine are family heritage, Thomas is collecting money everywhere, just to design a machine to mine ore. So, there was a series of fraudulent marriages and murders.
Speaking of the gothic castle. Huge, majestic, ornate, but dilapidated. When the hero and heroine entered the door, snow fell on the patio, and the roof was dilapidated.
As for horror, the horror to be mentioned in this play is not brought about by ghosts, but the horror of human nature. Ghosts aren't actually that scary, people are the scariest.
For the female protagonist, this is like a gorgeous adventure. For love, she has gone through the selfishness, despicability and cruelty of human nature. In the end, she still chooses to believe in the male protagonist. This is a kind of growth.
Until the end, the two men completely became supporting roles and turned into a war between two women. Chasing, fighting, to each other and to death, at this time, it is no longer just for love, but for protection and survival.
Last but not least: the strings and piano in the soundtrack, cello, double bass, viola, violin, piano, every note is in its proper place. Music itself is a story.
