Emotions can't keep up

I've always liked this type of movie - classic, magical, plus the actor is Higgins. The scenes and costumes in it satisfied my appetite, but after watching the movie, it was really unsatisfactory, and I had no idea that this was the work of a Pacific Rim director. The characters' feelings and plot were not handled carefully enough, and many reasons were not explained clearly. I felt that the love between the male and female protagonists was not portrayed enough and failed to achieve a sublimated part, so that the male protagonist became a ghost later, which did not move me. When I watched the trailer, I always thought that the character of Hidden must not be a human, but an alien with secrets, ghosts, monsters, etc. The movie also revealed gloomy secrets everywhere. It's a person. The only thing that this film is capable of is that the heroine is someone who can see ghosts, and the rest are ordinary people. Another thing that makes me feel inferior is that the conversion lens is full-screen black, and an important point is surrounded by a circle, which really looks very old-fashioned. It is still the kind that uses a solid circle without blurring. In my opinion, the picture changes. very stiff. I'm not a professional, I'm just expressing my opinions and feelings.

[first lines]
Edith Cushing: [narrating] Ghosts are real. This much I know. The first time I saw one I was 10 years old. It was my mother's. Black cholera had taken her. So Father ordered a closed casket, asked me not to look. There were to be no parting kisses. No goodbyes. No last words. That is, until the night she came back.

Society Girl: It seems he's a baronet.
Society Girl: What's a baronet?
Society Girl: Well, an aristocrat of some sort.
Edith Cushing: A man that feeds off land that others work for him. A parasite with a title.
Society Girl: This parasite is perfectly charming and a magnificent dancer. Although, that wouldn't concern you, would it, Edith, our very young Jane Austen?
